Working cross-functionally with RF, antenna, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and systems engineering teams, this role supports RF engineering activities from concept development through product qualification.
JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES- Assist with the design and development of RF circuits, transceivers, receivers, transmitters, amplifiers, filters, and microwave components.
- Perform RF analyses, circuit simulations, link budget calculations, impedance matching, frequency planning, and performance evaluations.
- Review engineering requirements, RF specifications, simulation results, and technical documentation supporting RF design readiness.
- Perform RF verification, qualification, validation, and troubleshooting activities.
- Analyze RF measurements, simulation data, laboratory results, and engineering observations to identify trends and recommend solutions.
- Support root cause investigations, engineering changes, corrective actions, and RF performance improvements.
- Collaborate with RF, antenna, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and systems engineering teams supporting RF product development.
- Develop engineering reports, simulation documentation, RF measurement reports, and engineering change documentation.
- Participate in design reviews, engineering investigations, product integration, and qualification activities.
- Review RF engineering methods, simulation practices, and development processes to identify opportunities for improvement.
- Apply RF engineering methodologies, industry standards, company procedures, and customer requirements throughout product development.
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance RF performance, engineering efficiency, reliability, and quality.
JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS- A Bachelor of Science (BS) or Master of Science (MS) degree in Electrical Engineering (EE) from an accredited university or institution.
- 2+ years of industry experience in design and analysis of RF electronics design, analysis, test, and troubleshooting.
- Experience with professional simulation tools such as CST and ADS, as well as EDA tools such Altium.
- Hands-on experience with lab instruments such as vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and oscilloscopes.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE- Experience with MATLAB or other programming languages.
- Experience in aerospace electronics design, development, and qualification.
- Knowledge of worst-case circuit analysis, failure method and criticality analyses, and reliability analysis.
- Experience with antenna design.
- Knowledge of EMI/EMC design and mitigation techniques.
