Job Description
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Applications Engineer based in the United States.
This role sits at the intersection of advanced RF engineering, system architecture, and customer-facing technical leadership. You will be responsible for designing and analyzing complex microwave measurement systems used in aerospace, defense, satellite, and wireless applications. The position combines deep technical problem-solving with hands-on system design and proposal leadership, requiring both analytical rigor and strong communication skills. You will work closely with customers, translating mission-critical requirements into viable RF system architectures and engineered solutions. In addition to technical design work, you will play a key role in shaping proposals, cost estimates, and system-level recommendations. This is a highly collaborative role where engineering expertise directly influences customer outcomes and product success in high-performance RF environments.
In this role, you will lead system-level engineering efforts for RF and microwave measurement solutions while supporting both customer engagement and internal development initiatives. You will be responsible for turning complex technical requirements into practical, high-performance system architectures.
- Analyze system requirements and design RF and microwave measurement solutions for aerospace, defense, and wireless applications
- Develop system-level architectures, RF configurations, and cable diagrams to ensure technical feasibility and performance alignment
- Evaluate RF equipment configurations and verify compliance with technical and performance requirements
- Lead and support technical proposal development, including solution design inputs, engineering analysis, and documentation
- Prepare cost estimates and technical recommendations for proposed systems and solutions
- Engage directly with customer technical teams to present solutions, gather requirements, and provide engineering support
- Contribute to internal and external technical documentation, including papers on measurement techniques and best practices
- Support engineering work on both customer-funded programs and internal R&D initiatives
This role requires deep expertise in RF systems engineering, strong analytical capability, and the ability to operate effectively in customer-facing technical environments. You should be comfortable working across disciplines and translating complex theory into applied engineering solutions.
