Ignion is looking for a Senior Antenna Engineer to help our clients accelerate their time to market. Interested in joining the revolution?

- Full-time Senior Antenna Engineer for the Engineering Department to be involved in IoT projects supporting our customers in the design of their IoT devices embedding our Virtual Antenna technology in any market or vertical (smart meters, trackers, IoT gateways, wearables, etc.). Responsible for design, integration, simulation, and testing of our antenna solutions in the customer device.

- Review project specs and needs ensuring the best solution able to meet customer expectations.

- Responsible for managing and leading IoT antenna integration projects, planning and securing delivery deadlines and goals.

- Provide customer and sales support in all stages of the design cycle, from simulation to prototyping until mass production, providing appropriate recommendations to ensure the success of any IoT development embedding our Virtual Antenna technology.

- Execution of NN-S-1.0, NN-S-2.0, NN-S-2.1, NN-S-2.2, NN-S-3.0 antenna integration services. From initial simulations in bare PCBs going through the revision of design files (gerber, steps, etc.) to more complex simulations including complete devices. All together with performance tests in real devices including passive and active antenna measurements, as well as support in the pre-certification and certification stages with special focus on complex and challenging projects.

- Interaction with internal/external customers and partners.

- Participation in the optimization of design procedures for embedding Virtual Antenna into IoT devices.

- Simulate with electromagnetic CAD tools the total or several parts of an antenna radiating system (radiating structure, feeding and matching networks).

- Design simple and complex matching network solutions in both active and passive systems, to easily adjust the antenna performance in the final device.

- Build and experimentally adjust design prototypes.

- Test antenna prototypes or products in all their main features (S parameters, radiation pattern, antenna and radiation efficiency, polarization, gain, directivity, TRP, TIS, FF, GD, SFF, etc.).

- Adjust the design of the antenna to fulfill the specifications. To experimentally adjust industrial prototypes before the start of mass production.

- Analysis, interpretation, reporting, and presentation of the project results for passive and active antenna performance, preparing briefings for senior management and assisting in problem resolution specific to the project.

- Periodic reporting to the manager of the assigned activities.

- Identify bottlenecks and propose mitigation plans.

- Training and coordination activities of other team members.

- Coordination with the sales team to present technical information and antenna performance results in the final device to the customer while mitigating possible issues.

- Creation and presentation of internal technical reports and technical customer reports.

- Participation in Virtual Antenna webinars and workshops.

- Participation in Virtual Antenna new product design, controlling plan, processes, and fabrication methods.

- Participation in Engineering & R&D projects developing further limits of Virtual Antenna.

- Bachelor in Telecommunication or Electronic Engineering.

- MSc or higher in Telecommunication or Electronic Engineering or equivalent (PhD is preferred).

- Project Management Certification desired.

- 5-8 years of industry experience in the field of antenna design for IoT devices.

- Experienced in radiofrequency design & electronics for IoT devices.

- Proficient understanding and insight on the physical behavior of antennas and microwave networks and systems for all existing communication protocols and verticals.

- Ability to understand and incorporate new technologies to solve complex business challenges.

- Ability to develop multiple best-cost solutions for problem situations. Help to define processes and procedures for engineering tasks.

- Proven results supporting customers during the integration of antennas in IoT devices from the conception phase to mass production.
