Job description

Due to federal requirements, export control regulations (ITAR/EAR), and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling associated with our NRL and ONR grant projects, applicants must be a "U.S. Person" (U.S. Citizen, Lawful Permanent Resident / Green Card holder, or protected individual under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)).

affinityRF is unable to offer employment visa sponsorship (e.g., H-1B, OPT STEM sponsorship) for this position.

Company Description affinityRF is a small fast paced engineering-focused organization specializing in photonics, radio frequency (RF), and electronic solutions for a range of applications. The company is committed to developing reliable, high-performance products that meet rigorous technical and quality standards.

Role Description The Electrical Engineer will work on-site in Brighton, MI in a full-time capacity, focusing on the design, development, and testing of electronic, photonic, and RF systems and components. Day-to-day responsibilities include creating and reviewing schematics, selecting components, performing circuit simulations, and supporting PCB layout activities in coordination with design teams. The engineer will build and evaluate prototypes, conduct lab measurements and troubleshooting, and document test procedures and results. This role also involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to refine requirements, resolve technical issues, and ensure designs comply with performance, safety, and regulatory standards. The Electrical Engineer will participate in product lifecycle activities, including design reviews, design-for-manufacturability considerations, and ongoing support for production and field deployments.

Qualifications

• Strong foundation in electrical engineering principles, including analog and digital circuit design, signal integrity, and power electronics.
• Experience with RF or high-frequency systems
• Proficiency with design and analysis tools (e.g., schematic capture, circuit simulation, and PCB layout collaboration) and laboratory test equipment (oscilloscopes, network analyzers, spectrum analyzers).
• Ability to create clear technical documentation, including design specifications, test plans, and reports, and to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Demonstrated problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team in an on-site environment.
• Experience with product development, manufacturing support, or compliance and safety standards is beneficial.
• Altium experience is a big plus.
• Familiarity with embedded systems, microcontrollers, or firmware collaboration is a plus.
