We are experiencing growth and seeking an RF Design Engineer at Lockheed Martin's Andover, MA facility. We offer an excellent working environment with a mix of cutting‑edge design and genuine hands‑on electronics laboratory testing and product development. This exciting RF position provides an opportunity to be a key contributor on our team of industry‑leading RF design experts.

In this role, the Staff RF Engineer will support the development and production of complex multi‑function modules used in challenging high reliability applications in all phases of the product life cycle. The engineer will have the opportunity to design and develop circuits, modules, and sub‑systems from initial concept through prototyping and full‑rate production. They will work on complex technical problems, provide innovative solutions, work independently, mentor less experienced engineers, architect and design RF systems and circuitry, develop RF circuitry for high frequency and microwave applications, manage hardware layout, component evaluation, prototype construction, and test, prepare test RF hardware to verify performance characteristics including simulation and modeling, provide inputs to Product Development for formal documentation, support manufacturing during deliverable assembly and test, develop RF System/Subsystem Architectures (antennas, transmitters, receivers, low noise amplifiers, high power amplifiers, RF conversion elements and transmission line equipment), perform link analysis and optimization with simulation and hardware validation, develop and allocate RF system and subsystem functional and performance requirements, identify and track RF technical performance measurement (TPMs), perform RF system/subsystem/component trade studies and CAIV analysis, support life cycle COTS, reliability, availability, maintainability analysis, contribute to or author proposals, and collaborate with other engineering disciplines including hardware engineers, system engineers, and circuit design engineers as well as technician and manufacturing support personnel.

We are committed to supporting your work‑life balance and overall well‑being, offering flexible scheduling options.
