• Expertise designing complete RF and mixed-signal signal chains, RF front ends, analog filtering, ADC/DAC interfaces, clock generation, synchronization, and low-noise power architectures.
• Experience taking complex RF hardware from system architecture through schematic capture, PCB implementation, hardware debugging, validation, and production.
• Strong understanding of RF design theory, including filter design, impedance matching, signal integrity, noise mitigation, shielding, grounding, and high-speed mixed-signal PCB implementation.
• Extensive experience selecting and integrating high-speed ADCs and DACs from vendors such as Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, or similar manufacturers.
• Strong experience designing RF circuits operating up to 18 GHz.
• Strong understanding of digital interfaces connecting high-speed converters to FPGA-based processing architectures.
• Experience designing programmable clock generation and distribution systems supporting multiple sampling rates and bandwidths.
• Experience designing low-noise power supplies for high-performance mixed-signal and RF systems.
• Hands-on laboratory experience using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, and related RF test equipment.
• Experience collaborating closely with PCB layout engineers to optimize component placement, controlled impedance routing, grounding, isolation, and manufacturability.
• Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to analyze and resolve complex analog and mixed-signal performance issues.

Responsibilities

• Design RF signal paths and complete RF/mixed-signal front-end architectures for defense/aerospace embedded computing products.
• Develop low-noise analog circuitry, clocking systems, and power architectures.
• Collaborate with FPGA, PCB, embedded software, and systems teams throughout the product lifecycle from concept through production.
• Address signal integrity challenges and influence architecture decisions for RF/mixed-signal platforms.
