Experience-led RF Engineering
Three decades of field-tested wireless experience, united by a mission to build trustworthy radio platforms for ambitious teams.
Apex RF Design Studio began as a small antenna consultancy serving aerospace pioneers in 1994. Today we are a global collective of RF specialists, compliance strategists, and manufacturing partners helping organizations bring resilient wireless products to market faster.
We grew from a two-person lab into a multidisciplinary practice by embracing enduring partnerships. Our founders cut their teeth designing avionics for harsh, multipath-heavy environments. That early experience shaped our philosophy: real-world performance matters more than slideware. Every engagement is anchored in field data, iterative testing, and transparent dialogue so stakeholders can make confident decisions.
Over the years we expanded into automotive, medical devices, and industrial IoT while retaining the craftsmanship and curiosity that defined our earliest projects. The result is a studio capable of navigating global regulations, supply chain turbulence, and aggressive launch cadences without compromising reliability.
| Year | Milestone | Impact on Clients |
|---|---|---|
| 1994 | Founded in Seattle, WA with a focus on aerospace antenna systems. | Delivered radiation-hardened designs that still power satellite missions today. |
| 2001 | Opened our EMC pre-compliance lab featuring anechoic chambers and climate-controlled test cells. | Reduced certification rework for clients by 37% through predictive screening. |
| 2010 | Launched medical device practice staffed with IEC 60601 and ISO 13485 experts. | Enabled faster approvals for connected health solutions worldwide. |
| 2018 | Implemented digital thread infrastructure linking requirements, simulation, measurement, and manufacturing data. | Gave program leaders real-time visibility across every stage of RF development. |
| 2023 | Expanded to Singapore and Munich to support APAC and EU certification campaigns. | Delivered in-region expertise with the same Apex quality standards clients expect. |
We pair simulation accuracy with on-bench verification, ensuring every measurement has context and accountability.
Our engineers operate as embedded teammates, sharing dashboards, models, and documentation in real time.
Regulatory and safety requirements influence architecture from day one, resulting in predictable lab passes and smooth launches.
We sponsor graduate research, lead IEEE workshops, and encourage every engineer to teach and mentor.
Elena has architected spaceborne antennas and ultra-wideband systems for 30 years. Her publications on adaptive beamforming earned IEEE fellowship honors, and she continues to mentor teams exploring reconfigurable intelligent surfaces.
A former FCC test lab director, Marcus built our certification accelerator program and negotiates global approvals with agencies across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
Amara bridges RF engineering with product management. She leads discovery workshops that translate business goals into technical requirements, ensuring roadmaps stay resilient under market pressure.
Jonah oversees design for manufacturability, production test development, and supplier audits. His team partners with contract manufacturers to maintain yield, quality, and traceability long after launch.
We believe expertise strengthens when shared. Apex RF Design Studio supports STEM programs, sponsors CubeSat competitions, and releases open-source calibration utilities for the RF community. Our engineers contribute to industry working groups that define spectrum policies, and we host quarterly summits where clients compare insights on wireless roadmaps, supply resilience, and compliance strategy.
