MUST have experience with ADS and/or AWR Microwave Office is a needed software tool to have knowledge. Needs to be on site to use lab equipment and interface with other designers and engineers.

PROJECT SCOPE:

• Lead the development of RF architectures and hardware designs for communication systems, translating system requirements into effective circuit card, module, and subsystem-level solutions.
• Conduct and support circuit card and subsystem development activities and design reviews, including translating customer and system requirements into RF hardware implementations.
• Contribute to proposal efforts and program execution by developing technical approaches, identifying risks, estimating budgets and schedules, and recommending practical RF architecture solutions.
• Perform RF/analog design, analysis, modeling, simulation, integration, and verification of high-frequency and microwave hardware at the component, subsystem, and system levels.
• Collaborate across systems, mechanical, and software engineering disciplines to develop integrated solutions that meet technical, performance, quality, and manufacturability objectives.
• Provide technical leadership through peer design reviews, verification test support, and guidance of RF hardware designs through development, production, and sustainment.
• Manage technical tasking, schedules, and priorities for assigned efforts across the product lifecycle, supporting concept development, qualification, production, and sustainment.
• Mentor and guide less-experienced engineers while promoting innovation, sound engineering judgment, and successful program execution.
• Prepare and deliver technical presentations on concepts, designs, analyses, and results to engineering, program, and leadership teams to support decision-making and continuous improvement.

REQUIREMENTS:

• 4-6+ years of experience RF/Wireless Network Systems design & engineering
• 4+ years experience designing RF products: UHF through E-band, including frequency synthesizers, up/down converters, front-end electronics, antenna tracking electronics, and complete RF systems.
• Experience with Cadence AWR/Microwave Office, PathWave RF Synthesis (Genesys), and Siemens EDA (Mentor Graphics) or similar tools.
• MUST have experience with ADS and/or AWR Microwave Office is a needed software tool to have knowledge.
• Working knowledge of S-parameters, matching networks, cascade analysis, gain budgets, noise figure, linearity, filtering, and related RF metrics.
• Strong foundation in electromagnetic, RF/microwave theory, SATCOM, and/or Electronic Warfare (EW).
• Ability to work independently and provide technical guidance to multi-disciplinary teams in the development of RF systems and assemblies.
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, receivers, signal generators, amplifiers, antennas, and power meters.
• Strong understanding of passive and active RF components, including amplifiers, oscillators, attenuators, mixers, and filters, and their impact on system performance.
• Strong understanding of noise figure, noise temperature, Eb/No, BER, receiver sensitivity, temperature effects, impedance interfaces, and isolation requirements.
• Experience supporting RF architecture definition, developing link budgets, and performing system-level analysis.
• Knowledge of nonlinear RF effects, including intermodulation, IP2, IP3, group delay variation, dynamic range, and mitigation techniques.
• Understanding of power budgets and environmental design impacts.
