Job description

Education: UG: B.Tech/B.E./Diploma in Electronics/Telecommunication, Electrical and Electronics, Aviation, Information Technology, Computers, Electrical

Experience: 1- 4 years

Position openings: 1

We are looking for a passionate and skilled RF Design Engineer to join our growing team working on cutting-edge wireless, defense, aerospace, satellite, and high-frequency embedded systems.

If you enjoy designing high-performance RF boards, solving complex signal integrity challenges, and building advanced embedded hardware platforms including FPGA-based systems, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop high-speed digital and mixed-signal electronics for embedded systems
• Design high-frequency RF PCBs for applications ranging from MHz to multi-GHz systems
• Work on FPGA-based and SDR-based hardware platforms and high-speed interface routing
• Design multilayer PCB stack-up planning using materials such as Rogers, RT/duroid, RO4350, RO3003, RT5880, and hybrid RF + FR4 structures
• Perform RF layout for impedance-controlled traces, microstrip, stripline, coplanar waveguide, and controlled high-speed routing
• Ensure proper grounding, shielding, isolation, EMI/EMC performance, thermal management, and signal integrity
• Design for power integrity, low-noise RF performance, and robust embedded system reliability
• Coordinate with fabrication and assembly vendors for DFM, DFA, and manufacturability optimization
• Support prototype bring-up, debugging, tuning, validation, and system integration
• Work closely with RF, FPGA, embedded, and hardware teams for complete product development
• Schematic design experience is an added advantage, but strong PCB design expertise is the primary requirement

Preferred Skills

• Experience with PCB design tools such as Cadence Allegro, Altium Designer, Kicad, OrCAD, or similar
• Understanding of EMI/EMC practices and complex mixed-signal hardware constraints
• Antenna design and simulation exposure (HFSS, CST, ADS – added advantage)
• Experience in RF PCB layout and stack-up design
• Experience with SDR platforms or satellite communication systems

Knowledge of hardware schematics design is an added advantage
