Job description

The Senior RF Engineer will be responsible for definition and architecture of leading‑edge board level RF front‑end systems for our current and future 5G radio units. They will be responsible for the overall definition of RF front‐end requirements and implementation, where performance, power, size and cost are the key. The role spans the full development life‐cycle through specification, design, documentation, implementation, debugging and testing.

Educational and experience requirements:

A Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering or other relevant discipline and demonstrated experience within wireless technology and industry is required. Position and salary are highly dependent on experience.

Required qualifications: It is expected that candidates will have demonstrated some/all of the following competencies:

• Experience in RF design at both system and board level circuit design
• RF technical expertise in board level circuit analysis and design, including TX and RX chain line‑up, as well as complete RF front‑end design
• Supervision of schematic capture and layout design process for complex mixed‑RF PCBs
• Experience in Analog, Digital and Power Supply design
• Knowledge of 5G radio standards
• Ability to debug complex RF failures
• Ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering team is a must

Desired qualifications:

• Experience with leading‑edge RF Transceiver SoCs
• Knowledge of both LDMOS and GaN Power Amplifiers design and development for modern radio telecommunication systems with DPD and CFR

Responsibilities:

• Leading the design of new 4G/5G front‑end systems
• Analysing and producing the technical requirements and specifications and recommending design modifications for existing products improvements
• Active involvement in wide range of activities including RF circuits and systems simulation and design, schematics capture, PCB layout supervision, product bring‑up and debugging and Device Verification Test
• Preliminary compliance testing: EMC, FCC, RFI; system integration (SW, BB, HW) and supporting the thermal management and mechanical design of radio base stations
• Provide mechanical, test and conformance departments with technical support
• Debugging of RF performance in TX and RX chains
• PCB stack‑up definition for RF and mixed‑signal PCB designs
• Hands‑on experience in EDA software for electronic circuits (ADS, LTSpice, Matlab)
• Previous experience in mixed signal (high‑speed and RF) PCB design software (Altium Designer) will be a plus
