SHAPE THE FUTURE WITH US

We offer you a motivating environment with exciting projects and would appreciate to welcome you in our team as a:

Lead RF Designer

As an RF designer, you will be designing and developing the RF hardware modules for the RF Coils sub system of MR products, for hospital and outpatient radiology facilities. Together with other electronic hardware designers (RF, analog, digital and mixed signal), mechanical engineers, system engineering, manufacturing, and service engineers you will take products from concept through design into production and sustain the product in market to meet our customer’s needs. If you're passionate about healthcare innovation and cutting-edge technology, this is your chance to make a meaningful impact.

Your role:

• You will be responsible for the design (models, schematics, and layout), realization, integration, and verification of analog and RF components of the MRI systems.
• Contribute to the electronic design and development of analog circuits including RF circuits, PCB schematics, layout plans, wiring drawings, and assembling.
• Assemble, configure, repair, and connect electronic systems and devices.
• Debug and characterize complex electronic circuits using standard test and measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers).
• The present result, root cause analysis to a broader audience and drive for best possible performance of RF Front End.
• Support on various technical aspects of regulatory compliance.
• Participation in the activity of verification and validation for the design process
• Actively participate in cost saving opportunities, design maintenance and solving end-of-life issues.
• Document development efforts for subsystem component and module, including requirements, specifications, design plans, reviews, test procedures and test reports.
• Coordinate, support, and execute product tests to provide a traceable verification of the product.

You're the right fit if:

• You hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical or electronics engineering specialized in RF Circuit design.
• 8-12 years of experience in RF hardware development, preferably in a (safety) regulated industry such as medical devices, gas appliances and aviation equipment.
• Solid understanding of RF concepts such as impedance matching, impedance transformation, distributed systems, passive RLC and resonant circuits, noise, linearity, bandwidth, and stability from tens of kHz to a few Mhz.
• Familiar with lab instruments including Network Analyzers, Spectrum Analyzers, Signal Generators, RF Probe Stations, Noise Figure Analyzers
• Strong lab skills in data collection & analysis, lab debugging & tuning, and product troubleshooting
• Familiarity with various component blocks inside the RF transceiver lines, including coils, tuning and matching circuits, LNA, upconverters/downconverters, baseband filters, driver amplifiers/power amplifiers, linear RF switches, attenuators, low noise regulators, amplifiers, transimpedance amplifier, and biasing circuits.
• A self-starter and team player with a strong desire to learn on the job. Strong desire and commitment to take product from concept to volume production
• You have outstanding communication skills, are highly motivated and a good team player.
