Primary Responsibilities

• Design integrated passive devices such as filters, multiplexers, couplers, and baluns.
• Design substrate integrated waveguide components, including filters, transitions, packages, and antennas.
• Design high-frequency interposers for MMICs, including internal matching and transmission lines.
• Perform circuit and electromagnetic simulations, including advanced optimization and tuning techniques. Desired experience with multi-technology assembly and circuit-EM co-simulation.
• Engage with customers to understand their requirements and provide expert guidance on microwave solutions.
• Create test procedures, technical white papers, and participate in technical proposal writing.
• Interface with manufacturing to ensure new designs meet design rules and achieve good performance, yields, and reliability.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and technicians.
• Help establish technology roadmap and lead key internal development projects.
  
• Perform additional functions and other duties as assigned or required.

Requirements

• Master's degree in electrical engineering or related field, or PhD preferred
