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
