Overview
HR Leader | Executive Partner | Driving Positive Workplace Cultures, DEI Initiatives, and Strategic HR Operations | Expertise in Talent Management… About the Opportunity
Are you an RF Engineer who thrives on bringing complex designs to life in a hands-on lab environment? As a
Senior RF Engineer , you will be a key contributor to our next-generation SatCom user terminals. This is a role for a true builder—an engineer who is passionate about designing, testing, and perfecting cutting-edge RF/microwave radio transceivers for the Ku and Ka bands. Working within a dynamic, multidisciplinary team, you will have a direct impact on a fast-growing global product line. Your work will span the full product lifecycle, from initial design and simulation through hands-on validation, test automation, and final productization. If you are excited by the challenge of advancing state-of-the-art communication technology, we invite you to apply. Top Three Skills to Be Successful in This Role
RF/Microwave Circuit Design:
Proven experience designing linear and non-linear RF circuits (PAs, LNAs, mixers, PLLs) using simulation tools like ADS, HFSS, or equivalent. Hands-On Lab Testing:
Deep expertise in hands-on testing, characterization, and performance analysis of RF components and radios using standard lab equipment (spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, etc.). Test Automation:
Proficiency in developing automated test scripts and equipment using Python or LabVIEW to streamline lab measurements and validation processes. How You Will Make an Impact
Design, simulate, and model
high-performance RF front-end systems in collaboration with systems architects and cross-functional engineers. Develop
hardware specifications for RF systems and components that guide functional design and development. Design and test
complex RF/microwave circuits, circuit boards, and production-ready packages. Identify, evaluate, and validate
new RF components for use in next-generation prototypes and production hardware. Perform
hands-on characterization and detailed performance analysis of RF radios and their individual components. Develop and support
automated test equipment and scripts for lab measurements using Python. Collaborate
with manufacturing teams on robust test methods and provide engineering support for production scaling. Ensure
design compliance with all system and performance requirements through rigorous qualification testing. Qualifications
Experience 10+ years of experience designing linear and non-linear circuits such as power amplifiers, LNAs, mixers, filters, and PLLs. 8+ years of hands-on lab experience in testing and characterizing RF/microwave circuits, including amplifiers and PLLs. 5+ years of RF/microwave design experience using tools like ADS, Altium, HFSS, or an equivalent toolchain. Experience with satellite communication technologies and phased array systems is a significant plus. Technical Skills Strong command of RF/microwave fundamentals and component design (e.g., PLL, VCOs, LNAs, amplifiers). Skilled with RF test equipment: spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers/generators, and network analyzers. Proficient in characterizing RF performance parameters at microwave frequencies. Familiarity with digital communication theory and modulation techniques (QPSK, APSK, QAM). Programming experience with Python or LabVIEW for automated testing and analysis. Additional familiarity with tools like MATLAB and Jira is desirable. Soft Skills Collaboration:
A collaborative team player who thrives in multidisciplinary environments and contributes positively to the team’s success. Problem-Solving:
Demonstrates both analytic thinking and hands-on problem-solving skills—able to analyze complex challenges and proactively test, troubleshoot, and resolve issues in a lab environment. Communication:
Excellent communication and documentation skills to support clear cross-functional and external collaboration. Adaptability:
Adaptable and resilient in a fast-paced, innovative R&D setting with evolving project needs. Physical Requirements Ability to work safely and effectively in a laboratory environment, including handling, assembling, and testing RF components. Comfortable with extensive hands-on testing and bench work using various RF lab equipment. Occasional travel may be required for vendor collaboration or manufacturing support.
