Phased Array Antenna Lead Systems Engineer

We’re supporting a forward-thinking space organization in their search for a Phased Array Antenna Lead Engineer. This role sits within the System Engineering Department and will lead the definition, development, and full lifecycle execution of phased array antenna subsystems — from requirements to test and integration.

This is a leadership role for an experienced engineer ready to take technical ownership and guide cross-functional teams on mission-critical antenna design.

What you’ll do:

• Define and maintain antenna subsystem and unit-level requirements

• Lead requirements management activities, including traceability and justification

• Drive the development of subsystem architecture and performance budgets

• Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure the architecture meets mission goals

• Create and manage verification matrices and detailed test plans

• Track development hardware through build matrices

• Lead development and execution of the Assembly, Integration, and Test (AIT) plan

• Review test data, manage non-compliance, and support automation of data post-processing

What you bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent

• 10+ years of experience in phased array or active antenna systems

• Expertise in beamforming, antenna parameters, and RF subsystem performance

• Experience with antenna test environments, including radiated test facilities

• Deep understanding of antenna applications in space and/or ground segments

• Proficiency with MATLAB, Simulink, and simulation tools

Bonus points for:

• Experience with tools like DOORS, Windchill, or Jama

• Background in satellite or space programs

• Experience creating or using advanced modeling and simulation software

• Proven ability to lead independently with minimal oversight

• Strong communication skills in English (French is a plus)
