About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 10 years of RF hardware design experience and a track record of products shipped to volume.
  • Deep expertise across VHF, UHF, and SHF.
  • Demonstrated design ownership of mixers and high-power amplifiers above 10 W.
  • Strong command of RF simulation tools, including electromagnetic and circuit solvers such as ADS, AWR, HFSS, and CST, and the judgment to evaluate simulation results.
  • Experience with multi-layer RF printed circuit board design, including controlled impedance, material selection, grounding, isolation, and thermal management.
  • Proficiency with vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and power measurement, with the ability to debug from first principles.
  • Proven technical leadership of a design group, including setting direction and standards, mentoring, and running rigorous design reviews.
  • A degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, or equivalent.

Responsibilities

  • Own RF front-end architecture from VHF through SHF, including link budgets, frequency planning, spurious and intermodulation analysis, and sensitivity and dynamic-range trade-offs.
  • Design and characterize mixers, high-power amplifiers, filters, and switching networks against linearity, efficiency, and thermal targets.
  • Drive board-level electromagnetic, circuit, and co-simulation; take designs through multi-layer RF printed circuit board layout, stack-up definition, and fabrication release.
  • Lead bring-up, characterization, and design-for-test, and close the loop between simulated and measured performance.
  • Set and enforce RF design standards, review checklists, and documentation practices across the group.
  • Mentor RF hardware engineers and antenna designers, raising technical capability through design reviews.
  • Partner with digital signal processing, software, mechanical, and systems engineering, and regulatory/compliance teams on CE, FCC, and MIL-STD qualification.
  • Advise leadership on technology direction, build-versus-buy decisions, and technical risk.

Desired Qualifications

  • Antenna design and integration, including element and array design, platform effects, and radiation-pattern measurement.
  • Direction-finding techniques, including amplitude/phase comparison, interferometry, time difference of arrival, and angle-of-arrival estimation.
  • Beamforming approaches including analog, digital, and hybrid methods; phased arrays; and adaptive/null-steering methods.
  • Hands-on experience with software-defined radio platforms.
  • Experience developing and qualifying products for regulated markets, including CE, FCC, and/or MIL-STD.
  • Working knowledge of digital signal processing concepts sufficient to make functionality trade-offs between analog and digital domains.
