Lead Analog/RF Design Engineer - High-Power RF

Qorvo, Inc.; Richardson (TX); On-site; USD 120,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Qorvo, Inc. in Richardson, TX seeks an experienced Analog Design Engineer to join the Defense & Aerospace HPRF product team.

You will lead design and development of circuit card assemblies for solid‑state power amplifiers and other high‑power RF systems, handling analog, RF, and mixed‑signal hardware from concept through production. The role requires 5+ years in analog or mixed‑signal design, CCAs experience, and hands‑on lab work with oscilloscopes, VNAs, and spectrum analyzers.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in analog or mixed-signal electronic design.
• Experience designing and developing Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs).
• Ability to troubleshoot complex hardware issues at the board and system level.
• Strong understanding of analog circuit design, high-current electronic circuits, signal conditioning and measurement circuits, and EMI/EMC mitigation techniques.
• Knowledge of signal integrity analysis, power integrity analysis, environmental qualification testing, reliability engineering, design for manufacturability (DFM), and design for testability (DFT).
• Hands-on laboratory experience using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers (VNAs), signal generators, and power meters.
• Strong communication and technical documentation skills.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop analog, RF, and mixed-signal CCAs for SSPA and high-power RF amplifier products
• Design and integrate circuits including RF amplifier bias and control circuits, GaN power amplifier support circuitry, power conditioning and power distribution networks, RF detector and monitoring circuits, health monitoring & fault protection circuits, and high-current analog interfaces
• Perform circuit simulations and analyses using tools such as LTspice, PSpice, or equivalent to ensure performance, robustness, and reliability
• Collaborate with PCB layout engineers to optimize RF grounding and isolation, high-current power distribution, thermal management, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC performance
• Support RF subsystem integration and bring-up activities.
