More about this role
Northwood is a modern space infrastructure company bringing the benefits of space to the masses through advanced communications technology. We are building a global network of phased array and parabolic ground stations that enable real-time, reliable communication for satellite missions such as national security, global connectivity, and disaster response. With a vertically integrated approach, Northwood designs, builds, and rapidly deploys scalable systems that power the next generation of space missions. If you like solving complex challenges and seeing your work deployed around the world with real impact, Northwood is the place to do it.
As a Senior RF Electrical Engineer, you will design and own RF hardware for Prism, Northwood's 2.4-meter parabolic antenna for high-throughput satellite links. You will work across Prism's multi-band RF chain (receive front ends, frequency conversion, filtering, and the transmit line-up that drives Prism's high power amplifiers), taking hardware from architecture through prototype, characterization, and production. You will make system-level RF performance trades and collaborate across hardware, software, and test teams to deliver hardware that...
