TL;DR · Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer (RF Design)

Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer (RF Design) joins the Product Support Engineering team to address complex issues involving RF/Analog circuitry, assembly, SMT, and testing. This role involves troubleshooting units and modules to the component level, performing simulations, and conducting experiments to resolve technical problems while ensuring products meet performance specifications and industry standards. The engineer will collaborate with design and manufacturing teams to mitigate component shortages by qualifying alternatives or redesigning circuits, and they will mentor junior staff on simulation techniques and bench measurements. Key technical requirements include proficiency in ADS, Matlab, LabVIEW, and Jira, alongside experience using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators. The role focuses on the technical challenges of radio transmitter and receiver design, specifically addressing hardware reliability, cost improvements, and the integration of new designs into manufacturing processes.

What you'll do

  • Troubleshoot RF and analog circuitry to the component level to identify and resolve hardware failures.
  • Conduct engineering experiments and use lab equipment like spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes to validate results.
  • Perform circuit analysis and simulations using tools such as ADS and Matlab.
  • Mitigate component shortages by qualifying alternatives or redesigning circuits and sub-assemblies.
  • Lead, mentor, and train junior engineers on simulation techniques and bench measurements.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing teams to transition new designs into production.
  • Implement design changes to improve product performance and reduce manufacturing costs.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree and 7 years of experience, a graduate degree and 9 years of experience, or no degree and 11 years of experience.
  • High-level RF knowledge with design and troubleshooting experience.
  • Ability to obtain a US Security Clearance.
  • Experience with tactical Radio and Power Amplifier HW (preferred).
  • Experience troubleshooting to component level (preferred).
  • Working knowledge of LabVIEW, ADS, and Jira (preferred).
  • Electrical engineering degree (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
