Work History
Antenna Design Engineer II
Raytheon
08.2023 - Current
- Clearance: Secret with Proprietary Programs
- Supported the development and integration of state-of-the-art ultra-wideband phased array antennas, individual antennas, and Low Observable (LO) antennas.
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams of engineers and scientists specializing in Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESAs), Computational Electromagnetics Modeling, RF Testing, Mechanical, Structural and Thermal Analysis, Material Science, and Process and Manufacturing Engineering to advance LO technology.
- Responsible for the hands-on design and realization of individual antennas, phased array antennas and passive RF components
- Designed complex, multi-layer PWBs with blind, buried, and micro vias, ensuring compliance with IPC-2221 design standards.
- Use computational electromagnetic analysis software to design and predict performance on various types of antennas and apertures (spiral, sinuous, Vivaldi, patch, slot, horn, ultra-wideband tightly coupled dipole arrays, etc.)
- Support programs through modeling and simulation of antennas or RF components/systems
- Analyze simulation or test data to verify performance to requirements
- Participate in the testing of RF hardware for required performance metrics: VSWR, insertion loss, gain, polarization, radar cross section (RCS).
