Full job description
The Aerospace Corporation is the trusted partner to the nation’s space programs, solving the hardest problems and providing unmatched technical expertise. As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space— delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you’ll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space.
At the Mission Payloads Division (MPD), we are pioneers in remote sensing systems that guide our country’s space enterprise. Our talented and dynamic people create and flourish in electronics, sensors, radar, artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced data network domains. We boldly advance technology through our research and development and then forward to demonstration and integration. With innovative laboratories and prototyping, MPD delivers groundbreaking results. We guide our Department of Defense, intelligence community, and civil clients to enhance national productivity and security and tackle the most critical missions. Bring your intelligence and creative spirit and join us at MPD!
The Communication Electronics Department is looking for an RF/Microwave Engineer who wants their work to matter – someone ready to own projects across the lifecycle of analysis, design, and measurement that will transform the next generation of RF and microwave space systems.
Why We're Different:
Ownership. Not just "contributor to slide 47 of a PowerPoint." You'll lead projects that shape and define the future of space.
Flexibility that respects your capabilities. Choose your approach; experiment and iterate. We trust you to solve hard problems your way.
Collegial, not corporate. Think academic research lab meets mission-critical engineering. We collaborate across disciplines, debate and share ideas, and foster an open and curious culture.
Two-way learning. We'll invest in your growth—and we genuinely want to learn from your expertise.
The selected candidate will be required to work full time on-site at our facility at El Segundo, CA.
What You’ll Be Doing
Shape the future of space hardware – Provide expert guidance on radar, sensor, and communication payloads that contractors build for critical government missions
Master the art of measurement – employ advanced microwave measurement techniques and operate specialized microwave test equipment
Build what doesn't exist yet – Create RF payload prototypes and emulators that bridge the gap between theory and orbit
Model complex systems – Generate performance budgets and run circuit simulations (ADS, Microwave Office) that predict how systems will behave before a single component is soldered
Become an anomaly detective – When hardware misbehaves (and it will), you'll be the one who combines analytical rigor with hands-on experimentation to find out why
Collaborate in real-time and space – Work side-by-side with talented engineers and technicians to solve the hardest problems in the space enterprise
What You Need to be Successful – Senior Member of the Technical Staff
Minimum Requirements:
Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
Five or more years related (including post graduate studies) technical experience in any of the following microwave engineering areas
Modeling of microwave and/or millimeter-wave circuits using ADS OR Microwave Office
Relevant experience with modeling or measuring performance of radar, sensor, and/or communication payload hardware and systems
Modeling of microwave semiconductors or plasma devices
Experience with manual and remote operation of network analyzers, oscilloscopes, arbitrary waveform generators and other instrumentation
Demonstrated creativity in problem-solving, handling ambiguity and imperfectly defined problems, an ability to rapidly grasp new concepts, and excellent written/verbal communication skills
Ability to engage others and influence technical decisions.
Willing to travel domestically approximately 10%
This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI US security clearance, which is issued by the US government. US citizenship is required.
In addition to the above, the minimum requirements for Engineering Specialist:
Seven or more years of relevant experience with communication or radar payload hardware
Mentoring of junior personnel
Technical team leadership
How You Can Stand Out
It would be impressive if you have one or more of these:
Experience with applying AI/ML to microwave design problems
We offer a competitive compensation package where you’ll be rewarded based on your performance and recognized for the value you bring to our business. The grade-based pay range for this job is listed below. Individual salaries within that range are determined through a wide variety of factors including but not limited to education, experience, knowledge and skills.
