Electromagnetics Research Engineer/Physicist (Lead or Senior)

About the Role

Key Responsibilities

• Lead technical investigations independently or with a small team of engineers.
• Maintain and advance computational electromagnetic and multi-physics tools, including time- and frequency-domain methods in low and high frequency models.
• Apply electromagnetic theory to develop advanced electrical analysis and measurement techniques for lightning direct effects and static charge performance on composite and mixed-material structures.
• Interface with materials engineers to define and qualify new materials meeting lightning and static charge performance requirements while satisfying structural and manufacturing needs.
• Design and advise on testing to characterize materials in electromagnetic environments.
• Apply knowledge of antenna design, RF spectrum, transmitter and receiver architectures, and RF distribution systems to coupling analyses, interference mitigation, and propagation studies.
• Develop and validate electromagnetic requirements for electrical/electronic systems, mechanical systems, interconnects, and structures.
• Collaborate across disciplines to develop architectures for component integration into systems and platforms.
• Support project management by developing work statements, schedules, budgets, and fabrication plans for test articles and fixtures.
• Develop proposals to support new business development.
• Apply knowledge of development, production, certification, and qualification testing to ensure compliance with regulations.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in engineering, engineering technology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science.
