About The Position

As an Advanced RF/Antenna Engineer, you will own complex, board-level RF circuit and antenna designs from initial architecture and simulation through lab debugging, regulatory compliance, and global factory bring-up. You will design transmitters, receivers, and antennas in the 800 MHz to 8 GHz range. This hands-on role offers the opportunity to innovate in location technology and generate patents. The position requires working at least three days per week in Long Island, with two days remote in the United States.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree and at least 5 years of experience, or a master's degree and at least 4 years of experience.
Experience with board-level RF circuit design.
RF impedance-matching experience and understanding of the Smith Chart for RF design.
Experience with antenna design and measurements.
Familiarity with VNAs, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and RF power meters.
Some design experience with Class A/AB power amplifiers up to 5 W.
Ability to work hands-on with testing, troubleshooting, matching, and soldering.
Experience with RF simulation software such as ADS or CST.
