Job description

Job DescriptionJob Description

We are looking for an RF Engineer who can design, simulate, and validate Sub-GHz and Wi-Fi/BLE radio systems and perform RF PCB layout. This is an end-to-end role spanning architecture, simulation, PCB implementation, prototyping, lab validation, and certification (FCC/CE only — no carrier certification).

We build RF/RFID anti-theft technology solutions for apparel labeling, item tagging, and tag readers for retail and industrial environments. You will own the RF front end, antenna integration, controlled-impedance layout, and bring-up of complex PCBs used in our wireless products. You will work closely with electrical, mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, and test teams to deliver robust, manufacturable RF designs.

JOB DUTIES

RF System Design

• Design Sub-GHz ISM (e.g., 850 - 950 MHz) and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi/BLE RF front ends.


• Create link budgets, block diagrams, matching networks, power budgets, and specifications.


• Component selection for PAs, LNAs, filters, switches, mixers, couplers, and RF shields.


• Antenna evaluation and integration (chip, PCB trace, external, ).

RF PCB Design

• Full ownership of RF zones on multilayer PCBs.


• Define stack-up, controlled impedance routing, grounding, isolation, stitching, and keep-outs.


• Work directly in Siemens PADS for schematics + layout (not just oversight).


• Lead DFM/DFT reviews and coordinate with fabrication/assembly partners.

Simulation & Analysis

• Use Dassault CST, Siemens HyperLynx, Keysight ADS, or similar tools for S-parameters, matching, stability, and radiation effects.


• Perform EM analysis for antenna tuning and layout-dependent parasitics.


• Support coexistence analysis between Sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz radios.

Lab Bring-Up & Validation

• Use VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, power meter, and oscilloscopes.


• Conduct S11/S21 measurements, EVM checks, output power, sensitivity, desense analysis, and coexistence testing.


• Tune antenna/matching networks and document all tuning steps.


• Support environmental testing (temperature, vibration, humidity) as relevant to RF performance.

Compliance & Certification

• Execute FCC/CE/UKCA and EMC/EMI requirements (no cellular carrier certification).


• Work with external labs for testing; generate test reports and resolve findings/NCs.

Cross-Functional Support

• Collaborate with FW for RF calibration/test flows.


• Work with manufacturing on golden units, calibration constants, and test limit development.


• Support field failure analysis and yield improvements during NPI.

EDUCATION

• B.S. or M.S. in EE or related field.


• IPC CID certification (plus).

EXPERIENCE

• 5-8+ years owning RF designs from concept to production.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, & ABILITIES

• Deep experience with Sub-GHz ISM radios and Wi-Fi/BLE coexistence.


• Strong proficiency in RF layout, isolation, stack-up, and parasitic control.


• Experience taking products through FCC/CE certification with minimal NCs.


• Experience using Dassault CST, Siemens HyperLynx, Keysight ADS, Cadence AWR, Matlab, or EM simulation (antenna/matching).


• High-volume manufacturing experience (DFM for HDI, low-loss laminates, shields).


• Ability to mentor junior engineers and lead design reviews.


• Familiarity with OTA, SAR, and EMC testing environments.


• Work with Qualcomm/NXP/Nordic/TI/Silicon Labs chipsets.

Job Type: Full-Time - Exempt

Pay: $120,000.00-$140,000.00
