Full-time, 40 hours per week. Company Description MetaSensing is an innovative Italian remote sensing company founded in 2008 with the aim of commercializing the new compact, high resolution radar mapping technology. In just a few years, MetaSensing has acquired numerous successful airborne radar campaigns completed at the Ka, Ku, X, C, S, L and P frequency bands, and developed drone and space-based radar systems for different applications. Today MetaSensing is one of the unique companies in the world which offer cost effective airborne and space-based radar sensors and services both for commercial and security applications. Combination of innovative technology and advanced processing techniques has made MetaSensing a fast growing, global company with projects in Europe, South-East Asia, Middle East, North and South America. You will turn system requirements into validated RF hardware by combining a solid foundation in modern antenna theory and microwave engineering with hands-on skills in simulation, layout/prototyping, and lab characterization. We value engineers who can interpret system metrics (gain, sensitivity, dynamic range, nonlinearity, spurious/harmonics) and drive iterative improvement through tight design-build-test loops. Build 3D EM models and perform optimization in CST Studio Suite (preferred): boundary conditions, meshing strategy, ports, parameter sweeps, near-to-far transformations. Contribute to RF PCB implementation and review: stackups, controlled impedance routing, grounding,
transitions, via strategies. Coordinate with manufacturing/assembly partners to ensure DFM/DFT readiness and repeatable builds IP2/IP3, P1dB, gain compression, intermodulation products, spurious and harmonic content, NF. Support selection/integration and validation of RF front-end components and modules (LNA/driver/PA/mixer/LO chain) Measurement and verification with VNA, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and power meters to measure harmonics, two-tone IP2/IP3, P1dB / gain compression, spurious, intermodulation products and NF. Support antenna pattern/gain/polarization validation (anechoic chamber or equivalent) Arrays (array factor, grating lobes, sidelobe management, tapering) Practical lab skills and measurement discipline; working knowledge of ADS/AWR and PCB tools (Altium/KiCad/OrCAD) is a plus Preferably 3+ years in advanced technology, defense, radar, communications, or RF product development Strong communication skills required, including the ability to clearly express technical concepts in verbal and written forms across different management levels. Taste for international contacts. Manifest the flexibility needed to be integrated in the different stages of a project. Good knowledge of the English language for the working environment MSc/PhD is a strong plus
- especially in antennas, electromagnetics, RF/microwave engineering, waveguides/resonators, radar/communications, or related domains #
