Key Responsibilities
Full life‑cycle system design and ownership: collecting requirements, signal‑chain simulations, schematic design, component selection, PCB layout, bring‑up, test, debug, and system integration.
Design and evaluate complex multi‑chip architectures from DC to 55 GHz+.
Identify viable architectures, complete system and chip‑level design trades, including frequency planning, spur analysis, phase noise, gain, IP2/IP3, and noise figure performance.
Review multilayer PCBs for high‑speed effects, signal flow, and design‑rule adherence.
Define and develop design‑for‑test (DFT) to improve testability, quality, and reduce cost; design test fixture for full product characterization.
Perform research and analysis on best design techniques for specific challenges; implement system improvements and upgrades.
Own hardware and system bring‑up and development of test plans, protocols, debug, evaluation, and validation in lab environments.
Act as a technical lead for cross‑functional teams, mentor peers, and influence product direction.
Verify and validate designs to meet customer specifications and expectations.
Prepare proposal documents including technical, cost, and schedule estimates.
Execute technology roadmaps and benchmark plans through product releases.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree and 8+ years’ experience in RF/Microwave or electronics design.
Demonstrated ability to lead full signal‑chain design in cross‑functional settings.
RF/Microwave design experience, including chain analysis, circuit/system modeling, and product integration & test (millimeter‑wave preferred).
Proficiency with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, power supplies, and automated test instrumentation.
Familiarity with power and signal‑integrity design for mixed‑signal hardware.
Adaptability to evolving design and prototyping environments.
Strong communication, judgment, and teamwork skills.
US Citizen with ability to obtain a government security clearance.
Preferred
Experience with microwave design tools such as Microwave Office, ADS + Genesys.
Experience developing robust test plans and automated test fixtures, including Python scripting.
Strong problem‑solving, planning, organizational, and leadership abilities.
High‑speed data‑converter (DAC/ADC/transceiver) experience.
Benefits
Hybrid work model.
Compressed work week option (alternating regular week with four 10‑hour days).
Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), HSA, HCSA, DCSA.
Paid leave, vacation, disability, life insurance, employee assistance, tuition reimbursement, backup childcare, ESPP, bonus.
Compensation Expected wage range: $125,250 – $187,875. Actual offer varies based on location, experience, and internal equity.
