RF Systems Engineer

Today, everything we send to space is constrained by what fits inside a rocket fairing. That's a fundamental bottleneck to building more capable spacecraft. Rendezvous Robotics is solving this problem with electromagnetic self-assembling tiles: modular spacecraft components that rendezvous, dock, and latch to assemble bigger and more powerful spacecraft than anything that can be folded to fit into a rocket.

We're a small team based in Golden, Colorado, executing on a clear path from flight demonstration to our first operational systems. Our work spans hardware, software, and systems engineering. We are looking for the best people in the world who want to build the next generation of advanced spacecraft.

Responsibilities & Ownership

• The vehicle-to-vehicle wireless chain: radio module, antennas, feed network, driver and firmware stack, and the mesh network, from architecture through qualification and flight
• Link budgeting (space-to-space and space-to-ground)
• Antenna development, from the current trade study through custom design, VNA tuning, chamber measurements against structural mock-ups, and flight qualification (thermal vacuum, vibration, radiation)
