Senior RF Design Engineer, EW

The role

The Senior RF Design Engineer will model, simulate, design, test, and optimize active and passive RF and/or mixed signal circuits. This role involves developing RF system requirements, selecting components, and performing board bring up and circuit optimizations.

What you will do

• Modeling, simulation, analysis, design, test, and optimization of active and passive RF and/or mixed signal circuits.
• Assist with RF system and/or subsystem requirement development and feasibility studies.
• Select and characterize components, generate schematics, and work closely with PCB layout.
• Board bring up, test, and circuit optimizations.
• Develop circuit verification test plans and assist with testing.

Required qualifications

• B.S. Electrical Engineering or equivalent
• 6+ years experience
• Experience with RF cascade analyses, component selection, and component evaluations.
• Experience with RF front end circuit designs like receivers, transmitters, gain control, and power control.
• Experience and expertise with off the shelf discrete RF components like low noise amplifiers, filters, mixers, phase locked loops (PLLs) / synthesizers, oscillators, general purpose amplifiers, variab
• Experience with schematic capture and guiding PCB layout.
• Experience with board bring up, test, and optimization.
• Experience with test plan development and test execution.
• Experience developing circuit models and simulations using tools like Ansys Electronics Desktop (Nexxim, SiWave) and Cadence AWR Microwave Office.
• Significant experience and expertise with test equipment like vector network analyzers (VNAs), spectrum analyzers, signal generators, power meters, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and power supplies.
• Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret security clearance
