Missions
Postdoctoral Researcher in Microwave Instrumentation
Activity
The successful candidate will contribute to the following activities:
• Design and architecture of a microwave instrument in compliance with ESA technical requirements and specifications.
• Selection and characterization of materials.
• Development and operation of experimental test benches under high-vacuum conditions.
• Definition of test protocols, including detailed test procedures and acceptance criteria for environmental qualification campaigns.
• Electromagnetic modelling and simulation of resonant microwave structures to support experimental investigations.
• Preparation of technical documentation, including technical notes, test reports, and project deliverables.
• Interaction with consortium partners (AGH University of Krakow and ESA industrial prime) and participation in technical meetings with ESA.
Your Profil
Skills
• PhD in microwave engineering, RF/microwave circuit design and simulation, or radiofrequency material characterization.
• Strong experience in dielectric characterization of materials at microwave frequencies.
• Solid background in the design and simulation of passive RF and microwave circuits.
• Hands-on experience with Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) measurements.
• Good knowledge of dielectric materials and their frequency-dependent properties.
• Experience with vacuum instrumentation or controlled environmental testing (humidity and temperature) would be an advantage.
• Good command of spoken and written scientific English.
• Ability to work independently, strong experimental skills, and interest in collaborative research involving academic and industrial partners.
Your Work Environment
The project is carried out within an international consortium bringing together ICB (project coordinator), AGH University of Krakow, and ESA industrial Prime. The research focuses on the development and validation of an innovative microwave instrumentation system for monitoring experimental conditions in the space environment. The successful candidate will contribute to the design, integration, and validation of advanced instrumentation solutions in close collaboration with academic and industrial partners, with the objective of increasing the technology readiness level towards operational applications.
