About the role

  • Technical ownership of RF module design and development projects from inception to production release; meeting technical performance, schedule and cost goals for NPI (New Product Introduction)
  • Performing circuit level design of RF sub-systems, EM simulations, impedance matching circuits, chain analysis including investigation of variations etc. of RF modules to ensure first pass success of designs
  • Support preparation of technical proposals to customers
  • Work closely with project managers to make sure key project milestones are met
  • Prepare and own internal documentation related to design, prepare and present various technical and project reviews internally and to external customers
  • Working closely with test engineering personnel to characterize prototypes and product samples, and lead design optimization for performance, yield, reliability and cost

Requirements

  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Physics with a focus on RF Design/Electromagnetics
  • 10+ years of RF module design experience required
  • Solid understanding of fundamentals of RF/Microwave module design including circuit and electromagnetics level simulations
  • Good understanding of radio systems and building blocks such as LNAs, PA's, RF switches, attenuators, filters etc.
  • Require very good working knowledge of RF simulation tools such as Keysight ADS, HFSS, AWR (desired)
  • Familiarity with multilayer laminate/PCB layout
  • Very good theoretical understanding and industry and/or academic hands-on experience with impedance matching techniques and matching circuit design, implementation and test bench level tuning
  • Ability to create 3D circuit models using EM tools and run simulations on RF/Microwave structures and translate between the model, simulation, physical implementation, and measured performance required
  • Good working knowledge of RF test techniques for noise, s-parameters, linearity and lab equipment such as Vector Network Analyzer, Spectrum Analyzer, Oscilloscopes etc.
  • Experience with IPD (Integrated Passive Device) die design for implementing baluns, couplers etc.
  • Working knowledge of multi-chip module (MCM) packaging processes - soldering, wire bonding, die attach, thermal management etc. (desired)
  • Previous experience with passive RF components - filters, couplers etc. - desired
  • Understanding of MMIC technologies such as GaAs, RF SOI, GaN desired
  • Exposure to MMIC design highly desired
  • Previous experience with high rejection/high isolation filter design and implementation is highly desired
  • Programming experience with Python and/or Matlab especially for Machine Learning highly desired
  • Must be an excellent results-driven team player, have willingness and ability to learn new skills and technologies
  • Good written and oral communication skills required
  • Ability to work effectively and efficiently across diverse engineering, product management, marketing and manufacturing teams.
Benefits
  • Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer
