Antenna Design Engineer

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
As a Senior Antenna Design Engineer, you will own the end-to-end design, simulation, and validation of advanced antenna systems for E-Space’s LEO satellite constellation and ground infrastructure. You are expected to independently design antennas using full-wave electromagnetic simulation tools, with HFSS as a primary design environment, and drive designs from concept through hardware validation.   On-site in California or Texas. Some travel between sites may be required.

What you will do:

• Antenna Architecture and Design
• Lead the end-to-end design of antenna systems for spaceborne and/or ground-based applications
• Independently design antennas and phased array systems using ANSYS HFSS, from initial concept through final layout
• Define antenna architectures supporting beamforming, beam steering, and multi-beam operation
• Design and optimize phased array antennas, including element design, array layout, feed networks, and radiation pattern control
• Perform antenna trade studies considering performance, size, weight, power, thermal, and manufacturability constraints
• Simulation, Analysis, and Optimization
• Perform detailed full-wave EM simulations in HFSS to evaluate gain, efficiency, bandwidth, polarization, sidelobe levels, and mutual coupling
• Optimize antenna designs to meet system-level requirements such as coverage, link budget, and interference mitigation
• Use MATLAB or Python for post-processing, parametric sweeps, and design automation
• Hardware Development and Testing
• Work closely with RF, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to transition HFSS designs into physical hardware
• Support antenna prototyping, integration, and validation testing
• Define and execute antenna test plans, including chamber, range, and over-the-air (OTA) measurements
