RF Engineer, Titan Aerospace

Santa Fe, New Mexico Area, US - Information Services, Internet

Google engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. As a member of an extraordinarily creative, motivated and talented team, you develop new products that are used by millions of people. We need our engineers to be versatile and passionate to tackle new problems as we continue to push technology forward. If you get excited about building new things and aren't daunted by the challenge of building something from scratch, then our team might be your next career step.



Titan’s products, like other Google products, will eventually span the globe and require managers and engineers to keep the big picture in focus. As a Radio Frequency (RF) Engineer, you will help the Systems Group develop airborne and ground-based wireless communications links that will provide command and data transport, link health monitoring, signal strength, redundancy, line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight capability, and many more. You will participate in requirements planning and documentation, conceptual designs, make/buy analyses, test methodology, design documentation, anomaly tracking and resolution, peer reviews (your designs and others), design reviews, and hardware/software debugging.



Responsibilities

• Design and implement wireless communications links from requirements to production and commercial deployment.


• Perform antenna selection, analysis, placement design, vendor selection, and overall system design and performance analysis (including latency estimates and measurements).


• Support QA processes and Configuration Management functions.
