About the Role

We are seeking a

Senior RF Engineer

with specialized experience in

RF communications and control systems for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs)

and other military platforms. This role requires a strong background in

RF telecommunication design, antenna systems, RF front-end (RFFE) development , and control system integration for tactical environments.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the

design, simulation, integration, and validation of RF and wireless subsystems , ensuring robust and secure communication in GPS-challenged, hostile, and dynamic defence scenarios. Experience with

MIL-grade standards, EMI / EMC validation, and OTA testing

is essential.

Key Responsibilities

D esign and integration of RF communication platforms

(e.g., 4G / 5G, Wi-Fi, GPS / GNSS, Bluetooth) into defence-grade UGVs and autonomous systems.

Design and simulate

antennas, matching networks, and RF front-end modules

using industry-standard tools (e.g., HFSS, CST, ADS).

Perform

link budget, power budget, and range analysis

for tactical wireless systems under military operating conditions.

Develop and validate

transceiver modules

for rugged platforms ensuring reliable data links under jamming / interference threats.

Create and review

circuit schematics , and collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers for optimal

layout, thermal, and shielding integration .

Conduct

EMI / EMC simulations and validations

in accordance with MIL-STD and ISO guidelines.

Oversee

lab testing, bench validation.

Execute

Over-the-Air (OTA) testing

in shielded chambers for wireless compliance, range validation, and RF coexistence studies.

Integrate

RF communication systems with onboard control systems

and vehicle autonomy stacks.

Work with

communication protocols

including CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, USB, and Ethernet for system-level integration.

Contribute to

control system design and integration

for remote vehicle operation, telemetry, and command systems.

B.E. / B.Tech or M.E. / M.Tech

in Electronics & Communications, RF Engineering, or equivalent.

5+ years

of experience in RF system design, preferably for

military or aerospace applications .

Proven track record in

antenna design , RFFE development, and multi-protocol wireless system design.

Deep expertise in

RF circuit design and simulation tools : HFSS, CST Studio Suite, ADS, OrCAD.

Experience in

GNSS systems , RF power amplifiers, filters, and impedance-matching networks.

Proficient with

test and measurement equipment .

Hands-on experience in

OTA chamber testing ,

EMI / EMC pre-compliance

and full compliance evaluations.

Familiarity with

military standards

(MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, etc.) and

quality systems

(ISO, AS9100).

Strong command over

control systems design , including telemetry integration, signal flow mapping, and feedback loop implementation.
