Antenna Calibration Engineer

ROLES and RESPONSIBILITIES

As an Antenna Calibration Engineer specialising in RF/Antenna measurements, you will be responsible for the development, implementation, and testing of the calibration methodology for our current and next-generation antenna terminals. You will be developing, commissioning and running state-of-the-art Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) systems and conducting over the air calibration, verification and development activities for next-generation terminals. You will work closely with RF engineers, software developers, and quality assurance teams to ensure the reliability, performance, and quality of our antenna systems.

CATR Commissioning and Development

·       Commission and run state-of-the-art Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) systems

·       Run calibration and verification measurements of terminals as part of production

·       Run over-the-air development activity in the CATR for next-generation terminals

·       Maintain and develop MATLAB control scripts for the CATR system

Antenna Calibration and Verification

·       Develop, calibrate, and verify the performance of the calibration system

·       Integrate calibration methodologies into system frameworks

·       Develop scripts to validate system functionality

Documentation and Reporting

·       Document calibration procedures, methodologies, and results for internal reference and regulatory compliance

·       Generate reports summarizing findings, including defects and performance metrics

·       Communicate effectively with stakeholders to convey results and recommendations.

Requirements

QUALIFICATIONS, EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS

·       Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field. Master’s degree preferred

·       Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Matlab

·       Experience with calibration and verification of antenna elements such as active phased arrays, low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, frequency conversion, ADC & DAC

·       Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines

·       Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail

·       Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

·       Experience with over the air RF measurements in anechoic chambers (e.g., Compact Antenna Test Ranges (CATRs), Spherical/Planer Near Field Scanners using RF test equipment equipment (e.g., spectrum analyzers, vector network analysers and signal generators)

·       Solid understanding of antenna principles, including digital and analog circuits, signal processing, and communication protocols

Prior experience in antenna engineering, calibration, or software development is highly desirable
