Job Description
RF Systems Engineer responsible for designing and integrating RF sensing capabilities for autonomous vehicles. Focused on enhancing electromagnetic spectrum operations and ensuring system performance.
Responsibilities:
- Design, integrate, and test RF front end design & subsystems supporting EMSO and EW sensing, including antennas, RF front-end components, and software-defined radios (SDRs).
- Develop RF architectures that enable wideband spectrum awareness, direction finding, and spectrum agility across VHF, UHF, and lower SHF bands.
- Work with external vendors and partners to specify, evaluate, and validate custom RF components or subsystems when required to ensure Forterra’s systems can support a wide array for tasks.
- Rapidly prototype RF systems using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) or government off-the-shelf (GOTS) components, balancing speed, performance, and system maturity.
- Perform RF field testing, system demonstrations, experimentation, and validation.
- Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers to integrate RF hardware into autonomous vehicle platforms, considering antenna placement, grounding, shielding, and enclosure considerations.
- Diagnose and resolve RF performance issues including interference, data rate/bandwidth limitations, and RF chain degradation in real-world environments.
Requirements:
- 7+ years of experience designing, building, and testing RF or wireless systems from concept through deployment.
- Strong understanding of RF fundamentals, including antenna theory, array processing, RF propagation, impedance matching, filtering, and low-noise amplification.
- Experience analyzing RF system performance using link budgets, VSWR, noise figure, and dynamic range.
- Practical experience across a broad range of frequencies, from VHF and UHF through lower SHF.
- Ability to work cross-functionally and communicate RF concepts clearly to non-RF engineers.
Benefits:
- Premium Healthcare Benefits: Three plan options, including an HSA-eligible plan, with Forterra covering 80% of the plan premium for you and your dependents.
