Electrophysics Engineer \ Scientist 1\2
Entry-level position in the Boeing Company's Satellite Development Center for electrical engineers whose main technical interests are related to RF/microwave electronics and microelectronics circuit design. Primary responsibilities will be tasks related to the design and development of state-of-the art RF/microwave electronics for communication systems for space-based applications. Activities and duties will include circuit design, requirements and interface definition, modeling and analysis, testing, performance and design verification. Technical support for production and test of space-qualified electronics is also part of this position. Exposure to or experience with RF test equipment such as spectrum analyzers and network analyzers is a plus. Ideally, academic and/or coop/intern experience should include exposure to digital and analog circuit design and theory as well as RF design principles. Exposure to power conditioning electronics, control system design and theory, and/or satellite communications systems principles is a plus. Entry-level engineers work under supervision and mentoring by more experienced engineers in a team-oriented environment.
Competencies
General• Communication
Makes an effort to clarify purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Tries to keep the audience engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection.
