The role

You will take ownership of the end-to-end design, verification, and scaling of the flex cable interface. You will manage vendor partnerships and lead cross-functional engineering efforts to balance RF performance, mechanical reliability, and manufacturability.

What you will do

  • Drive the full lifecycle of flex interconnect systems from conceptualization through high-volume manufacturing.
  • Maintain high signal integrity and RF performance while ensuring mechanical reliability and thermal performance.
  • Work directly with external partners and suppliers to push boundaries of flex design and manufacturing.
  • Translate complex RF, mechanical, and system-level specs into technical requirements for vendors.
  • Own supplier development schedules to ensure critical components are delivered on time.
  • Drive internal project execution by setting schedule milestones and tracking deliverables.
  • Lead, mentor, and grow an engineering team dedicated to flex interconnect development and RF integration.

Required qualifications

  • 4+ years of hands-on experience in RF engineering, signal integrity, or high-frequency interconnect design (e.g., flex circuits, rigid-flex, micro-coaxial interfaces).
  • Deep hands-on experience with standard RF simulation software (HFSS, CST, ADS, or equivalent).
  • Deep hands-on experience with RF measurement equipment (VNAs, Spectrum Analysers, TDR).
  • Demonstrated success leading hardware or R&D engineering projects from initial concept through verification to volume production.
  • Direct experience managing external vendors, JDM partners, or component suppliers to deliver complex custom electro-mechanical parts.
  • Exceptional communication and alignment skills to direct and influence multi-disciplinary teams.

Nice to have

  • Experience designing hardware for superconducting circuits and cryogenic environments

Benefits

  • Competitive salary
  • 8% holiday allowance
  • Pension plan that includes partner and dependent coverage
  • Hybrid setup
  • Open vacation policy
  • L&D budget available to each team member
  • Team events and offsites

Before you apply

  • Candidates may be required to undergo pre-employment screening.
