Job Description: An opportunity for a Junior RF Microwave Radiometer Engineer has arisen within Airbus Defence and Space, Getafe (Madrid) . The selected candidate will join the Microwave Instrument Engineering Team , a highly specialized and multidisciplinary group dedicated to cutting-edge microwave engineering for space-based Earth-observation missions. You will contribute directly to the definition, prototyping, validation, and integration of high-precision passive microwave payloads, participating across early feasibility studies, implementation phases, and payload delivery. As an early-career engineer, you will benefit from structured mentorship, technical training, and hands-on learning opportunities within an international space environment.



Responsibilities The main tasks of the jobholder will be:

- RF Architecture & Budget Analysis: Translate payload mission requirements into equipment specifications and build RF link/system budgets (noise figure, noise temperature, gain, dynamic range, and sensitivity).
- Detailed Design & Simulation: Develop schematic and electromagnetic models for RF front-ends (receivers, LNAs, mixers, filters, detectors, and antenna-coupling networks) using tools such as HFSS, ADS, or CST Studio.
- Prototyping & Laboratory Testing: Assemble breadboards and prototypes; conduct hands-on lab]]>
