Global Connect Technologies
Radio Frequency Engineer
Global Connect Technologies, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, United States, 60009
About the Role
We are seeking a skilled
RF Design Engineer
with hands-on experience in
Altium Designer
and
RF circuit design
for high-performance electronic systems. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing, simulating, and validating RF circuits and PCBs used in communication, radar, and wireless applications. This role requires strong technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate closely with cross-functional hardware and test teams. Key Responsibilities Design and develop
RF and mixed-signal circuits
including amplifiers, filters, oscillators, antennas, and matching networks. Create detailed
schematics and PCB layouts
using
Altium Designer
with a focus on signal integrity and high-frequency design rules. Perform
RF simulations, impedance matching, and network analysis
using tools like ADS, HFSS, or similar. Collaborate with hardware, mechanical, and test engineers to ensure robust product design and manufacturability. Conduct
RF testing, validation, and troubleshooting
using vector network analyzers (VNA), spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes. Support prototype builds, PCB bring-up, and performance tuning. Document design processes, design decisions, and test results for traceability and compliance. Drive continuous improvement in RF design methodologies and best practices. Required Qualifications Bachelors or Masters degree in
Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field . 37 years of experience
in
RF design and PCB layout . Proficiency with
Altium Designer
for schematic capture and multilayer PCB design. Strong understanding of
RF principles , including S-parameters, impedance matching, crosstalk, and EMI/EMC design. Experience with
RF measurement and test equipment
(VNA, signal generators, spectrum analyzers). Familiarity with
PCB manufacturing and assembly processes . Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills. Preferred Qualifications Experience in
wireless communication systems, radar, or antenna design . Knowledge of
simulation tools
such as ADS, HFSS, or CST Microwave Studio. Familiarity with
high-speed digital interfaces
(DDR, Ethernet, USB). Exposure to
automotive, aerospace, or IoT hardware design
environments.
