RF Payload & Communications Engineer

Purpose of the Role:

Support RF payload and communications engineering for the LEO satellite constellation. The role performs RF and link-budget analysis and antenna and microwave simulation under mentorship, and supports payload and communications engineering tasks, as part of the payload-interfaces team.

Job Responsibilities:

RF & Communications Analysis

• Perform RF analysis and link-budget calculations for the payload and communications, under mentorship.
• Support antenna and microwave analysis and simulation (for example, with HFSS or CST tool), and interpret results against requirements.
• Assist with payload and communications engineering tasks and trade studies.

Documentation & Team Support

• Prepare analysis notes, calculation sheets, and documentation.
• Support design reviews and studies, and incorporate feedback.

Coordinate with the payload-interfaces team, and build depth in RF and microwave engineering, antenna theory, and link budgets.

RoleDeliverables:

• RF and link-budget analyses supported under mentorship.
• Antenna and microwave simulation results, interpreted against requirements.
• Payload and communications engineering tasks supported, with analysis documentation maintained.

Skills required:

• Foundation in RF and microwave engineering.
• Antenna theory and link budgets.
• RF simulation tools (for example, HFSS or CST) at a foundational level.
• Analysis and documentation.
• Team coordination and willingness to learn under mentorship.

Education Qualification: BE or BTech in Electronics and Communication, ME or MTech desirable.

Experience Required: 1 - 2 years
