About The Position

Qorvo is seeking a Staff RF Power Management Systems Engineer to drive product definition and system architecture for next-generation RF power-management solutions used in radar, electronic warfare, satellite communications, aerospace, and high-performance communication systems. In this role, you will work at the intersection of RF power amplifiers, analog and mixed-signal ICs, power management, and embedded control. You will translate customer and market requirements into scalable product architectures, specifications, system models, and validation plans. The ideal candidate has experience with GaN or GaAs RF power-amplifier systems and understands the interaction between RF performance, device biasing, power delivery, sequencing, thermal behavior, protection, and system control.

Requirements

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 8+ years of experience or an equivalent amount of advanced education and experience.
• Strong systems engineering experience in RF power amplifiers, power management, analog/mixed-signal electronics, or related high-performance hardware
• Experience with GaN and/or GaAs RF systems, including PA biasing, power delivery, sequencing, protection, and transient behavior
• Proven ability to translate customer and system requirements into product specifications, architectures, tradeoff analyses, and validation plans
• Hands-on experience with system modeling, simulation, laboratory characterization, and cross-functional technical leadership

Nice To Haves

• Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field
• Experience supporting radar, electronic warfare, satellite communications, aerospace, phased-array, or other high-performance RF applications
• Experience with digital control interfaces, embedded systems, FPGA-based control, automated test environments, or software-defined system control
• Experience with high-speed power switching, pulsed power delivery, dynamic RF PA power management, or advanced bias-control architectures
• Familiarity with RF measurements such as output power, gain, efficiency, linearity, EVM, ACLR, harmonics, thermal behavior, and switching transients
• Experience developing evaluation boards, reference designs, system demos, or customer-facing application platforms
• Experience supporting products from early concept definition through qualification, production release, and customer adoption

Responsibilities

• Lead system-level product definition for RF power-management and bias-control solutions
• Translate customer, application, and market requirements into product specifications and system architectures
• Define requirements for RF PA biasing, power sequencing, monitoring, protection, pulsed operation, and system control
• Analyze interactions between RF power amplifiers, bias circuits, power supplies, control electronics, and thermal environments
• Develop system models and perform tradeoff analyses across efficiency, switching performance, RF performance, thermal behavior, size, and cost
• Work directly with customers and field teams to understand system challenges and identify broadly applicable product requirements
• Collaborate with product management, applications, RF engineering, IC design, validation, packaging, test, and manufacturing teams
• Define system-level validation strategies, evaluation platforms, reference designs, and application demonstrations
• Support technical feasibility studies, competitive assessments, product roadmaps, and business-case development
• Lead technical reviews and drive alignment from early concept definition through product validation and customer adoption
• Identify system risks early and recommend architecture, technology, or implementation changes to reduce development risk
• Create technical documentation, customer presentations, product requirements, system block diagrams, and validation plans
