TL;DR · Senior Specialist, Radio Frequency Design Engineer

The Senior Specialist, Radio Frequency Design Engineer joins the Agile Development Group to support the design, simulation, development, and testing of RF circuits and antenna systems for radar systems and tactical military applications. This role involves performing RF and Microwave design synthesis from VHF through Ka-Band at the board or subsystem level. Key responsibilities include requirements analysis, specification generation, schematic capture, board layout, and developing test plans. The candidate must utilize 3D EM Simulation and Modeling, Schematic Capture, and Board Layout CAD tools, alongside equipment like Network Analyzers, Spectrum Analyzers, and Signal Generators. Proficiency in MatLab, AWR, CDS, HFSS, or CST is preferred. The work focuses on solving technical challenges for advanced Unmanned Air Systems, next-generation weapon systems, and other RF sensor technologies.

What you'll do

  • Perform RF and Microwave design synthesis from VHF through Ka-Band at the board or subsystem level.
  • Execute electrical design tasks including requirements analysis, specification generation, component selection, schematic capture, and board layout.
  • Conduct simulations, breadboarding, testing, and troubleshooting of RF circuits and subsystems.
  • Develop comprehensive test plans and procedures for RF subsystems.
  • Manage technical responsibility for schedule, cost, and performance at the board or subsystem level.
  • Participate in peer reviews, preliminary design reviews, and critical design reviews.
  • Apply practical RF system considerations such as path loss calculation, cascade noise figure, and intercept point.

What we're looking for

  • Active US secret security clearance.
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering and minimum 7-10 years of prior relevant experience.
  • Graduate Degree in Electrical Engineering and a minimum of 4 years of prior related experience (preferred).
  • Minimum of 10 years of prior related experience in lieu of a degree.
  • 4+ years of experience with RF and 3D EM Simulation and Modeling, Schematic Capture, and Board Layout CAD tools.
  • 4 years of experience with practical RF system considerations and 4 years of experience with basic RF test equipment.
  • 4 years of experience in printed circuit board (PCB) layout with direct board level design experience in RF or Microwave bands.
  • U.S. citizens.
