About the role
European Tech Recruit in Mountain View is seeking a Principal RF Payload Lead Engineer to own the architecture, design, development and on-orbit performance of RF satellite payloads. You will lead the technical solution from requirements to mission operations across the full stack.
You will drive phased-array antenna design, beamforming, link budgets and OTA testing, collaborating with RAN/NTN teams to ensure 3GPP NTN compatibility and regulatory adherence for direct-to-device connectivity.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
