Additional duties of Principal Antenna Engineer beyond existing Antenna Engineer role:● Lead group of electrical engineers working on antenna designs, interfacing with the broader team to create and derive requirements.● Work in a multi-disciplinary environment to develop concepts, identify creative solutions to customer requirements, and assess feasibility of solutions. Oversees the full spectrum of product development (concept, design, implementation, test, production, and support) as it relates to antenna systems.● Technical advisor / mentor to provide insight to other antenna engineers regarding design considerations, previous company IP, software training, tips/tricks, etc. ● Simulate, design and test, with support from individual team contributors, the development of various antenna systems in line with customer requirements and objectives. ● Help draft requirements (SCDs) and extract from those that are directly related to the antenna system. Work directly with customers on deriving these requirements.● Support any travel or on-site visits needed to troubleshoot or complete a customer project.● Work directly with Chief Scientist to identify new projects and perform risk-reduction during Business Development (BD) phase. Once job is created and risk-reduction completed, pass off design to antenna engineer (or self complete design ) to take the design to completion. Support design until completion.
