Antenna Engineer

Movandi’s Antenna team develops advanced antenna and phased-array solutions for 5G, satellite communications, and emerging wireless applications. As an Antenna Designer / Phased-Array Antenna Engineer
, you will join a key team developing highly sophisticated mm-Wave antenna products and modules
. You will design, simulate, integrate, and verify a range of antenna architectures—including phased arrays, reflectors, and lens antennas—from unit cells and sub-arrays to full arrays and radomes. You will drive performance to demanding targets (gain/EIRP, scan range, sidelobes, efficiency, polarization purity, isolation, and bandwidth) and validate designs using industry-standard EM tools such as ANSYS HFSS
, along with RF/OTA measurement workflows in anechoic chambers.

• Design and optimize mm-Wave antenna architectures (phased arrays, reflectors, lens antennas, and radomes) from unit cells/elements to sub-arrays/tiles and full arrays for 5G and satellite communications.
• Define EM simulation approaches (unit-cell/periodic, finite array, embedded element patterns, coupling, edge effects) and correlate results to measurements.
• Develop WAIM / radome concepts and quantify impact on scan loss, efficiency, and pattern quality.
• Co-design antenna +
  feed network / transitions (matching, baluns, corporate feeds, coupling, grounding) to meet bandwidth and efficiency goals.
• Work with RFIC, packaging, mechanical, and product teams on module integration (keep-outs, shielding, thermal/mechanical limits, manufacturability).
• Support prototype builds: materials, stack-ups, tolerances,
  DFM/DFT
  , and vendor coordination.
• Plan and run antenna measurements (OTA / far-field / near-field), define fixtures, and drive debug/root-cause analysis.
• Deliver documentation: trade studies, simulation reports, design reviews, test plans, and release packages.

• Master’s degree and/or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related fields with 5+ years of related professional experience.
  • Exceptional candidates with a B.S. and strong experience will be considered.
• Strong interpersonal, teamwork, and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

• Hands-on design of mm-Wave antenna architectures
  —including phased arrays
  , reflector antennas
  , lens antennas
  , and radomes/WAIMs
  —preferably in 20–40 GHz or higher
  .
• Strong antenna fundamentals and system metrics: radiation mechanisms, impedance matching, polarization/axial ratio, efficiency, bandwidth, coupling, and array theory (scan, grating lobes, sidelobes, scan loss, EIRP).
• Proficient with ANSYS HFSS simulation and optimization workflows: unit-cell/periodic setups, finite arrays, embedded element patterns, coupling/edge effects, parametric sweeps/optimization, and scripting/automation.
• Experience co-designing antenna +
  feed network / transitions (corporate feeds, power dividers/combiners, baluns, matching, grounding/via strategies, mm-Wave interconnects) to meet bandwidth and efficiency goals.
• Familiarity with Antenna-in-Package / module integration and DFM considerations: stack-up/material tradeoffs, tolerances, interconnects, shielding, and thermal/mechanical constraints.
• Strong RF/OTA measurement experience in anechoic chambers (far-field/near-field), including test fixtures, calibration, post-processing, and simulation-to-measurement correlation/debug.
• Strong English oral and written communication skills; effective cross-functional collaboration (RFIC, packaging, mechanical, test, manufacturing).
