Imagine ubiquitous 5G connectivity that will deliver on the promise of 4K video, augmented reality, autonomous driving, drone delivery, and super-fast inflight internet. These bandwidth intensive technologies of the future cannot take place utilizing current wireless and broadband network infrastructure. Pivotal Commware has developed a revolutionary technology called HBF or Holographic Beam Forming, a breakthrough in electromagnetic physics. This disruptive software defined antenna technology is revolutionizing wireless and broadband networks by helping network operators solve their biggest wireless access challenges – capacity and spectral efficiency. Our patented antenna technology helps wireless service providers squeeze every ounce of performance from their networks at the lowest cost, size, weight and power consumption available.

While Pivotal has completely redefined the physics and economics of providing broadband wireless access for consumer, business and military applications, we still need to tailor our technology for a multitude of compelling use cases. Looking ahead, our team will also be developing artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions to complement and enhance our fundamental technology. If you are passionate about what you do and want to apply yourself to this fascinating endeavor, then we’d like to hear from you.

Pivotal is seeking an Experienced Antenna Engineer to support and lead fast-paced projects while working closely with a small group of scientists, engineers and business leaders in a start-up environment. The candidate will be responsible for the design and analysis of RF systems and sub-systems including identifying requirements, writing specifications, and analyzing system performance.

The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to think creatively and to operate within a flexible, fast-paced program dedicated to advancing the state of the art in RF Holographic Beamforming. This position reports to the CTO.

Responsibilities:

· Advance the state of the art for optimal design of holographic beamforming antennas

· Use full-wave solvers (Ansys HFSS), semi-analytical approaches, and numerical models to validate theoretical approaches

· Prove out models with carefully designed experiments that reduce theory to practice

· Manage risk and optimize workflow efficiency in a start-up environment

Required Qualifications:

· Masters with 2+ years industry experience as an Electrical Engineer, RF Engineer, Antenna Engineer or related title

· Strong background in Electromagnetic and microwave theory

· Practical understanding of the performance characteristics of passive and active RF components including amplifiers, oscillators, attenuators, mixers and filters

· Experience using modeling tools such as CST Microwave Studio, Ansoft HFSS or similar is a plus

· Basic software skills in C, C++ and/or MATLAB

· The individual must have excellent communication skills and coordinate with a cross-disciplinary team throughout all phases of development

· This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship

Desirable Expertise:

· Work with phased-arrays, leaky-wave antennas, electrically-steered arrays, MIMO or RF holography

· Knowledge of stochastic methods, linear analysis, advanced electromagnetics and numerical methods

We are an equal opportunity employer.
