About The Position

Falcata’s Product Solutions (PS) Division is seeking a Senior RF Electronics Engineer in Huntsville, Alabama. The role focuses on analysis and design of RF/microwave and analog/mixed-signal circuits and systems for RF sensors used in precision weapons or electronic warfare domains. The engineer supports the product lifecycle across multiple product lines, spanning development and manufacturing for missile, rocket, electronic warfare, and gun-launched munition platforms. Solutions may include proximity, height-of-burst (HOB), unmanned RF payload, or seeker sensors. The position supports system and subsystem development from upfront analysis and prototyping through end-item development and evaluation in laboratory and field-test environments, working with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science degree and a minimum of 5–7 years of industry experience.
Experience in RF/microwave circuit design and testing.
Experience in analog/mixed-signal design and testing.
Experience with modeling, data collection, and analysis using scripting tools such as MATLAB, Python, or MathCAD.
Strong understanding of RF engineering principles, including VSWR, gain, and linearity.
Excellent organizational and communication skills.
Ability to prioritize work and maximize productivity.
Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret DoD clearance.
U.S. citizenship required.

Nice To Haves

Master’s degree and a minimum of 8–10 years of industry experience.
