About Harpy Aerospace

Harpy Aerospace is building the future of accessible space technology by developing innovative satellite systems, remote-sensing platforms, and scientific payloads. As we expand our satellite communications and payload capabilities, we are seeking a passionate and detail-oriented RF Design Engineer to strengthen our core engineering team.

Role Overview

As an RF Design Engineer at Harpy Aerospace, you will lead the design, simulation, and testing of RF subsystems for nanosatellites, including antennas, transceivers, and telemetry systems. You will collaborate closely with systems, mechanical, and mission operations teams to develop robust space-qualified RF solutions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and optimize RF circuits: LNAs, mixers, filters, impedance networks, and power amplifiers
  • Develop and simulate antenna systems for CubeSats (UHF/VHF/S/L bands) using CST/HFSS
  • Perform link budget analysis for ground-space communication (TT&C and payload data)
  • Ensure compliance with IARU, ITU, and WPC regulations for frequency coordination
  • Support SDR integration, beacon systems, and custom transceivers
  • Create test plans and conduct functional RF testing with VNA, spectrum analyzer, and signal generators
  • Collaborate with mechanical and PCB layout engineers to ensure EMC/EMI compatibility and flight readiness
  • Document test results, prepare design reviews, and support mission operations post-deployment

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's/Master's degree / PhD in Electronics, Telecommunications, Avionics or RF/Microwave Engineering
  • Minimum 1–4 years hands-on experience in RF subsystem design and prototyping
  • Proficiency with RF simulation tools (e.g., Keysight ADS, CST, Ansys HFSS)
  • Experience with amateur satellite communications, modulations (2FSK/BPSK), and space mission protocols
  • Strong foundation in PCB design for RF layouts and test validation

Preferred Experience

  • Experience with CubeSat or small satellite programs
  • Familiarity with TI CC1110, or other space-rated RF modules
  • Understanding of satellite link budgeting, Doppler shift handling, and in-orbit RF diagnostics
  • Knowledge of ECSS or ISRO quality standards for spaceflight hardware

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge nanosatellite missions from concept to orbit
  • A collaborative, hands-on R&D environment with direct impact on mission success
  • Competitive compensation with performance-based incentives
  • Mentorship and growth alongside senior engineers and space scientists
  • A chance to contribute to India's new space revolution
