Summary
T2S Solutions is seeking an experienced RF Engineer / RF Technologist to support the integration, test, and operation of RF systems across spacecraft, payload, and ground segments. This exempt role is intended for early-career engineers or highly experienced RF technologists who understand RF fundamentals and can apply engineering principles in a mission-critical environment. The position is part of a larger RF Engineering staff and operations teams and provides increasing technical ownership over RF test setups and troubleshooting.

Responsibilities?

• Apply engineering principles gained through formal education to exercise independent technical judgment when evaluating RF test results and identifying potential issues, escalating as appropriate.
• Configure, operate, and analyze RF test setups supporting spacecraft, payload, and ground system integration and test.
• Support RF subsystem integration, including antennas, transceivers, filters, LNAs, waveguides, and harnessing.
• Perform and interpret RF measurements such as S-parameters, insertion loss, VSWR, power levels, and spectral characteristics.
• Assist with end-to-end communications testing, including link verification and operational readiness checks.
• Troubleshoot RF anomalies and contribute to root-cause analysis in collaboration with senior RF engineers.
• Maintain RF configuration documentation, test results, and lab records.
• Support rapid prototype builds, hardware bring-up activities, and iterative system development.

Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field required; equivalent extensive professional experience may be considered only where the candidate demonstrates system-level RF engineering judgment.
• Experience supporting RF systems, testing, or integration.
• Strong understanding of RF fundamentals, including impedance matching, signal propagation, and basic modulation concepts.
• Familiarity with RF test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators, and power meters.
• Ability to read and reason about RF schematics, block diagrams, and test procedures.
• Security clearance - Secret (required) Top Secret (preferred) - must be willing and able to obtain.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with satellite communications systems, ground stations, or spacecraft RF subsystems.
• Familiarity with S-band, X-band, Ka-band, L-band and other high-frequency systems.
• Experience in EMI/EMC testing, shielding practices, and troubleshooting interference.
• Background in manufacturing or prototype assembly of aerospace hardware.
• Experience with automated test setups or scripting tools.
