Radome Engineer — Crane, Indiana
Full-time, regular position. This role requires in-person support.

Support airborne radar and antenna system performance through RF test design, radome analysis, and electromagnetic performance evaluation in a DoD environment. Work with systems, test, and integration teams to evaluate RF performance and improve system effectiveness.

Duties
• Develop and execute radome RF test plans covering insertion loss, transmission efficiency, boresight error, phase distortion, and polarization effects.
• Design far-field and near-field RF test procedures in anechoic chambers.
• Use vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators; analyze antenna patterns, beam steering, and RF effectiveness.
• Support electromagnetic modeling using ANSYS HFSS and CST Studio Suite; correlate simulated and measured performance and conduct sensitivity and trade studies.
• Develop RF test fixture concepts and measurement setups; perform data analysis, error budgeting, and root-cause investigations.
• Support Systems Engineering Technical Review events including SRR, PDR, CDR, and TRR; coordinate integration and testing across teams.
• Lead or support environmental and operational RF evaluations involving temperature, structural, and weather effects.

Desired Education and Experience
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field.
• Minimum three years of RF engineering, antenna systems, or radome performance evaluation experience.
• RF test design and execution experience, including far-field testing in anechoic chambers, and hands-on RF measurement equipment experience.
• Experience analyzing transmission loss, phase error, polarization, and boresight error.
• Familiarity with test fixture conceptual design and SETR processes; ability to lead people and coordinate efforts.

Preferred Experience
• Airborne radar or antenna systems, including P-8 or similar ISR platforms.
• Radome design, analysis, or electromagnetic performance modeling; HFSS, CST, or similar tools.
• Automated test development with MATLAB or Python; environmental effects on RF performance.
• DoD or Navy acquisition program support.

Must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance. Due to the sensitivity of customer-related requirements, U.S. citizenship is required.
