About the Role
Mercor is partnering with a leading technology organization to recruit experienced Radio Frequency (RF) and Electromagnetic (EM) Engineering Experts for a short-term project. Experts will apply their hands-on industry experience to analyze and solve complex problems involving RF systems, electromagnetics, antennas, propagation, and related engineering applications.
What You'll Do
- Solve complex technical problems involving RF and electromagnetic engineering.
- Analyze RF/EM systems, components, antennas, circuits, and architectures.
- Apply electromagnetic theory, RF principles, and engineering methodologies to real-world scenarios.
- Analyze technical specifications, system requirements, simulation results, and engineering data.
- Evaluate design trade-offs, performance limitations, calculations, assumptions, and proposed solutions.
- Review and validate technical approaches and results, providing technically rigorous solutions and explanations.
- Follow project-specific technical guidelines and evaluation criteria.
Who Should Apply
- Experienced RF, Electromagnetic, Microwave, Antenna, or related engineering professionals with hands-on industry experience.
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, RF Engineering, Electromagnetics, or a related field.
- Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory, RF engineering principles, and signal propagation.
- Practical experience in one or more of:
- Experience with tools such as HFSS, CST, COMSOL, MATLAB, ADS, or equivalent is a plus.
Candidates with practical experience applying RF/EM principles to real-world engineering systems are strongly preferred.
Preferred Qualifications
- Advanced degree in RF Engineering, Electromagnetics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience with microwave or millimeter-wave systems, antenna arrays, phased arrays, beamforming, or MIMO.
- Experience in radar, wireless communications, satellite communications, or RF sensing.
- Experience with electromagnetic simulation, RF characterization, and laboratory testing.
- Experience translating theoretical RF/EM concepts into practical engineering solutions.
- Research experience or publications in RF, electromagnetics, antennas, or related fields is a plus.
