Lead RF Electrical Engineer

Cynet Systems•Yorba Linda, CA

3h•Onsite

About The Position

As a Lead Electrical Engineer, the candidate must have experience with L band RF systems, able to work from customer requirements to derive additional requirements, define the architecture of a possible solution based on requirements, setup a requirements schema and link requirements to documents (systems/subsystem specification, hardware/RF architecture description document, etc.) and flow down applicable requirements to other groups (software, ASIC, and test) so that they can contribute to realize the end solution based on the proposed architecture. The Lead Electrical Engineer will also oversee the development of a qualification test plan that will ensure that the architecture and solution satisfy the customers' requirements. The Lead Electrical Engineer will also work with subject matter experts in the areas of GPS signal processing, anti-jam signal processing, other hardware design team members, control software, and government qualification standards. As a Lead Electrical Engineer, the candidate is expected to understand each aspect of the technology used in the proposed solution. The Lead Electrical Engineer also must work with the cost account manager, program management, and project management to develop the solution within the program's budget and schedule. The candidate will be designing, developing, modifying, evaluating and integrating RF/Wireless, electronic parts, components, or integrated circuitry for complex, high performance hardware systems.
