* Conduct site surveys, climb antennas, and rack hardware as required, ensuring compliance with safety protocols and regulations
RF Test and Measurement:
* Utilize RF test equipment such as Keyband PNA-X, Fieldfox, Spec-A, Sig-Gen, and O-Scopes to test and measure RF system performance, including spectral analysis, modulation analysis, and bit error rate (BER) testing
* Measure and analyze S-parameters, P1dB, TOI, NF, Phase Noise, and Group Delay, with consideration for the impact of non-linear effects, such as intermodulation distortion and spectral growth
* Familiarity with signal processing techniques, including filtering, amplification, and frequency conversion, as applied to SATCOM signal chains
System Design and Documentation:
* Create system drawings and documentation using AutoCAD or Visio, including block diagrams, schematics, and layout drawings
* Understand and apply link budget analysis, antenna patterns, and G/T measurements, with consideration for the effects of noise, interference, and multipath on system performance
Collaboration:
* Work closely with cross-functional teams, including system architects, and project managers, to ensure systems meet user requirements and are delivered on schedule
WHO WE ARE:
The program performs the analysis, design, development, integration, test and deployment, securing, modernization, and operations and maintenance (O&M) and decommissioning activities of RF and optical capabilities.
