An exciting opportunity exists for an experienced Senior RF Module Design/Development Engineer to join our Module Development Section within the RF Microelectronics/Module Development & Foundry Services (RFMicro) Department. The RFMicro department designs, fabricates, and tests state-of-the-art Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) in our on-site foundry. These chips are designed into custom modules to support multiple programs and enhance the capabilities of next generation radar systems. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing power combining structures, capabilities and transitions for RF/microwave modules containing GaAs- and GaN-based MMIC products. This would be in active support of existing technologies in production as well as next-generation products in development. This position requires a strong academic background and experience in RF/Microwave Design, Development, Integration & Test.

Designing RF structures and transitions on multi-layer, multi-channel RF Modules and analog circuitry enabling both receive and transmit behavior. 3D electromagnetic simulations of power combining and other RF structures. Troubleshooting RF Modules that are prototyped and under development. Collaborating across RF module design, MMIC design and assembly teams Qualifications You Must Have: BS degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) Field. Five (5) or more years of relevant experience (An advanced STEM degree could count for 3 years of experience) in Microwave/RF module, subsystem and component analysis, design, and test. Hands-on experience with electromagnetic simulation tools such as HFSS, ADS, CST. The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance. U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance Qualifications We Prefer: A Master’s degree or PhD. in a Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) Field. Experience in module/sub-system assembly & packaging process. Experience in thermal modeling and analysis. Experience of different topology trade-offs, process and active/passive component selection, system/sub-system level, gain-loss analysis and flowing down requirements from the system to the component level. Layout experience in Mentor Graphics’ Xpedition, Cadence Virtuoso or AutoCAD. Experience with analytical tools such as Matlab, Python, or JMP. Understanding of allocating and flowing down requirements from the system to the component level. Experience in a production environment. Experience with microwave testing techniques, including using spectrum analyzers, Real-time Spectrum Analyzers (RSAs), Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) and Performance Network Analyzer (PNAs). Experience with GaAs and/or GaN MMIC devices. Experience leading teams and/or projects.
