About the role

Responsibilities

  • Design RF electronics hardware for next generation products, and iterate on existing hardware to improve reliability, performance, and manufacturability
  • Create electromagnetic simulation models of hardware (amplifiers, filters, PCB layout) to design and evaluate performance
  • Build RF circuits (LNA’s, filters, power amplifiers) as well as support circuitry (power, digital control), and characterize their performance
  • Collaboration with hardware and software engineers to characterize and troubleshoot integrated RF system performance

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related engineering discipline
  • 0-4+ years of RF design experience, across circuits, filters, or antennas

Preferred Experience and Skills

  • RF line-up design, considering non-linearity, noise, output power, and blocker/jammer tolerance
  • Power amplifier, LNA, and filter design
  • Experience with design and bring-up of point of load converters and common digital interfaces such as I2C/SPI
  • Theory and testing related to EVM, Noise Figure, power handling metrics (IIP2, IMD), impedance matching, amplifier stability, and cascaded network analysis
  • Use of Python (or other language) for data analysis and test automation
