The Senior RF Design Engineer joins the RF Engineering team to develop the RF subsystem for the StreamCaster MANET product line. This role involves designing antenna to baseband RF subsystems using discrete circuitry or highly integrated RFICs, including PLL, LNA, Mixers, and PAs. Key responsibilities include implementing and supervising schematic capture and PCB layout, performing RF performance characterization, tuning, and troubleshooting, and ensuring overall system EMI performance and regulatory compliance. The engineer will also address production yield problems and improve design for manufacturability. Required skills include multi-GHz RF hardware development, RF board layout, fabrication, and packaging knowledge. Candidates must be proficient with RF simulation tools such as AWR Microwave Office and Altium to solve complex EMI, harmonics, spurious, and stability issues within mission-critical mesh network communications.
