Scientific Assistant in Antenna Array Design and Testing

Design, implement, and refine antenna and antenna array designs in commercial PCB technologies. Design, implement, and refine antenna array PCB boards to realize operational systems in cooperation with wireless ICs. PCB traces for RF signal feeding/combining/dividing, DC supply/biasing/ground lines, and digital programming should be included in the designs. Develop test control PCBs for antenna array PCBs. Set up measurement environments and support automated testing of antenna arrays with wireless ICs. Lead the execution and analysis of antenna and antenna array test campaigns to validate performance under various operating conditions. Document and investigate test anomalies. Prepare formal test reports for internal reviews and project deliverables. Develop and maintain automated test frameworks to improve repeatability, traceability, and testing efficiency.

The Integrated Devices, Electronics, and Systems (IDEAS) Group is a world leading research group on next-generation wireless technologies for applications, such as 6G, satellite communication (SATCOM), and electromagnetic sensing. Our research is funded by multiple EU, ESA, and Swiss programs and projects, and contributes directly to European digital sovereignty. The IDEAS Group has multiple on-going wireless projects on 6G, satellite communication (SATCOM), and electromagnetic sensing/imaging applications. We also have several developed and experimentally verified antenna and antenna array solutions for these systems.
