  • Perform electromagnetic simulations and analysis (using tools like CHAMP, CST, etc.) for RF circuits, antenna elements, and modules.
  • Develop prototypes and optimize performance based on simulation results.
  • Operate RF measurement equipment (e.g., PNF, VNA, Spectrum Analyzer) for design verification and performance measurement.
  • Provide technical cooperation and liaison with internal development teams and external partners.
  • Support production and manufacturing departments for antenna performance verification and troubleshooting.
  • Provide field issue support and visit customer sites as necessary.

Required Qualifications & Skills

  • Bachelor’s degree and 5+ years of relevant experience, or a Master’s degree and 3+ years of relevant experience.
  • Proven experience in RF/Antenna design and development based on product requirements.
  • Deep understanding and hands-on experience in RF/Antenna design, simulation, and measurement techniques.
  • High proficiency in using RF/Antenna simulation tools (e.g., HFSS, CST).
  • Experience in operating RF measurement equipment (e.g., Signal Generator, Spectral Analyzer, Vector Network Analyzer).
  • Experience in large reflector antenna design and development.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across departments and drive projects forward to resolve complex issues.
  • Strong documentation and reporting skills (using Microsoft Office and relevant management tools).
  • Experience in SATCOM gateway antenna design.
  • Korean language proficiency (Preferred)
