Role Posting Log in to save

The BAW Device Engineer (Starlink/Akoustis) joins the Akoustis team to develop and improve bulk acoustic wave resonators for RF filter applications. This role focuses on enhancing the figure of merit for XBAW resonators using MEMS-based thin film transfer processes. The engineer will perform FEM simulations and experimental DOE to optimize resonator performance, improve process integration, and reduce cycle times for lean filter development. Key responsibilities include developing FEA setups in COMSOL and HFSS, generating resonator equivalent circuit models, and performing scientific and statistical analysis of RF test results. The position requires expertise in semiconductor devices, RF circuits, electromagnetics, and piezoelectric material synthesis. The work directly supports the technical development of high-performance RF filters for the Starlink satellite constellation and global internet network.
