HEICO
Join to apply for the
RF Engineer III
role at
HEICO
Lucix Corporation, a subsidiary of HEICO’s Electronic Technologies Group, has steadily evolved to become the world leader in RF Active and Passive Units, Subsystems, and Assemblies, for Commercial, Civil and Defense Satellite Payloads. Lucix also provides RF hardware for Airborne and Ground Systems. All hardware is designed, qualified, manufactured, tested, and shipped from Lucix facilities in California, USA.
We are seeking an experienced RF Engineer III to join our Engineering team. The RF Engineer III is a technical expert that will lead as a project engineer for RF products including Oscillators, Central Power Supply Units (CPSUs), Frequency Converters, and Amplifiers for our commercial space customers.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Lead design and development of complex RF products with emphasis on oscillator products
Analyze customer requirements and constraints
Generate detailed design proposals for customers and provide expert‑level advice on trade‑off discussions for design concepts
Estimate total costs, including material, labor, test and development costs and lead time for new products to be quoted
Independently complete RF system and circuit design
Support analog control circuitry designs for features including voltage regulation, gain control, automatic level control, and temperature compensation
Perform detailed analysis of compliance for electrical, mechanical, environmental and regulatory requirements (compliance matrix) for all new products being quoted
Determine methods and procedures for new assignments
Tune, test and report on prototypes/engineering models
Support Operations by creating test data sheets, supporting integration and test
Provide clear, consistent technical judgment
Invent new technologies
Mentor junior engineers in areas of RF design and analysis
Perform other duties as assigned
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent related experience
Minimum 5 years experience in the RF/Microwave industry
Demonstrated RF/MW oscillator design knowledge and competence working in several oscillator topologies with emphasis on ultra‑low phase noise
Proficiency in RF principles and theories (RF signal cascade, impedance matching, amplifier topologies, multipaction, NF, stability, distortion, etc.)
Extensive experience with the simulation, design, test and realization of RF components
Expertise in commercial RF/Microwave 2.5D, 3D simulation software (ADS or Microwave Office/AWR preferred)
Expert understanding of RF board‑level design (component selection/placement, shielding, microstrip, lumped‑element matching, distributed matching, etc.)
Experience with RF laboratory equipment and RF test methods
Experience in all phases of RF product development from proposal to production
Experience with InP VCO design preferred
Experience with Microwave circuit design through Ka‑band frequencies preferred
Experience leading multiple projects in different phases of completion
Experience reviewing and creating design documentation (schematics, assembly drawings, BOMs, test procedures, etc.)
Familiarity with schematic capture (OrCAD preferred)
Experience reviewing the work of junior engineers and providing technical guidance (technical mentoring)
Strong oral and written communication skills
Able to evaluate Lucix processes and industry best practices to identify areas for improvement
Seniority Level Mid‑Senior level
Employment Type Full‑time
