ROLES and RESPONSIBILITIES:
The successful candidate will be working with state-of-the-art over-the-air antenna testing facility for our novel Ku- and Ka-band satcom terminal. This will include leading the set-up and operation of brand-new Compact Antenna Test Ranges (CATR) both in the UK and US. You will be responsible for highly technical calibration and qualifications of the terminals. Using your RF/antenna background, you will integrate MATLAB and Python-based control software to control and synchronise the CATR measurement system with a variety of RF infrastructure, including active RF networks, the satcom terminal (API controlled) and RF test equipment including a Keysight PNA-X, PNA, spectrum analysers, signal generators, power sensors, calibration kits and more.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an engineer that wants to drive a highly technical, novel calibration and measurement system to a production-standard. The successful candidate will own multiple technical development workstreams to use statistical analysis of large RF measurement data-sets to develop our calibration and qualification routines to new heights in order to improve terminal throughput without sacrificing quality.
CATR Commissioning and Development
Commission and run state-of-the-art Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) systems
Run calibration and verification measurements of terminals as part of production
Run over-the-air development activity in the CATR for next-generation terminals
Maintain and develop MATLAB control scripts for the CATR system
Antenna Calibration and Verification
Develop, calibrate, and verify the performance of the calibration system
Integrate calibration methodologies into system frameworks
Develop scripts to validate system functionality
Develop statistical confidence level indications for chamber calibrations
Documentation and Reporting
Document calibration procedures, methodologies, and results for internal reference and regulatory compliance
Generate reports summarizing findings, including defects and performance metrics
Communicate effectively with stakeholders to convey results and recommendations.
QUALIFICATIONS, EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS:
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Physics, or related field. Master’s degree preferred
Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Matlab
Experience with calibration and verification of antenna elements such as active phased arrays, low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, frequency conversion, ADC & DAC
Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
Experience with over the air RF measurements in anechoic chambers (e.g., Compact Antenna Test Ranges (CATRs), Spherical/Planer Near Field Scanners using RF test equipment equipment (e.g., spectrum analyzers, vector network analysers and signal generators)
Solid understanding of antenna principles, including digital and analog circuits, signal processing, and communication protocols
Prior experience in antenna engineering, calibration, or software development is highly desirable
