Physical Sciences Inc.
Overview
Physical Sciences Inc., an employee-owned company, located 25 miles north of Boston in Andover MA, is seeking an experienced and motivated Senior RF Engineer to support the research, development, and deployment of cutting-edge technologies including directed energy systems, novel microwave phase shifters, deployable phased array space antennas, and hypersonic antennas. A solid understanding of theoretical concepts and first principles is a must, as well as the ability to work independently. The ideal candidate will be multi-disciplinary, with strong abilities in systems engineering. Responsibilities
Design, prototype, and maintain RF test platforms Simulate and develop novel antenna and transmission line architectures Collaborate with mechanical engineers on design for manufacturing antennas and RF components Support integration of RF sources and pulsed power systems into HPM prototypes Conduct and interpret anechoic chamber and free-space measurements Assist system engineers and business development teams in generating new technical proposals and system concepts Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field (MS preferred) At least 2 years of hands-on experience in RF system design, test, and integration Proficient in using RF test equipment: VNAs, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, and power meters Deep understanding of RF theory and first principles, including components like circulators, amplifiers, mixers, phase shifters and phased-array antennas Strong communication and documentation skills Demonstrated ability to work independently and across engineering disciplines Preferred Skills & Experience
Experience with antenna and transmission line fabrication techniques as well as antenna characterization Familiarity with RF data acquisition and post-processing tools Mechanical prototyping and lab system assembly experience (cooling systems, enclosures, electronics) Proficiency in RF simulation tools such as CST Microwave Studio, HFSS, or COMSOL PCB design and layout experience (e.g. Altium) U.S. Citizenship Is Required.
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.
