TL;DR · RF Design Engineer

The RF Design Engineer joins the RF Site Hardware team to develop and maintain sophisticated communications, infrastructure, and networking products for mission-critical and commercial markets. This role involves designing, modeling, and testing radio frequency transmitters and receiver circuit subsystems, specifically focusing on power amplifiers, receivers, VCOs, and PLLs. The initial assignment involves developing RF circuits for next-generation infrastructure products operating in the VHF through 900 MHz bands, while also supporting legacy products. Candidates must possess a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering and experience with RF circuit theory, communication theory, and simulation tools like ADS. Required technical skills include Cadence Allegro Design Entry HDL and PCB Layout Editor. The role requires hands-on building, debugging, and troubleshooting of circuits within a multi-disciplinary engineering environment.

What you'll do

  • Develop, design, model, and test radio frequency transmitter and receiver circuit subsystems.
  • Design and test power amplifiers, receivers, VCOs, and PLLs.
  • Develop RF circuits for next-generation infrastructure products operating in the VHF through 900 MHz bands.
  • Troubleshoot and support field issues or end-of-life components for legacy RF circuits.
  • Perform hands-on building and debugging of electronic circuits.
  • Work with suppliers and the factory during the project development phase.
  • Manage multiple concurrent design projects from inception to completion.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering.
  • Knowledge of RF circuit theory, basic power amplifier knowledge, and communication theory.
  • Experience designing, developing, and testing power amplifiers, receivers, VCO’s, and PLL’s.
  • Ability to perform hands-on building and debugging of circuits.
  • Strong background in RF circuit theory and simulation tools such as ADS (preferred).
