*Join our team and build the furure of space technology
We´re expanding our team at Alén Space, and are looking for a RF Engineer;
with passion in what you do*
, talented and experienced; to join the Electronic Development Department. This department is responsible for designing electronic devices and products for both the space and ground segments, as well as support tools (GSE), with a strong focus on radio systems. The selected candidate will be responsible for the design and verification of new RF products, particularly the analog frontend stage. This includes the transmission and reception chain, as well as the electronics required to create a self-contained unit (power distribution stage, communication interfaces with digital control systems, etc.). Additionally, the role involves providing technical analyses to assess the performance of the communication system and developing new concepts and architectures.
*What you will be doing?*
* Requirements analysis.
* Performing trade-offs and studies necessary to provide the best solution to the proposed problem.
* Designing analog front-ends across different frequency bands for space applications based on requirements.
* Designing the transmission stage (PA + filters).
* Designing the reception stage (LNA + filters).
* Designing filters and mixers.
* Designing support elements for testing (EGSEs), including cable harness definition.
* PCB design: translating schematic designs into a manufacturable layout (PCBA).
* Collaborating with the mechanical team for the development of shielding or metallic enclosures for RF devices.
* Developing and describing verification and test plans.
* Functional and electrical verification of developed devices.
* Performing RF tests in the lab based on requirements.
* Interference analysis and EMC testing.
* Maintenance of RF designs and products.
* Supporting the Systems Engineering team in identifying new concepts and communication architectures.
What Do We Need In Our Team
* At least 2 years of experience in similar roles.
* Proficiency in English.
* Experience in communications and electronic systems.
* Experience using electronic design tools such as Altium Designer.
* Experience in RF device simulation.
* Experience in RF circuit design.
* Experience in testing RF circuits.
* Experience in verifying communication system parameters (Noise figure, sensitivity, channel selectivity, BER, isolation, mutual interference, phase noise, intermodulation, EVM, IP3, OIP3, etc.).
* Proficiency in the operation and maintenance of RF instrumentation equipment.
* Knowledge of basic digital electronics.
Valuable knowledge:
* Knowledge of ECSS standards and/or other international quality regulations and standards (e.g., ITU).
* Experience in designing RF components operating above 12GHz (Ku to Ka bands).
* Experience in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing.
* Theoretical understanding of space communications concepts.
* Knowledge of antenna design theory.
* Familiarity with software-defined radio (SDR) systems.
* Knowledge of voltage regulation stage design and basic digital control circuits required for RF front-end development (sensors, communication drivers, etc.).
*Candidate qualifications and skills*
* Work remotely for a percentage of time to be agreed upon with the Area Manager.
* Flexible start/finish times; reduced intensive working hours on Fridays and in summer Monday to Friday.
* Competitive compensation with ongoing reviews, flexible compensation .
* Wellbeing program: Health, dental, and accident insurance; free fruit and coffee, free lunch every friday and much more
* Personalized career plan development, training, and language learning support
* Very committed to inclusion and diversity; we promote equal opportunities in recruitment
