Antenna Integration Engineer - UAV Hardware
Core
Ensure antennas in UAV platforms perform reliably in real products by integrating RF, electronics, mechanical, and systems aspects to validate placement, layout, materials, and shielding for robust GNSS, C2, and telemetry links.
Role type
Antenna Integration Engineer (UAV Hardware)
Builds
UAV platforms, payloads, and ground-facing hardware with integrated RF systems
Domain
Aerospace / Defense / UAVs / RF Engineering
Required skills
Antenna integration, RF hardware design, Embedded RF products, Antenna selection and placement, RF measurement (VNA, spectrum analyzer, SDR), Prototyping, EMI/EMC risk identification, Radiation-pattern characterization
Preferred skills
UAV/drones/robotics/aerospace/defense domain knowledge, Antenna simulation (CST, HFSS), GNSS troubleshooting
Responsibilities
Own antenna integration topics across UAV platforms, support antenna selection and layout, translate link-budget requirements into integration constraints, build and iterate antenna/mechanical prototypes, identify integration risks (detuning, shadowing, EMI/EMC), plan and run antenna measurement campaigns
Seniority
Mid-level, hands-on IC
