What this role is
This role owns the RF subsystem architecture and design for deep-space spacecraft, handling everything from link budgets and ground-station integration through to flight qualification and operations. It suits experienced RF engineers who thrive in hands-on environments and want to solve novel communication challenges at extreme distances with tight mass and power constraints.
