About the role

  • Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team including mmWave antenna, electrical, RF component, and printed circuit board design engineers developing mmWave phased array prototype designs for emerging markets and applications
  • Model RF and mmWave components (mmWave transitions in printed circuit boards, connector matching networks, filters, tuning networks, and other structures) using AWR, CST, or HFSS
  • Design passive circuit components (power splitters/combiners, microstrip and stripline transmission lines, impedance transformers, etc) using AWR, CST, or HFSS
  • Collaborate with design teams to develop, manage, and finalize bill of material (BOM) lists and guide the design team on parts selection that support cost models and prototype schedules
  • Support test and troubleshooting of new mmWave phased array prototypes, including power supplies, control circuits, and RF/mmWave circuits
  • Perform power integrity analysis on mmWave printed circuit board phased array prototypes
  • Support hands on testing of RF and mmWave phased array antennas
  • Develop, maintain, and update cascaded system design tools to track linear and nonlinear RF, IF, and DC performance of mmWave phased array antenna prototypes using Qorvo IC's (formerly Anokiwave)
  • Assume design responsibilities (cost, performance, schedule) for major subsystems of printed circuit based mmWave phased array prototype designs
  • Interact with PCB manufacturers and assembly shops to produce prototype arrays
  • Develop scripts and automation to improve design and testing efficiency
  • Mentor and train junior staff to develop and expand their skills

Requirements

  • Prior design experience of RF/mmWave phased array antenna components
  • Experience using AWR, CST, and/or HFSS
  • Experience testing RF and mmWave circuits, coupons, and systems
  • Experience with scripting or programming with a language such as Python
  • Bachelor’s degree (BSEE or equivalent) with a minimum of twelve+ years’ experience
