Senior Ground Station Systems Engineer with Security Clearance

Join a team that builds complete antenna systems from RF to bits, delivering satellite communications terminals and antenna products for commercial and government customers. The Atlanta, GA (Duluth) office runs its own outdoor test facilities, including a multi system, multi pad boresite range, two planar nearfield ranges, and a nearby 1500 foot elevated pattern range with a control room. As an authority in your field, you will technically lead antenna systems programs end to end, from first customer conversation through delivery of a verified system. What You Will Do

• Coordinate and lead all technical aspects of an antenna systems program, from requirements and concept discussions and customer analysis through formal proposal and contract award
• Own the detailed system design
• Lead implementation, test, system verification, delivery and sell off of the completed system to the customer
• Work on radio frequency transmit and receive electronics, high speed modems, and the software systems that deliver a stream of bits to the end customer
• Work on the mechanical structures that form the antenna, and the motors and controllers that position the reflectors
• Serve as a key member of the ground terminals division, spanning business development, proposal generation, systems engineering and project engineering Required Qualifications
• 14+ years working on complex systems
• Direct work with RF subsystem design and analysis across multiple fielded projects
• Proven ability to conceptualize, design, implement and test field satellite ground terminals, antenna telemetry systems or similarly complex systems
