Transmit and Receive Module Engineer

About the role

Pulse Nova, a joint venture between EDGE and Indra, is seeking an experienced Radar Transmit and Receive Module Engineer to lead the design, development, integration, and qualification of high‑performance modules for phased‑array radar systems.

Key responsibilities

• Lead design and development of transmit and receive modules for phased‑array radar architectures, ensuring system performance compliance.
• Define electrical and functional architectures, including gain distribution, phase/amplitude control, power amplification, low‑noise reception, switching, and protection.
• Perform trade‑off analyses on power, efficiency, noise figure, linearity, thermal behavior, reliability, and packaging constraints.
• Coordinate simulation, prototyping, laboratory validation, and environmental qualification across development milestones.
• Collaborate with antenna, RF, mechanical, thermal, power, and manufacturing teams for seamless module integration.
• Drive root‑cause analysis and corrective actions for performance deviations, failures, yield issues, or reliability concerns.
• Support supplier interaction, component evaluation, obsolescence mitigation, and configuration management for critical RF and microwave devices.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Telecommunications, Electronics Engineering, Microwave Engineering, or related discipline.
• 7+ years of experience in RF/microwave design with direct exposure to T/R modules, AESA architectures, or phased‑array subsystems.
• Strong understanding of transmit and receive chains, phase and gain control, low‑noise design, high‑power amplification, switching, and control interfaces.
• Experience with RF simulation, laboratory characterization, and troubleshooting of integrated microwave assemblies.
• Knowledge of thermal management, packaging, reliability, and manufacturability in dense high‑frequency modules.
• Ability to lead complex technical workstreams and coordinate multidisciplinary interfaces.
• Prior experience in radar or defense electronics programs is highly desirable.

Required skills

• RF/microwave design
• Transmit/Receive (T/R) module development
• AESA and phased‑array radar systems
• RF simulation tools
• Laboratory characterization of microwave assemblies
• Thermal management and high‑frequency packaging
• Reliability and manufacturability considerations
