Radio Frequency and Electromagnetic Engineering Expert

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:
• RF and microwave systems
• Antenna design and analysis
• Electromagnetic simulation and modeling
• RF circuits and components
• EMC/EMI
• Wireless communications, radar, or sensing
• RF propagation and channel modeling
• RF measurement and testing
• 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.

Project Details

• Duration: Short-term project
• Work Type: Technical problem-solving, analysis, and expert evaluation
• Domain: RF Engineering, Electromagnetics, Antennas, Microwave Engineering, and Wireless Systems

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
