R&D Engr/Scientist I

Job Description As an R&D Engr/Scientist I - RF at Honeywell Aerospace, you will contribute to the design, simulation and analysis of RF and radar systems for advanced products and applications. You will work with a multidisciplinary engineering team on antennas, antenna arrays, microwave circuits and radar subsystems, using ANSYS HFSS for electromagnetic simulation, AWR Microwave Office for RF and microwave circuit design, and MATLAB and Python for modelling, automation, data analysis and radar-signal-processing tasks. This role is suited to an engineer with strong fundamentals, relevant software experience and a willingness to learn through engineering design and simulation. Responsibilities Design, model and optimize RF and microwave components, antennas, antenna arrays, feed networks and related subsystems for specified frequency bands and performance requirements. Create and validate full-wave electromagnetic models in ANSYS HFSS, including geometry definition, material assignment, ports, boundary conditions, meshing, parametric sweeps and optimization. Use AWR Microwave Office for RF and microwave circuit design, matching-network development, S-parameter analysis, tuning, optimization and circuit-to-EM co-simulation. Develop MATLAB and Python scripts for engineering calculations, simulation automation, visualization, radar performance analysis and algorithm prototyping. Analyse antenna and microwave performance using parameters such as return loss, VSWR, insertion loss, isolation, gain, efficiency, radiation patterns, polarization and bandwidth. Support radar-system studies involving link budgets, radar range calculations, waveform analysis, beamforming, detection performance and range-Doppler processing, as applicable to the project. Prepare clear technical documentation, simulation reports, presentations and design-review material. Collaborate with RF, antenna, radar, mechanical, embedded-software and systems engineers throughout the product-development lifecycle Qualifications YOU MUST HAVE Bachelor's or Master's degree from a recognized institution in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, Applied Physics or a closely related discipline. Hands-on academic, internship or professional experience in RF, microwave, antenna or radar engineering. Candidates are not restricted to graduates of any particular group of institutions. Practical experience with ANSYS HFSS for electromagnetic modelling and antenna or microwave-component simulation. Practical experience with AWR Microwave Office for RF and microwave circuit design and analysis. Working proficiency in MATLAB and Python for numerical analysis, engineering automation, signal processing or simulation post-processing. Sound understanding of electromagnetic theory, transmission lines, Smith charts, impedance matching, S-parameters, microwave networks and fundamental antenna concepts. Ability to interpret simulation results and communicate technical findings clearly. WE VALUE Exposure to phased arrays, beamforming, MIMO antennas, FMCW radar, pulse-Doppler radar or radar signal processing. Knowledge of RF system budgets, noise figure, linearity, receiver sensitivity, power-amplifier concepts and electromagnetic compatibility. Experience in simulation optimization, scripting, version control and structured technical documentation. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, teamwork and a willingness to continuously develop new technical skills.
