Senior RF Engineer

What You Will Be Doing

• Take technical ownership of critical wireless subsystems and drive their development from concept to mass production.
• Lead the end-to-end design, simulation, and layout of RF systems, from the antenna through the radio interface.
• Define and own all verification, validation, and production acceptance test procedures.
• Perform detailed system analysis, including link budgets and cascade analysis, to guarantee performance.
• Spearhead complex root cause analysis for issues like RF interference, desensitization, and connectivity problems.
• Propose, model, and validate RF architectural decisions and select critical components.
• Manage project timelines and delegate tasks to junior engineers to ensure on-time delivery.
• Serve as the primary RF point of contact for cross-functional teams, including mechanical, firmware, and software.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) required; Master of Science (MSEE) is highly preferred.
• 5+ years of professional experience in RF hardware design for commercial or industrial products.
• Proven expertise in using RF simulation software (e.g., ADS, HFSS) for PCB, antenna, and fixture design.
• In-depth knowledge of RF system architecture, radio standards, and component selection trade-offs.
• Demonstrated experience leading projects and mentoring other engineers.
• Strong understanding of design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for test (DFT).

Qualifications

• Advanced Degree: A Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) with a focus on RF/Microwaves or Electrometics is highly preferred.
• Experience in antenna design: Direct experience designing and simulating custom antennas for embedded systems is a plus.
• Manufacturing Experience: Proven experience with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT), and working directly with contract manufacturers (CMs) to ramp production is a plus.
• System Integration: Experience in debugging complex system-level issues, such as RF desensitization, coexistence, and EMI/EMC mitigation is a plus.
• Automated Testing: Proficiency in developing automated RF test frameworks using Python, or similar tools is a plus.
