Engineer II – Radio Frequency

We are seeking a technically proficient Engineer II – Radio Frequency to contribute to the design, development, and testing of radar subsystems and systems building blocks by applying RF engineering expertise in circuit design, system integration, and performance analysis. The Engineer II will support cross-functional teams in building advanced radar solutions. Strong communication skills and technical documentation abilities are key for success in this role.

Responsibilities

• Be responsible for the hands-on design and realization of RF passive and active circuits used in phased array antennas, large RF systems, and other RF components.
• Design and test circuits for receivers, transmitters, local oscillators, and RF subsystems.
• Simulate circuit and system performance using analytical software such as AWR Microwave Office, VSS, Ansys, CST, and MATLAB.
• Collaborate with other engineers and technicians to realize completed RF electronics and RF designs.
• Participate and guide the testing of RF hardware for required performance metrics in antenna and phased array systems: VSWR, insertion loss, power, G/T, etc.
• Test components (e.g. amplifiers, mixers, limiters, oscillators) for suitability in designs.
• Design circuit boards for use in receivers and transmitters.
• Design chip and wire components for use in receivers, high-power limiters, and transmitters.
• Test and document designs in preparation for potential production.
• Mentor and guide more junior engineers and technicians in the design, build, and test phases of projects and programs.
• Provide technical solutions to a wide range of difficult problems.
• Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.

Requirements

• A minimum of 5-7 years of experience in the field of Electromagnetics and Radio Frequency Systems.
• Bachelor degree or higher in Engineering or a related technical field is required.
• Requires full competency in core RF engineering and antenna theory with skills and general knowledge of other related disciplines.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Ability to assist with the preparation and delivery of presentations.
• Experience and skills to effectively contribute to successful manufacture of designs and to cost, budget, and schedule control.
• Some exposure and experience with the radiating components/antennas that are typically used in phased array systems.
• Experience and proficiency in programming, data manipulation, and data visualization in MATLAB.
• Must be able to schedule and execute measurements at internal and external facilities; perform measurement analysis and troubleshooting.
• Experience with RF test equipment (including RF signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers).
• Demonstrated ability to apply technical expertise in RF engineering and to leverage knowledge of other related disciplines.
• Demonstrated ability to lead RF efforts and tasks and to guide technical project teams toward the completion of program goals and milestones.
