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

As a Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer (RF Design) within the Product Support Engineering team, you will investigate complex problems related to RF/Analog circuitry, assembly, SMT, and test. You will lead and mentor junior engineers, serving as the primary technical authority for radio transmitter and receiver design. Your daily responsibilities include troubleshooting units to the component level, conducting engineering experiments, and designing out obsolete components. You will utilize ADS, Matlab, Jira, and LabVIEW to perform circuit analysis and simulations. Additionally, you will use oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators to reconcile model differences with bench measurements. This role focuses on mitigating component shortages, improving product performance, and ensuring that hardware designs meet strict technical specifications and industry standards for tactical radio and power amplifier hardware.

What you'll do

  • Troubleshoot RF and analog circuitry, modules, and assemblies down to the component level.
  • Design and analyze circuits and components using ADS, Matlab, and other simulation tools.
  • Lead and mentor junior engineers on simulations, bench measurements, and problem-solving tasks.
  • Mitigate component shortages by qualifying alternatives or redesigning circuits and sub-assemblies.
  • Coordinate with manufacturing teams to introduce new designs and implement circuit changes for product launches.
  • Conduct engineering experiments and implement corrective actions based on test results.
  • Improve product performance and cost-efficiency while documenting design tradeoffs and risks.
  • Use lab equipment including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators to validate designs.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 7 years of prior relevant experience.
  • Graduate Degree and a minimum of 9 years of prior related experience.
  • Minimum of 11 years of prior related experience in lieu of a degree.
  • High-level RF knowledge with experience in design and troubleshooting.
  • Ability to obtain a US Security Clearance.
  • Electrical engineering degree (preferred).
  • Experience with tactical Radio and Power Amplifier HW (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
