Antenna Engineer

Job description

Reach is the industry's leading high-performance wireless power-at-a-distance company. Our wireless power changes electric power delivery in the same way that Wi-Fi changed data delivery. We built our system on state-of-the-art, patented technology, including high-efficiency power beaming circuits, network optimization algorithms, and adaptive electromagnetic surfaces, delivering a highly scalable, safe, and easy-to-use power platform. Our solution is ideally suited for manufacturing, government, energy, logistics, and retail. It provides flexible access to power where and when needed, streamlining device deployment and improving device performance. We have raised funding from top tier VC's and are continuing to build out our exceptional team to share our vision and solution with the world. You will develop antennas and antenna arrays for Reach state-of-the-art wireless power delivery system. Your technical know-how and innovation skills are key to designing cutting-edge products in a fast-paced environment. You will work with other engineers to integrate antenna and antenna arrays in our system. This position requires hands-on experience and strong analytical skills to design, implement, test, and troubleshoot complex use cases of a complex, first-of-its kind system. It also requires experience in integration with complex software algorithms. ### Key Position Responsibilities - Design and implement antenna, antenna arrays for high frequency of operation from 2.4GHz to 24GHz. - Investigate, study, and introduce new antenna designs and components. Research new approaches and techniques for future product versions. - Perform computer simulations and PCB antenna prototyping. - Collaborate with PM/Mechanical/RF/EE teams to define antenna requirements and performance goals. - Perform board level and product level EM simulations for best-in-class transmission performance, spatial co-existence, and emissions. - Product design documentation using Reach PLM system. - Own antenna design for manufacturability. - Collaborate with other engineers to perform system bring up and system test. - Support certification and regulatory testing. Support field testing. - Write validation test plans for antenna and antenna arrays. ### Qualities & Experience - MS degree in electrical engineering (PhD preferred). - 3-5 year hands-on experience in developing antennas, and antenna arrays. - Fluent with EM simulation software (HFSS and HFSS SBR+), CST, and circuit simulation tools, such as Keysight ADS. - Hands-on experience with RF lab equipment for RF device and antenna characterization and system performance validation, such as VNA and spectrum analyzer. - A system thinker that can define and design antennas and antenna arrays. - Experience with mmWave phased array or adaptive antenna design. - Experience with metamaterials implementation. - Experience with bring up and troubleshooting of high-power microwave chains, beam forming and steering systems. - Familiar with the design process from concept through board development and system integration for high volume production (DFM/DFMA). - In-depth understanding of safety EMI and EMC compliance and certification. - Ability to work cross‐functionally. - Strong interpersonal and communication skills. - Ability to communicate effectively complex concepts. - Results- and deadline- driven. - Able to work independently with little direction. - Takes great pride and ownership in developing products. ### Nice To Have - Experience using an antenna or anechoic chamber to characterize antennas. - Experience with python and/or MatLab. - Knowledge of regulatory requirements (FCC, etc.). - Experience achieving FCC regulatory approval. ### Benefits - Flexible working hours - Discretionary time off policy - High degree of autonomy and work ownership with strong action-to-impact relationship - Dental, Vision, and Medical coverage, with HMO, PPO, HDHP options - 401k, HSA, FSA offerings - Long-term Disability, Short-term Disability and Life insurance offerings - Hybrid work schedule - Equity as part of a total comp package
