About The Position

The RF Engineer supports production of complex multifunction modules for high-reliability applications across all phases of the product life cycle. The role addresses complex technical problems, develops innovative solutions, and independently identifies and resolves issues associated with implementing operational products. It troubleshoots designs and resolves integration issues in production or manufacturing environments, using hands-on hardware experience for RF engineering tasks. The engineer uses RF microwave test equipment for testing and validation and microwave simulation tools for design and analysis. The work involves RF subsystems and hardware such as antennas, transmitters, receivers, microwave components, low-noise and high-power amplifiers, amplifiers, mixers, switches, and frequency generation and conversion circuits. The role also develops technical documentation, including specifications, schematic drawings, and test data, and leads investigations into production or technical failures.
