Daily responsibilities include analyzing system requirements, performing RF simulations, conducting validation testing, and generating technical reports. The position requires functional knowledge of VHDL, MATLAB, and vendor-specific modeling, simulation, and FPGA logic tools for RF signal processing. Candidates should be proficient in MS Office and possess experience with RF test and measurement equipment. Specific technical expertise includes RF signal processing concepts, antenna design, EMI/EMC compliance, and potentially LabView or tools like ADS and HFSS for low power radar systems.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and test RF circuits and systems for high-reliability applications.
  • Analyze system requirements and propose technical solutions for mission-critical systems.
  • Perform RF simulations and validation testing using tools like ADS, HFSS, or MATLAB.
  • Generate technical reports and documentation as required for project milestones.
  • Support production activities and perform troubleshooting on the production floor.
  • Lead or support design reviews and present technical findings to stakeholders.
  • Ensure all designs comply with applicable standards and customer requirements.

What we're looking for

  • Must have a Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 4 years of relevant experience.
  • Must have a Graduate Degree and minimum 2 years of related experience.
  • Must have minimum 8 years of related experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Must have 4 years or more of experience with RF signal processing concepts and techniques.
  • Must have 4 years or more of experience with RF test and measurement equipment.
  • Must have functional knowledge of VHDL, MATLAB, or vendor-specific modeling, simulation, and FPGA logic tools.
  • Must be a US Citizen and able to obtain a DOD Secret Security Clearance.
  • Proficiency in MS Office and associated applications is required.
