Job Summary
An exciting opportunity exists for a
Sr. Principal RF Module Design/Development Engineer
to join our Module Development Section with the Advanced Microelectronics Solutions (AMS) Department as a technical lead. The AMS department designs, fabricates, and tests state-of-the-art Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) in our on-site foundry. These chips are designed into custom modules to support multiple programs and enhance the capabilities of next generation radar systems.
The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the technical design and development of RF/microwave modules containing GaAs- and GaN-based monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) products. This would be in active support of existing technologies in production as well as next generation products in development. This position requires a strong academic background and experience in RF/Microwave Design, Development, Integration & Test.
What You Will Do
Design RF structures and transitions on multi-layer, multi-channel RF Modules and analog circuitry enabling both receive and transmit behavior
Consult across RF module design, MMIC design and assembly teams
Troubleshoot RF Modules that are prototyped and under development
Qualifications You Must Have
Typically requires a Bachelor’s Degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) Field and Ten (10) or more years of relevant experience (An advanced STEM degree could count for 3 years of experience) with Microwave/RF module, subsystem and component analysis, design, and test
The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance. U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance
Qualifications We Prefer
A Master’s degree or PhD. in a Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) Field
Experience leading teams and/or projects
Experience in module/sub-system assembly & packaging process
Experience in thermal modeling and analysis.
Experience of different topology trade-offs, process and active/passive component selection, system/sub-system level, gain-loss analysis and flowing down requirements from the system to the component level
Hands-on experience with electromagnetic simulation tools such as HFSS, ADS, CST.
Layout experience in Mentor Graphics’ Xpedition, Cadence Virtuoso or AutoCAD
Experience with analytical tools such as Matlab, Python, or JMP
Experience in cost estimating, budget and schedule management
Understanding of allocating and flowing down requirements from the system to the component level
Experience in a production environment
Experience with microwave testing techniques, including using spectrum analyzers, Real-time Spectrum Analyzers (RSAs), Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) and Performance Network Analyzer (PNAs)
Experience with GaAs and/or GaN MMIC devices
Current DoD Secret level security clearance
