At GalaxEye

  • Space, we are pioneering the next generation of Earth observation solutions
  • with our cutting-edge satellite technology. As a fast-growing space-tech
  • startup, our mission is to revolutionize the way we gather, process, and
  • deliver geospatial intelligence. In this journey,we are people with strong hands-on experience
  • with RF measurement equipment, troubleshooting and verification against
  • technical requirements. Join us to become a part of an agile, high-impact team
  • working at the forefront of space innovation.

Roles & Responsibilities

  • Develop RF test plans, test
  • procedures, test matrices and acceptance criteria.
  • Perform module, subsystem
  • and system-level RF testing and characterization.
  • Measure gain, insertion
  • loss, return loss/VSWR, P1dB, IP3, noise figure, harmonics, spurious,
  • isolation, phase noise and frequency accuracy.
  • Test RF chains including T/R
  • modules, PA, LNA, PLL/synthesizer, mixers, filters, switches, up/down
  • converters and beamformers.
  • Perform RF calibration,
  • channel-to-channel amplitude/phase verification and RF path validation.
  • Develop RF test setups and
  • troubleshoot hardware, LO, clock, power and signal-chain issues.
  • Support integration,
  • qualification, ATP/QTP and production acceptance testing.
  • Prepare test reports,
  • failure analysis, requirement compliance and technical documentation.
  • Coordinate with
  • digital/FPGA, software, mechanical, system and production teams.
  • Coordinate with PCB/layout
  • engineers to ensure schematic-to-layout implementation complies with RF design
  • and manufacturing requirements.
  • Guide and review RF PCB
  • layout and routing for controlled impedance, grounding, shielding, isolation,
  • return-current paths, RF component placement and signal integrity.
  • Create RF schematics in
  • OrCAD Capture, including RF signal paths, bias networks, power distribution,
  • control interfaces and test points.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience with
  • VNA, spectrum/signal analyzer, RF signal generator, power meter and
  • oscilloscope. OrCAD Capture schematic development and RF PCB layout review
  • experience.
  • Strong understanding of RF
  • measurement techniques and RF component characterization.

Experience in RF

  • subsystem/radar testing and troubleshooting.
  • Working knowledge of ADS, MATLAB
  • or Python is desirable.
  • Experience in radar, AESA, SAR, EW, satellite
  • or other high-performance RF systems.
  • Experience with T/R module and phased-array RF
  • testing is preferred.
  • Typical experience: 3-5 years in RF testing,
  • RF characterization or RF system verification.

Benefits

  • Opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge space missions.
  • Collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering environment.
  • Exposure to advanced radar, embedded systems, and spacecraft technologies.
