Senior RF Hardware Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design RF electronics hardware for next generation products, and iterate on existing hardware to improve reliability, performance, and manufacturability
• Create electromagnetic simulation models of hardware (amplifiers, filters, PCB layout) to design and evaluate performance
• Build RF circuits (LNA’s, filters, power amplifiers) as well as support circuitry (power, digital control), and characterize their performance
• Collaborate with hardware and software engineers to characterize and troubleshoot integrated RF system performance

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related engineering discipline
• 5+ years of RF design experience, across circuits, filters, or antennas

Preferred Qualifications:

• RF line-up design, considering non-linearity, noise, output power, and blocker/jammer tolerance
• Power amplifier, LNA, and filter design
• Experience with design and bring-up of point of load converters and common digital interfaces such as I2C/SPI
• Theory and testing related to EVM, Noise Figure, power handling metrics (IIP2, IMD), impedance matching, amplifier stability, and cascaded network analysis
• Use of Python (or other language) for data analysis and test automation

Additional Requirements:

• This position requires successfully obtaining and maintaining a Top Secret Security Clearance as a condition of employment.
• You must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed.

Pay

• RF Hardware/Level 3: $140,000-$175,000
• RF Hardware/Level 4: $152,000-$190,000
• RF Hardware/Level 5: $180,000-$226,000
