Do you enjoy designing and prototyping novel engineered surfaces and devices for manipulating microwave and radio-frequency electromagnetic fields?
Are your proficient at using computational electromagnetic (CEM) tools, such as CST and COMSOL, for the simulation and optimization of engineered RF surfaces, and in developing custom software to interface to CEM tools?
Are you skilled in experiment design and using radio frequency (RF) hardware and associated software to characterize RF prototypes?
Do you have experience configuring and operating RF systems composed of antennas, vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and signal generators to characterize novel RF structures?
Are you interested in engaging in and learning about processes for fabricating and integrating printed circuit boards?
If so, we’re looking for someone like you to join our team at APL!
As a research scientist, you will join a team of computational and experimental researchers who are passionate about developing innovative solutions that can impact the future development and application of advanced microwave devices, materials, and systems. Our team is committed to scientific excellence and continuous learning/improvement, valuing high-risk, high-reward ideas, honest discussion, and open collaboration. We are seeking a creative RF researcher to help us fulfill the technical needs of existing projects and help in growing new ones. As a member of our team, you’ll contribute to research that proceeds from computational modeling and optimization through prototyping and characterization to real-world transitioned technologies.
As a RF Researcher:
Your primary responsibility will be to work closely with our team to oversee the design, prototyping, and fabrication of novel surfaces, structures, and materials designed for manipulating RF fields. In addition, you will participate in performing anechoic chamber measurements and devise RF testbeds to characterize the performance of electromagnetic prototypes, analyze data, and propose design refinements. Finally, you will advance independent research and development ideas while collaborating with a team of physicists, engineers, and fabrication technicians to gain deeper insights into sensors, devices, and related phenomena.
