Electrical Engineer

Radiance Technologies, a 100% employee-owned company, is seeking a highly qualified Electrical Engineer to support a U.S. Army Space Program. This role involves the development and deployment of a space-based RF payload, contributing across multiple phases of the systems engineering lifecycle including Software-in-the-Loop (SWIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL).

Responsibilities

• Design and analyze RF and electrical subsystems for space-based payloads, including transmit/receive chains, power systems, and signal processing hardware.
• Develop and validate RF link budgets, noise figures, and dynamic signal ranges to ensure system performance under mission conditions.
• Lead and support integration and testing of electrical components in both lab and HWIL environments.
• Create electrical schematics, PCB layouts, wiring diagrams, and interface control documents (ICDs) to support system development and integration.
• Conduct simulations using MATLAB® and/or Python to model RF and electrical system behavior, evaluate design trade-offs, and automate test processes.
• Support space system environmental and electrical qualification efforts, including EMI/EMC, thermal, and vibration testing.
• Participate in system-level reviews (DCR, PDR, CDR, TRR) and contribute electrical engineering content and risk assessments.
• Ensure configuration management of electrical hardware, software tools, and test equipment throughout the development lifecycle.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Minimum 6 years of relevant engineering experience.
• Proficiency with MATLAB® and/or Python for Modeling and Simulation.
• Familiarity with Agile, Digital Engineering, and MBSE methodologies.
• Experience with space systems development and lifecycle processes.
• Experience in creating electrical schematics.
• Experience in creating electrical ICDs.
• Experience completing design trade studies.
• Experience working in a lab testing electrical components and subsystems.
• Strong technical writing and communication skills.
• U.S. citizenship with the ability to obtain a security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in relevant engineering discipline.
• 10+ years of electrical engineering experience.
• Prior experience with space payload manufacturing, integration, or deployment.
• Prior experience in RF engineering.
• Prior experience in custom PCB design.
• Prior experience using VHDL (or similar) for FPGA firmware design.
• Prior experience with FPGAs.
• Prior experience capturing RF Signals of Opportunity for PNT/Alt PNT.
• Active SECRET clearance.
