Qorvo, Inc.; Denver (CO); On-site; USD 148,000 - 193,000; Full time

Job summary

Qorvo, Inc. in Denver, CO, is seeking a Principal Antenna in Package (AiP) Design Engineer to design and test mmWave PCB-based phased array antennas for defense and aerospace applications.

You will work with world-class RF/antenna teams, model components with AWR/CST/HFSS, develop BOMs, and support OTA testing and prototype qualification. Strong scripting in Python is valued as the program progresses toward production.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree (BSEE or equivalent) with 12+ years of experience.
• Prior design experience with RF/mmWave phased array antenna components.
• Experience using AWR, CST, and HFSS.
• Experience testing RF and mmWave circuits, coupons, and systems.
• Experience with scripting or programming using Python.

Responsibilities

• Design PCB-based antenna elements and arrays for mmWave operation, including analysis of array-level efficiency, gain, scan performance, and related metrics.
• Collaborate with antenna, electrical, RF component, and PCB design engineers to develop mmWave phased array prototype designs.
• Model RF and mmWave components, including PCB mmWave transitions, connector matching networks, filters, tuning networks, and related structures, using AWR, CST, and/or HFSS.
• Design passive circuit components such as power splitters/combiners, microstrip and stripline transmission lines, and impedance transformers using AWR, CST, and/or HFSS.
• Develop, manage, and finalize bill of material (BOM) lists and guide parts selection to support cost models and prototype schedules.
• Support over-the-air test development for new waveforms and test conditions, including hands-on testing of RF and mmWave phased array antennas.
• Support test and troubleshooting of new mmWave phased array prototypes, including power supplies, control circuits, and RF/mmWave circuits, and perform power integrity analysis on prototype boards.
