Satellites - aerospace, mechanical, and electrical engineers
Radars - electrical and mechanical engineers
Both radars and satellites are complex pieces of machinery that would require many engineering disciplines to design.

Structural Engineer - space frame
Mechanical Engineer - movable surfaces such as deployable solar panes, gyroscopic stabilizers
Electronic Engineer - communications, sensor arrays, radar, power supplies, power management, batteries, solar arrays, on-board computer, radiation hardened components
Propulsion Engineer - reaction control system
Software Engineer - operating system, applications, telemetry
At least that is the general overview. A lot of engineering disciplines come together to build satellites.

If you know anything about the real world, no project has just 1 type of engineer on its crew.
A satellite would need mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, aerospace engineers, maybe a materials engineer....there are few products in today's world that are produced with one type of science involved.
