Responsibilities

Kforce is partnered directly with the hiring manager of this growing engineering technology company in Orem, UT on an exclusive search for an RF Hardware Design Engineer. This is a high-impact role for an engineer passionate about solving complex RF/microwave challenges and driving development of advanced RF based hardware systems in a fast-paced, engineering-centric environment. This role offers competitive compensation including base salary, annual bonus and equity. This position is Hybrid Remote. Key Responsibilities:

• Design and development of hardware systems across RF/microwave, low-noise analog, power systems, FPGA hardware, and embedded GPU platforms
• Evaluate tradeoffs between RF hardware and signal processing (detection, tracking, calibration, interference mitigation) to optimize system performance
• Translate system-level requirements into hardware and software specifications
• Assess feasibility across technical, cost, and schedule constraints
• Partner cross-functionally with systems, electrical, mechanical, and software teams from concept through production
• Troubleshoot complex hardware issues and drive design improvements
• Collaborate with product teams to ensure performance aligns with real-world application needs

Requirements

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Aerospace Engineering or similar field or equivalent work experience
• At least 1-4 years of work experience in RF Hardware Design (Will also consider a combination of industry work experience and academic experience)

RF/Microwave Design in some of the following areas would be preferred:

• Upconversion/downconversion circuits
• Mixers and signal chain design
• Amplifiers (LNAs, PAs), Transceivers, filtering, phased arrays, calibration
• Waveform generation (DDS, PLLs), oscillators (OCXO or similar)
• Experience with PLLs (integer vs fractional-N, loop bandwidth)
• Experience with signal-chain including transceiver signal chain design would be ideal
• Experience with PLLs, waveform generation, up/down conversion
• Antenna design is a plus but not required

Hardware & Circuit Design:

• Schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium preferred)
• Hands-on RF circuit testing, tuning, and component evaluation

Simulation & Analysis:

• LTSpice (required)
• HFSS, ADS or similar
• Python, MATLAB, or equivalent tools for data analysis

The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.

We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.

Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.
