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

As a Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer (RF Design), you will join the Product Support Engineering team to support military communication products from pre-release through obsolescence. You will investigate complex RF, analog, digital, and assembly issues by collaborating with cross-functional teams to diagnose problems to the component level using simulation and experimentation. Your daily responsibilities include mitigating component shortages, improving test yields, ensuring manufacturability, and leading technical investigations while providing guidance to junior staff. The role requires proficiency in ADS, Matlab, LabVIEW, Jira, and MS Office, alongside hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, DMMs, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators. You will solve critical hardware challenges involving tactical radio and power amplifier hardware. This position requires a technical expert capable of performing root cause analysis and implementing corrective actions to ensure successful product launches into full rate production.

What you'll do

  • Troubleshoot RF/Analog boards and modules to the component level using lab equipment like oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers.
  • Investigate root causes of assembly, SMT, and test-related issues during product development and production.
  • Mitigate component shortages by qualifying alternatives or redesigning circuits and sub-assemblies.
  • Implement design, process, and test improvements to increase manufacturing yields and product quality.
  • Collaborate with design engineering to transition new products into full-rate production.
  • Manage the lifecycle of components to mitigate obsolescence issues.
  • Provide technical guidance and lead investigations for junior staff members.
  • Deliver technical presentations to management regarding investigations, improvements, and cost savings.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree with 6 years of experience, a graduate degree with 4 years of experience, or 10 years of RF experience without a degree.
  • At least 4 years of RF experience.
  • Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance (must be a U.S. citizen).
  • Proficiency in designing and analyzing circuits using ADS, Matlab, and other simulation tools.
  • Experience troubleshooting hardware including analog and RF components to the component level (preferred).
  • Experience with tactical Radio and Power Amplifier hardware (preferred).
  • Working knowledge of LabVIEW, ADS, and Jira (preferred).
  • Advanced proficiency in MS Office for spreadsheet manipulation and presentation creation (preferred).
