Qualifications

• Understanding of RF fundamentals and electronics theory
• Ability to read and understand electrical circuits and schematics
• Hands-on experience with electronics assembly, soldering, and PCB rework; precise soldering skills are strongly preferred.
• Experience in testing analog and RF circuits using network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes
• Basic understanding of RF measurements such as gain, return loss, insertion loss, VSWR, and S-parameters.
• Familiarity with PCB layout and routing concepts, including grounding and basic controlled-impedance considerations.
• Familiarity with RF simulation tools (Keysight ADS, Ansys HFSS, CST or equivalent)
• High School diploma and completed 2-4 year post-secondary technical education in electrical engineering or equivalent

Responsibilities

• Research, design, and optimize low noise amplifiers, RF switches, and other RF circuits
• Build, test and tune prototypes of RF hardware including antennas and PCBs
• Perform PCB layout and routing with design-for-manufacturing practices
• Use network and spectrum analyzers and other test equipment to evaluate RF circuits
• Assist with electrical and environmental test planning and data collection
• Support RF circuit simulation and analysis to evaluate performance
• Develop test procedures, reports, and manufacturing work instructions
• Help diagnose malfunctions and propose improvements for reliability
• Participate in root-cause analysis and document corrective actions
• Assist with RFQ and technical sales input with data and information
• Support prototype builds, testing, troubleshooting, and transitions into manufacturing
• Suggest design improvements for manufacturability and process improvements
