About E-Space

E-Space is a global space company, bridging Earth and space with the world’s most sustainable Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network to advance humanity, protect the planet, and enable smarter business. Backed by Space Capital.

About the role

Own RF front-end hardware from requirements and architecture through device-level circuit design, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototype bring-up, qualification, and release. Design transmit and receive chains using power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, filters, duplexers, switches, couplers, attenuators, mixers, synthesizers, transceivers, phase shifters, beamformer devices, and RF matching networks.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering , RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related field, with 8+ years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree with 6+ years, or a Ph.D. with 4+ years
  • Demonstrated hands-on ownership of RF front-end hardware from design and analysis through prototype fabrication, bring-up, and verification
  • Strong understanding of RF fundamentals, including S-parameters, impedance matching, transmission lines, noise figure, gain compression, intermodulation, stability, isolation, filtering, and RF power measurement
  • Experience designing or integrating RF electronics for phased arrays, beamforming systems, radar, wireless communications, satellite communications, or a comparably complex multi-channel RF system
  • Experience with RF circuit simulation tools such as Keysight ADS, Cadence AWR, or equivalent, and with schematic capture and PCB layout review tools
  • Hands-on experience operating RF laboratory equipment and independently troubleshooting complex RF hardware
More about this role

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.

E-Space is seeking a Senior RF Front -End Engineer to design, develop, integrate, and verify flight RF front-end electronics for spacecraft phased-array antennas and satellite communication systems. This hands-on role provides end-to-end ownership—from translating system requirements into device-level RF/microwave circuit designs through schematic capture, board layout, prototype bring-up, testing, and simulation-to-measurement correlation. The engineer will develop...
