Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Electrical Hardware Engineer to design and development of sophisticated communication products for professional and mission-critical markets. This role focuses on developing high-performance RF sub-circuits that meet stringent regulatory and functional specifications. The Engineer will be instrumental in ensuring seamless production and supply continuity through robust design, rigorous debugging, and cross-functional collaboration. Hardware Engineer (RF & LMR Systems)

Key Responsibilities

• RF Hardware Development: Extensive experience in Electrical Engineering (EE) hardware development for Land Mobile Radio (LMR) based modems. This includes hands-on design and development of Transmitters, Frequency Generation Units (FGU) and Receiver circuits.
• Compliance & Certification: Experienced in troubleshooting RF performance issues arising from regulatory certification and conformance testing (e.g., ETSI, FCC, or P25 standards).
• Design Tools: Proficient in electronic design automation (EDA) software for schematic capture and PCB layout, with a strong preference for Cadence Allegro/OrCAD.
• Systems Integration: Manage the hardware-to-software integration lifecycle. Develop custom test scripts to automate and enhance device testing using RF and digital diagnostic equipment.
• Validation & Documentation: Execute comprehensive electrical testing and validation plans. Responsible for generating detailed technical documentation, including test reports, failure analysis (root cause), and design change resolutions.
• Operational Support: Provide functional verification and manufacturing support to ensure design-to-production transitions are seamless and uninterrupted.

Basic Requirements

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, in Electrical (RF), Electronics, Telecommunications, or Communication Engineering.
• Professional: 3–5 years of direct experience in RF and communication hardware design.
• Design Tools: Proficiency in Cadence for schematic capture and PCB layout. Experience with simulation tools such as ADS or CST is highly preferred.

Technical Competencies

• RF Expertise: Strong R&D background in RF passive designs and components (Tx, Rx, FGU, VCO) complying with stringent industry specifications.
• Verification: Advanced debugging skills using simulation test-benches, hardware emulation, and lab diagnostic equipment.
• Methodologies: Familiarity with Scrum, Agile, or SAFe development frameworks. Knowledge of DFSS (Design for Six Sigma) and 6‑sigma methodologies is a significant advantage.

Core Attributes

• Independence & Collaboration: Ability to drive projects independently while remaining deeply team-focused.
• Communication: Strong oral and written communication skills for technical documentation and cross-departmental alignment.
• Innovation: A self-motivated mindset with a proactive desire to explore emerging technologies and novel engineering approaches.
