• Hands-on lab measurements, debugging, and performance validation.

Ideal Profile :

• Extensive experience in RF / mmWave PA and MMIC design, ideally up to 90GHz (V- / E-band).
• Strong background in high-power, high-efficiency amplifier development using GaN and / or GaAs technologies.
• Skilled in industry-standard design tools such as ADS, AWR, HFSS, and EM simulation software.
• MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Proven track record of success in a senior engineering capacity, preferably at a Principal MMIC Design Engineer level.
• Publications, patents, or major conference presentations are a strong advantage.

What’s on Offer :

• Salary up to €120,000 plus a highly competitive stock option package.
• Work in a collaborative, technically strong environment with high levels of autonomy.
• Involvement in leading-edge product development for global markets.
