Antenna engineer

Movandi’s Antenna team develops advanced antenna and phased‑array solutions for 5 G, 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.

Responsibilities

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 5 G 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.

Requirements

Master’s degree and/or Ph D 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.

Key Skills

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).
