Senior RF Design & Test Engineer

What you'll do

• Design RF circuits and subsystems including front-ends, amplifiers, filters, and transceivers.
• Perform link budget analysis and system-level RF evaluations for receiver saturation and sensitivity trade-offs.
• Design and integrate antennas and antenna arrays while balancing performance against mechanical constraints.
• Conduct bench and chamber testing of RF hardware using VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators.
• Use 3D EM simulation tools to model and optimize RF and antenna performance via S-parameter analysis.
• Ensure all RF designs comply with military/commercial standards and manage spectrum authorization processes.
• Evaluate designs against SAR and military RF exposure limits to ensure regulatory compliance.
• Analyze multi-radio coexistence and desense issues to mitigate cross-band interference and antenna detuning.

What we're looking for

• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
• Experience designing and testing RF circuits, subsystems, and antenna arrays.
• Proficiency with 3D EM simulation software such as Ansys HFSS, Altair FEKO, or CST Studio Suite.
• Proficiency with RF bench equipment including VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators.
• Knowledge of GPS/GNSS receiver architectures, active antenna bias circuits, and mechanical interface design.
• Experience with multi-radio coexistence and desense analysis, including UWB emissions requirements.
• Familiarity with SAR and military RF exposure limits (e.g., MPE).
• Familiarity with military and commercial communication system compliance standards (preferred).
