Design and simulate RF/microwave circuits; design complete system products; validate designs using measurement instrumentation.
Manage the lifecycle of products under development.
Own and implement individual technical project deliverables, guide technical decisions and drive technical issues to resolution.
Travel as needed (possibly up to 10%) domestically and abroad in support of project objectives.
Candidate Profile You are passionate about technology and dedicated to delivering a high‑quality product. You research initiatives, try new approaches, ask questions, define problems, dig for root causes, and learn from results while building relationships and collaborating effectively.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (EE) or Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE).
8+ years of experience in electrical engineering, electronics, and RF principles.
Practical knowledge of RF components (amplifiers, couplers, striplines).
Experience using measurement instruments (Signal Analyzer, Vector Network Analyzer, Oscilloscope).
System Architecture design based on internal or external customer requirements.
Develop and oversee system‑level verification and validation of RF systems and components.
Knowledge of microwave modeling tools (Microwave Office, AXiEM, CST, ADS, HFSS).
Knowledge of schematic capture and PCB design tools (Mentor Graphics, Cadence, Altium).
Programming knowledge of test equipment control software (Python or LabVIEW preferred).
Knowledge in signal processing, RF/wireless communications, S‑Parameters, Smith Charts, frequency domain analysis, intermodulation.
U.S. Citizen and/or U.S. Person – required by law, regulations, and/or government contracts with the DoD.
Preferred Qualifications
Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
Hands‑on use of microwave modeling tools.
Understanding of EM simulation, data analysis and presentation.
Understanding of different IC process technologies.
Demonstrated understanding of sources of measurement error, appropriate selection of instrumentation and equipment, integration of hardware and software, grounding and shielding principles.
Experience with VNA, Vector Signal Generator and Spectrum Analyzer measurements.
RF system design and debug experience in a large‑scale production or lab environment.
Strong problem‑solving skills, work ethic, and drive to succeed.
Effectively interact and communicate with customers and work seamlessly in a diverse, multi‑cultural development environment.
Persistently drive tasks and lead projects to successful completion.
Quickly learn applicable technology, systems, and products.
