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 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.
