Electrical Engineer

About The Company

Mission Microwave Technologies was founded in 2014 to revolutionize the next generation of Solid-State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) and Block Up converters (BUCs). We utilize advanced GaN transistors, unique power combining technology, and novel full-system designs to create the industry’s most efficient, lightweight, and compact high-power SSPAs. Our management team has more than 100 years of combined experience supplying high-performance, high-reliability SSPAs to commercial, military, and space customers.

We’ve achieved significant growth in only 10 years and are currently owned by a private equity firm. We are proud to be listed as #23 in Fortune's Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production, and have been certified as a Great Place to Work since 2022.

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for the design, development, and sustainment of high-reliability RF electronic hardware used in defense, aerospace, and mission-critical applications. This role owns electrical design execution from concept through production and ensures products meet stringent performance, quality, and compliance requirements. The Electrical Engineer plays a critical role in delivering robust, repeatable designs that align with Mission Microwave’s commitment to technical excellence, manufacturability, and long-term program success.
