About the Role
- Provide strong engineering leadership to a team of antenna and electromagnetics engineers. Define R&D objectives, drive technological innovation, mentor and develop team members, plan resources, assign priorities, and ensure technical excellence.
- Lead the development of antennas and antenna arrays for airborne communication, navigation, and radar systems—from requirements definition and electromagnetic design through prototype manufacturing and laboratory/antenna range testing.
- Perform and oversee electromagnetic simulations and system analyses using tools such as CST, MATLAB, and Link Budget calculations.
- Lead antenna design activities within multidisciplinary programs from concept through production and system integration. Manage schedules, milestones, and deliverables, and prepare technical specifications and Statements of Work (SOW).
- Collaborate closely with system engineering, mechanical engineering, quality, procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and IT teams.
- Manage subcontractors and work directly with external vendors and manufacturers.
- Interface with customers, support production activities, and present technical data in design reviews and technical forums.
Requirements
- M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering with specialization in Antennas or RF – Mandatory
- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (Antennas/RF) – Advantage
- At least 5 years of hands-on experience in antenna development – Mandatory
- Minimum 4 years of managerial or technical leadership experience, with strong multitasking and prioritization skills
- Experience presenting technical data to stakeholders and customers in design reviews and technical forums
- Proven experience in the design and implementation of airborne antennas
- Experience in designing antennas for data links, flight termination systems, and telemetry
- Experience in GPS antenna array design – Advantage
- Hands-on experience performing measurements in antenna ranges, including analysis and post-processing of measurement results
- Proficiency in electromagnetic modeling and simulation tools such as CST, HFSS, FEKO
