About the job
Location: Kyiv, Ukraine (Hybrid Format)
Employment: Full-time
About the Company
Our client is a Ukrainian product R&D company specializing in the development of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and IoT solutions. The team creates proprietary hardware-software products from concept to prototype and production.
The company is currently expanding its RF division and is seeking a dedicated specialist to transition from theoretical designs to practical antenna implementations.
About the Role
As the first internal antenna specialist in the team, you will bridge the gap between external expertise and hands-on development. You will be responsible for the design, simulation, testing, and integration of antennas into real devices.
This position is ideal for an engineer eager to work beyond theory and witness the tangible results of their efforts in physical devices.
Current operational frequency range: 100 MHz – 3.5 GHz
In development: extension to 6–8 GHz
While the lab is currently supported by partners, there are plans to establish an in-house facility with your involvement.
