What You'll Be Doing:

• Hardware Architecture:
  Lead the technical definition and design of the core radar hardware, including
  RF, Microwave, and Millimeter-Wave
  sub-systems.
• Component Design:
  Oversee the full lifecycle development of key hardware components (e.g.,
  Transmitter/Receivers, Antenna Arrays, T/R Modules, and High-Speed PCBs
  ).
• Collaboration:
  Work directly with the Systems and Digital Signal Processing teams to define hardware interfaces and ensure seamless integration of the entire radar system.
• Testing & Validation:
  Define and execute rigorous
  Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL)

• Background in Electrical Engineering
  (B.S. or M.S. required).
• Expertise with industry-standard RF simulation tools (e.g.,
  CST, Keysight ADS
  ) and laboratory equipment (Spectrum Analyzers, VNAs).
• Strong analytical and
  problem-solving skills
  applied to complex hardware integration challenges.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to lead technical reviews and document complex designs.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment, driving technical consensus.
