Jobs at ThinKom Solutions

Drive system architecture, interface definition, requirements traceability, hardware/software integration, and verification for advanced antenna platforms. Define ConOps, ICDs, interconnects, network architectures, power and thermal budgets, test plans, and compliance matrices. Support design reviews, trade studies, customer and supplier interfaces, and multiple defense, aerospace, and SATCOM programs.

Designs, analyzes, manufactures, integrates, and tests RF antennas, antenna feeds, mobile and stationary antenna systems, and related components. Supports product development from concept through testing, prepares design review materials, documents RF designs, assists with proposals, and contributes to system integration and product support. Requires knowledge of electromagnetics, antenna theory, waveguides, transmission lines, programming, and engineering software.

Coordinates and oversees multiple engineering, research, development, and customer-funded programs. Manages project plans, budgets, schedules, resources, risks, scope changes, suppliers, customer communications, and design-to-production transitions. Leads team meetings, presents design reviews, supports production issues and proposals, and identifies customer expansion opportunities. Requires technical understanding, strong communication, planning, negotiation, and problem-solving skills, plus eligibility for a U.S. Department of Defense security clearance.

Leads system-level architecture, requirements decomposition, interface definition, component evaluation, integration, and verification for high-power microwave and counter-UAS systems. Coordinates cross-functional IPTs, customers, suppliers, and subcontractors; conducts RF testing and evaluates system performance against use cases. Maintains technical documentation, supports design reviews, ensures DoD contract compliance, and manages lifecycle development from design through validation.

Design, analyze, develop, test, and support manufacturing of advanced antenna systems and mechanical assemblies. Lead mechanical engineering efforts on select programs, create CAD designs, perform structural, thermal, and dynamic FEA, troubleshoot prototypes, support qualification testing, optimize manufacturability, and mentor junior engineers. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, suppliers, manufacturing, and customers throughout the product lifecycle.

Develop automated Python test frameworks, analyze operational telemetry and logs, investigate connectivity anomalies, perform hardware-in-the-loop testing, verify software and system requirements, and diagnose embedded network and bus issues. The role collaborates with software, RF, controls, and field engineering teams to identify defects and present technical findings. It requires laboratory equipment experience, Linux and networking skills, RF and controls knowledge, and eligibility for a U.S. DoD security clearance.

Develops and closes complex technical business opportunities for antenna subsystems and terminals across military and commercial markets. Identifies prospects, evaluates deals, manages pipelines, leads negotiations, coordinates technical proposals with engineering, and builds relationships with defense, aerospace, and SATCOM customers. Represents the company at industry events and improves sales operations. Requires SATCOM and antenna sales experience, technical communication skills, U.S. work authorization for export-controlled programs, and up to 20% travel.

Leads the company’s software engineering organization, setting technical strategy, overseeing embedded software development, architecture, integration, testing, releases, quality, and configuration management. Manages software development, QA, and DevOps teams; establishes processes, resource plans, quality gates, and organizational structure. Supports proposals and systems engineering requirements while ensuring compliance with security, export-control, and corporate policies.

Lead end-to-end systems engineering for advanced SATCOM antenna platforms. Define architectures, close RF link budgets, perform RF trade studies and interference analyses, establish requirements, manage compliance matrices, and flow requirements to multidisciplinary engineering teams. Coordinate with customers, suppliers, and internal teams through design, verification, certification, and production. Develop test plans, support qualification and network approvals, manage technical risks, and present design reviews across concurrent satellite communications programs.

Lead the mechanical architecture, design, analysis, testing, manufacturing, and customer support of advanced stationary and mobile antenna systems. Serve as lead mechanical engineer on key programs, perform FEA and root-cause troubleshooting, drive DFM/DFA and product realization, collaborate with suppliers and production teams, present technical designs, and mentor junior engineers.
