Your Mission on the Team: Your mission is to accelerate the development of the novel antenna technologies at the core of Meridian Space's next-generation approach to LEO satellite communications. You will be responsible for research, simulation, design, optimization, testing, and calibration - leading to the rapid deployment these technologies in an operational satellite constellation. Basic Qualifications: • At least5years of experience with a Bachelor's, or aMaster'sdegree in an engineering discipline with an emphasis in electromagnetic theory and/or microwave circuits • Good, intuitive understanding of electromagnetics and optics in microwave systems (refraction, diffraction, Huygen's principle, etc.) • Experience in designingelectronically scanned antennas • Experience in the design of patches,metasurfaces,horns,waveguidesor similar compact antennas • Expertisein electromagnetic simulation tools like HFSS, CST, or FEKO • Application of system simulation tools like Python or MATLAB • Familiarity with range testing and ability tooperaterelevant test equipment • Excellent verbal and written communications skills and ability to work in a team Preferred Qualifications: • Experience developingreflectarrayortransmitarrayantennas • Experience developing shaped reflector antennas • Experience designing antennas for PCB manufacturability • Broader experience of RF/microwave systems (particularly 10.7 GHz - 51.4 GHz) • Experience with passive RFcomponentcharacterization • Experience with near fieldantenna rangetesting • Experience with advanced beamforming methods • Experience using automation to conduct exploratory RF design analysis • Experience with space-qualified systems ITAR Requirements Meridian is required by the U.S. Government to comply with various space technology export regulations including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
