As our Senior RF/Microwave Design Engineer, your job is to develop the world's next generation of RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave circuit and system designs, supporting applications ranging from quantum computing to deep space, aerospace, defense, and advanced test systems. Here’s What You’ll Be Doing: Architecting, designing, developing, building, and testing RF and microwave solutions for next-generation aerospace, space, defense, test, and quantum computing systems. Designing and developing solutions ranging from modules and circuit cards to subsystems and systems operating to 50 GHz and beyond. Designing DROs (Dielectric Resonator Oscillators), crystal oscillators, extremely low-noise time/frequency sources, LNAs (Low Noise Amplifiers), amplifiers, filters, frequency mixers, frequency multipliers, PLLs, up/down converters, synthesizers, reference generators, IMAs (Integrated Microwave Assemblies), and subassemblies. Working with leading aerospace, space, defense, test, and quantum computing customers to understand needs and requirements and decompose them into product architecture, design, and performance specifications. Architecting solutions, creating block diagrams, developing compliance matrices, designing circuits, supporting PCB layout and hardware builds, and leading testing, debugging, integration, and verification/validation. Working with a small engineering and development team focused on delivering high-performing RF/microwave products. Leading and/or supporting customer SRRs (System Requirements Reviews), PDRs (Preliminary Design Reviews), CDRs (Critical Design Reviews), and TRRs (Test Readiness Reviews). Ensuring final verification and validation of designs and successful delivery of customer requirements. Testing, debugging, troubleshooting, performing root cause analysis, and implementing corrective actions. Developing and documenting procedures and processes to ensure compliance with applicable standards. Developing project plans and managing work to cost and schedule. Participating in and staying current with RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave industry trends, technologies, and breakthroughs. What We’re Looking for in Our Senior RF/Electronics Design Engineer: Minimum BSEE or equivalent; MSEE or equivalent preferred. Minimum of 5 years of experience in RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave design and development, with the ability to design with minimal direction. Extensive experience with RF/microwave circuits, subsystems, and systems. Experience with RF chain analysis. Experience with RF/microwave test equipment, processes, test procedures, testing, and debug. Experience designing military, aerospace, or space-grade hardware. Experience with EMI/EMC analysis and practices and IPC standards. Exposure to RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave manufacturing technologies, including chip and wire, SMT, hybrids, die attach, wire bonding, and hermetic versus non-hermetic modules for IMAs/MICs. Experience with PCB layouts, including tools such as Altium. Experience with requirements/specification management and decomposition. Experience converting customer needs and requirements into successfully delivered solutions on time and within budget. Experience leading small engineering and development teams. Experience managing projects to schedule and cost. Experience with Microsoft Office Suite and Atlassian Jira/Confluence. Skills & Qualifications You Need: RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave design, development, test, and debug. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Self-motivated, multitasking, and detail-oriented. Strong prioritization skills and the ability to thrive in high-pressure situations. Collaborative approach and strong logical problem-solving skills, with the ability to tackle customer challenges. Strong ethical standards. Ability to lead small engineering and development teams and work effectively across functions. #J-18808-Ljbffr Engtal
