The Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer (RF Design) joins the Product Support Engineering team to support military communication products from pre-release to obsolescence. This role involves investigating RF, analog, digital, assembly, SMT, and test-related problems by collaborating across multifunctional teams. You will diagnose issues to the component level, perform root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions through simulation and experimentation. Key responsibilities include mitigating component shortages, improving test yields, and ensuring manufacturability for volume production. You will utilize ADS, Matlab, LabVIEW, Jira, and MS Office while operating equipment like oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators. The work focuses on troubleshooting tactical radio and power amplifier hardware, managing circuit changes during product launches, and providing technical guidance to junior staff to ensure high-quality production and reliable performance.
Troubleshoot units, modules, and boards to the component level for RF, analog, and digital issues.
Conduct root cause analysis and engineering experiments to determine solutions for hardware problems.
Mitigate component shortages by qualifying alternatives or redesigning circuits and sub-assemblies.
Design and analyze circuits and components using ADS, Matlab, and other simulation tools.
Implement design, process, and test improvements to increase production yields and product quality.
Coordinate with manufacturing and design teams to introduce new designs into full-rate production.
Provide technical guidance and lead investigations for junior staff members.
Use lab equipment like oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators to validate performance.
