Analog Circuit Designer-Power Supply/EPC

Mission Microwave Technologies was founded in 2014 to revolutionize the next generation of Solid-State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) and Block Upconverters (BUCs). We utilize advanced GaN transistors, unique power-combining technology, and innovative full-system designs to create the industry’s most efficient, lightweight, and compact high-power SSPAs. Our leadership team brings more than 100 years of combined experience delivering high-performance, high-reliability SSPAs to commercial, military, and space customers. Headquarters are located at 6060 Phyllis Drive, Cypress, CA 90630.

About the role

As an Analog Circuit Designer, you’ll lead the design, development, and optimization of AC-DC and DC-DC converters, filters, distribution, and monitor/control (M&C) boards that power revolutionary SSPAs and BUCs. Your work will enable high-efficiency, high-power RF systems for ground-based, airborne, and space-based applications. You’ll drive technical innovation, mentor engineering teams, and collaborate closely with customers, program managers, RF engineers, and manufacturing teams to ensure every design meets mission-critical performance, reliability, and regulatory standards.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, analysis, and optimization of AC-DC and DC-DC converters for RF/microwave systems with power consumption that may exceed 20 kW.
• Drive technical innovation using emerging semiconductor technologies for high-efficiency, high-power RF applications.
• Develop power distribution system architectures and technical specifications.
• Perform complex analog circuit design, simulation, and modeling using tools such as LTspice, LTpowerCAD, and LTpowerPlanner.
• Lead multidisciplinary engineering teams through complete product development lifecycles from concept to production.
• Conduct design reviews, risk assessments, and technical trade studies to ensure optimal solutions.
• Select components and ensure designs meet performance, reliability, and environmental requirements including MIL-STD and DO-160 EMI/EMC compliance.
• Support prototype development, testing, and qualification for space, airborne, and ground systems.
• Implement power electronics designs, including switching power supplies and DC-DC converters for RF systems.
• Generate and maintain documentation within version control and configuration management systems.
• Collaborate with customers and cross-functional teams to define technical requirements and system specifications.
• Interface with suppliers to ensure component reliability and obsolescence mitigation.
• Represent Mission Microwave at technical conferences, customer meetings, and industry forums.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers in analog design principles and best practices.
• Provide technical guidance on complex engineering challenges and design optimization.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence within the engineering organization.
• Ensure all designs comply with industry standards, regulations, and customer requirements.
• Support quality assurance activities including design verification and validation testing.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related field (MS/PhD preferred).
• 10+ years of experience in analog circuit design and power electronics development, with a strong track record of designing and producing power supplies.
• Proficient knowledge of analog circuit design principles and power distribution architectures.
• Extensive experience with analog simulation tools such as LTspice, LTpowerCAD, LTpowerPlanner, or similar platforms.
• Deep understanding of semiconductor technologies for power generation.
• Expert-level in switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, and thermal management for high-power RF systems.
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC design principles and aerospace regulatory compliance.
• Experience designing systems for aerospace, defense, or satellite communication applications.
• Familiarity with MIL-STD requirements, space qualification, and DO-160, MIL-STD-461 standards.
• Understanding of SATCOM, radar, or electronic warfare system requirements.
• Strong leadership and mentorship skills with experience guiding engineering teams.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and technical writing skills.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Active security clearance or ability to obtain clearance preferred.
