General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) designs and manufactures first-of-a-kind electromagnetic and electric power generation systems. GA-EMS’ expanding portfolio of specialized products and integrated system solutions supports critical fleet, space systems and satellites, missile defense, power and energy, and process and monitoring applications for defense, industrial, and commercial customers worldwide. We have an exciting opportunity for a Space Communications & Electromagnetic Systems Manager to join our Space Electrical Engineering team in Englewood, CO. We are seeking an experienced engineering leader with expertise in radio-frequency (RF) communications, electromagnetic interference and compatibility (EMI/EMC), and space electronics to lead advanced research and development efforts in a fast-paced environment. Reporting to the Senior Manager of Space Electrical Engineering, the successful candidate will lead a multidisciplinary team responsible for the architecture, design, development, analysis, integration, verification, and testing of spacecraft communications and electromagnetic systems. Work may support small satellites and spacecraft, space-based optical communications, advanced aerospace and electro-optic sensors, nuclear thermal propulsion, and other innovative space and defense technologies within GA-EMS’ expanding product portfolio. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Lead the Space Communications and Electromagnetic Systems engineering team across all program phases, from concept through production, integration, test, and delivery. Direct multidisciplinary teams in the architecture, design, analysis, development, integration, verification, and testing of spacecraft RF communications and electromagnetic systems. Lead the development and analysis of RF communications architectures, including transmitters, receivers, transceivers, antennas, filters, amplifiers, frequency converters, switches, and related interfaces. Direct RF analyses, including link budgets, frequency planning, modulation, coding, data rates, bandwidth, sensitivity, gain and loss, noise figure, dynamic range, and interference performance. Establish and maintain EMI/EMC requirements, electromagnetic environments, design guidelines, verification methods, and test plans. Lead electromagnetic analyses involving emissions and susceptibility, shielding, filtering, grounding and bonding, cable coupling, antenna interactions, and co-site interference. Coordinate RF, electrical, mechanical, thermal, software, structural, and systems engineering interfaces. Ensure designs meet mission, reliability, environmental, and applicable space-system requirements. Oversee RF and EMI/EMC modeling, simulation, component selection, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and system-level verification. Lead technical reviews, requirements development, engineering documentation, anomaly resolution, root-cause investigations, corrective actions, and nonconformance disposition. Serve as a primary technical contact for assigned programs and represent the company in customer, government, supplier, and contract-related technical discussions. Establish engineering processes, standards, and best practices while supporting proposals, budgets, business development, workforce planning, recruiting, mentoring, and professional development. Communicate technical results and recommendations to engineering teams, program management, customers, government representatives, suppliers, and senior leadership. Perform other duties as assigned or required. We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.
