Electromagnetic Engineer In MACOM's MMIC Business Unit we design MMICs and IMAs for cellular, aerospace & defense, and other wireless applications. We are looking for a microwave electromagnetic engineer for the mmWave module design team at MACOM’s Northampton, MA Center of Excellence with experience designing passives such as power combiners, couplers, waveguide launches, non-reciprocal ferrite devices, and antenna products. Experience with active microwave circuits is a plus.
Be responsible for the electromagnetic design, layout, test, and release of RF/MMW products and functional components of IMAs.
Design customized versions of circulators, couplers, isolators, power divider/combiners, attenuators, phase shifters, and terminations in waveguide, microstrip, stripline, or other distributed transmission line systems.
Support design of industry leading solid state power amplifiers using high performance combiner/divider networks.
Design transitions to/from waveguide, microstrip, stripline, coplanar waveguide, twisted pair, coaxial, and twin lead.
Execute schematic circuit simulations and EM simulations where appropriate.
Generate layouts and assembly drawings.
Work with MMIC design, analog/digital design, mechanical design, assembly, and test teams to develop new products and new production methods.
Initiate prototype builds and manage product characterization. Design evaluation hardware and characterization fixtures, then direct or perform measurements.
Deep mathematical and data analysis/data science using tools such as MATLAB, Python, Scilab, R, or JMP.
Generate test plans and work instructions in collaboration with Operations, Product Engineering, Test Engineering, and Applications Engineering.
Generate design reports, progress reports, test reports, data sheets, and bills of material.
Organize design reviews.
Cooperate with the Project Manager to maintain an up-to-date project plan and schedule.
Work with Product Engineering to transfer the product to production.
Maintain a passion for the latest advances in Maxwell’s equations, electromagnetic design, RF/MMW 3D structures, simulation, materials, technology, and implementation.
Keep up to date with the latest technologies (semiconductor, conductivities, and other parameters of new metals, assembly, packaging, tools).
Customer support (sampling and application notes).
Qualifications
B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent. M.S. in Electrical Engineering preferred.
Strong academic background that includes courses such as Microwave Engineering, Electromagnetic Theory, and Antenna Theory.
Bona fide electronics and microwave structure enthusiast.
Familiarity with RF/MMW IMA design techniques.
Proficiency with EM simulation tools such as HFSS, COMSOL, EMPro, or WIPL-D (HFSS preferred).
Proficiency with RF simulation tools such as MWO or ADS (ADS preferred).
Unparalleled time‑management skills and a strong desire to work across multiple managers with competing priorities and conflicting deadlines.
Familiarity with RF system simulation tools (such as Genesys or SystemVue).
Familiarity with embedded digital design toolchains for microcontrollers and FPGA’s (such as Atmel, Xilinx).
Familiarity with SPICE simulation tools.
Familiarity with PCB layout tools such as Altium, PADS, or KiCAD.
Familiarity with RF measurement techniques for small‑signal and large‑signal characterization of amplifiers: bench calibration, S‑parameters, 1‑tone and 2‑tone power sweep measurements, pulsed measurements.
Good communication, organization, and documentation skills.
Strong Excel, Word, and PowerPoint skills.
Strong interpersonal skills and ability to build long‑lasting partnerships.
Ability to work in a fast‑paced environment.
Willingness to travel occasionally.
Fluent in spoken and written English.
Due to ITAR regulations, only candidates who are U.S. Persons will be considered for this position.
Salary Range The salary range for this position is $59,000 - $96,000. Actual salary offered to candidates will depend on several factors, including but not limited to location, experience, education, and specific knowledge, skills, and abilities.
