Engineer - 6G RF Packaging

huaweicanada; Ottawa; On-site; CAD 106,000 - 156,000; Full time

Job summary

Huawei Canada in Ottawa is seeking an Engineer to advance RF/microwave packaging and integration, collaborating with RFIC, antenna, materials, and manufacturing specialists.

The role emphasizes 2.5D/3D integration, die-to-die interfaces, thermal management, and full-wave simulations to quantify loss, noise, and reliability, with opportunities to publish papers.

Candidates should have a PhD or equivalent R&D experience, 5 years in the field, and hands-on lab skills including VNAs and test vehicles.

Qualifications

• 5 years of relevant industry experience.
• PhD in Electrical Engineering or RF/Microwave related field (or equivalent R&D experience).
• Deep knowledge of RF/microwave principles.
• Experience with full-wave EM and circuit simulations to model packages and correlate with measurements.
• Hands-on experience designing test vehicles and directing microelectronics assembly (PCB, flip-chip, wire bonding, SMT, molding).
• Proficiency with RF lab equipment (VNAs, probe station).
• Working knowledge of thermal management and reliability testing.

Responsibilities

• Explore 2.5D/3D integration, wafer-level packaging, diverse interposors, and embedded passives.
• Study low-loss die-to-die and die-to-package interfaces, including micro-bumps, vias, and waveguide structures.
• Develop embedded shielding, isolation structures, and localized cooling for high-power RF arrays.
• Investigate additively manufactured RF structures and engineered materials for prototyping advantages.
• Perform full-wave EM simulations to quantify interconnect loss, leakage, coupling, and noise.
• Design package transitions, antenna feeds, and grounding networks across die, substrate, and board boundaries.
• Coordinate VNA, thermal, and OTA array measurements to evaluate system-level package performance.
• Partner with internal specialists (RFIC, antenna, materials, manufacturing) to frame cross-disciplinary research.
• Secure patents and invention disclosures while publishing papers and internal technical reports.
