Antenna systems / Array processing Engineer

IMST GmbH (http://www.imst.com) is an independent design & test house for RF, electronics and software. It has over 10 years experience in the development of mobile radio systems and microelectronics. More than 140 engineers develop customer specific devices or applications. The service provided covers the whole design flow, starting with ideas for new products up to the actual implementation & product qualification, and even manufacturing.
A main focus is the development of wireless terminals for mobile communications and satellite communications. This covers anything from small RF modules up to complex satellite communication terminals for ships, cars and planes. IMST's customers include both large enterprises and SMEs.

IMST is developing steerable antennas for satellite communications, radar systems and mobile communications. These systems range from multi-axis mechanically steered antennas, to electronically steered antennas based on planar or conformal arrays.

The Array-Processing Team is responsible of the implementation of the antenna steering. This includes not only the determination of the position of the antenna itself based on the data gathered by sensors (data fusion), but also techniques and algorithms for the estimation of the direction of arrival (DoA), beamforming, beamsteering and tracking.

Duties & Responsibilities:

• Design and implementation of algorithms (DoA, beamforming, beamsteering) for steerable antenna arrays
• Laboratory and field tests
• Measurement campaigns
• Multidisciplinary and project-oriented teamwork, direct contact with customers.
• Continuous training and participation in international trade fairs and conferences

Qualifications:

• University degree or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering. work experience is not required, but would be a plus.
• Basic knowledge of antenna technology, telecommunications and linear algebra.
• Experience with MS Office, Matlab/Simulink, C/C++
• Good 3D orientation capabilities
• Capable of working in a team as well as autonomously showing initiative
• Good knowledge of English is compulsory. The working language at IMST is German, so the candidate must either have a knowledge of German, or be willing to learn it. Other languages would also be appreciated.
