Radio Frequency and Electromagnetic Engineering Expert

$80–$95/h

Remote

Role overview

About the Role

Mercor is partnering with a leading technology organization to recruit experienced Radio Frequency (RF) and Electromagnetic (EM) Engineering Experts for a short-term project. Experts will apply their hands-on industry experience to analyze and solve complex problems involving RF systems, electromagnetics, antennas, propagation, and related engineering applications.

What You'll Do

- Solve complex technical problems involving RF and electromagnetic engineering.

- Analyze RF/EM systems, components, antennas, circuits, and architectures.

- Apply electromagnetic theory, RF principles, and engineering methodologies to real-world scenarios.

- Analyze technical specifications, system requirements, simulation results, and engineering data.

- Evaluate design trade-offs, performance limitations, calculations, assumptions, and proposed solutions.

- Review and validate technical approaches and results, providing technically rigorous solutions and explanations.

- Follow project-specific technical guidelines and evaluation criteria.

Who Should Apply

- Experienced RF, Electromagnetic, Microwave, Antenna, or related engineering professionals with hands-on industry experience.

- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, RF Engineering, Electromagnetics, or a related field.

- Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory, RF engineering principles, and signal propagation.

- Practical experience in one or more of:

- RF and microwave systems

- Antenna design and analysis

- Electromagnetic simulation and modeling

- RF circuits and components

- EMC/EMI

- Wireless communications, radar, or sensing

- RF propagation and channel modeling

- RF measurement and testing

- Experience with tools such as HFSS, CST, COMSOL, MATLAB, ADS, or equivalent is a plus.

Candidates with practical experience applying RF/EM principles to real-world engineering systems are strongly preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

- Advanced degree in RF Engineering, Electromagnetics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

- Experience with microwave or millimeter-wave systems, antenna arrays, phased arrays, beamforming, or MIMO.

- Experience in radar, wireless communications, satellite communications, or RF sensing.

- Experience with electromagnetic simulation, RF characterization, and laboratory testing.

- Experience translating theoretical RF/EM concepts into practical engineering solutions.

- Research experience or publications in RF, electromagnetics, antennas, or related fields is a plus.

Project Details

- Duration: Short-term project

- Work Type: Technical problem-solving, analysis, and expert evaluation

- Domain: RF Engineering, Electromagnetics, Antennas, Microwave Engineering, and Wireless Systems

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

How big is the remote / hybrid opportunity?

Remote work is already huge — but the bigger story may be the hundreds of millions of jobs that could still move beyond geography.

Global remote and hybrid work opportunity infographic

Remote work already connects millions of people with companies they would never have been able to work for a decade ago. But compared with the size of the global labour market, it may still be early.

The interesting number is not only how many people work remotely today — it is how many roles could plausibly become remote or hybrid next.

The chart above starts with roughly 3.3 billion people employed worldwide. Around 300 million jobs are already remote or hybrid, while an additional pool of roughly 250 million roles could potentially move in that direction as technology, workflows and company culture continue to change.

Skills are becoming more portable

This matters because more work can increasingly be matched to expertise rather than location. AI training and evaluation are a good example: companies need lawyers, engineers, designers, editors, researchers, finance professionals and many other specialists to help improve AI systems.

For workers, that creates access to projects outside their local market. For companies, it expands the talent pool from one city or country to the world.
