RF Design Engineer

We are seeking a motivated and technically skilled RF Engineer with 2–5 years of practical experience to join our growing engineering team. This role is ideal for early-career professionals who are passionate about RF and microwave design and eager to contribute to the development of high-performance electronic systems. The successful candidate will work on the design, simulation, and testing of RF amplifiers, filters, and microwave components across a wide frequency range.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and simulate RF and microwave circuits including power amplifiers, LNAs, filters, and matching networks (30 MHz to 6 GHz).
• Develop and optimize RF power amplifier designs with output power levels ranging from 20 to 50 watts.
• Perform circuit simulations using Keysight ADS or similar tools.
• Create and maintain schematics and PCB layouts using Altium Designer or equivalent ECAD software.
• Conduct hands-on testing and validation of RF designs using standard lab instrumentation (VNAs, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, etc.).
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate RF designs into larger systems.
• Support power supply design and integration for RF subsystems.
• Assist in the development and testing of systems involving microcontrollers and CPLD devices.

What You Bring:

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in RF and Microwave Engineering
• 2–5 years of hands-on experience in RF/microwave design and lab testing.
• Proficiency in RF simulation tools (e.g., Keysight ADS, AWR, HFSS).
• Familiarity with ECAD tools (Altium Designer preferred).
• Experience with RF instrumentation and measurement techniques.
• Knowledge of LNA and power amplifier design principles.
• Understanding of power supply design fundamentals.
• Exposure to embedded systems involving microcontrollers and CPLDs.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Effective communication and documentation abilities.
• Ability to work independently and in a team-oriented environment.
• Eagerness to learn and grow in a fast-paced engineering setting.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Professional development opportunities.
• Flexible work environment.

Why join us?

This is more than just a job—it's an opportunity to push the boundaries of RF technology. You’ll work on mission-critical projects, collaborate with top-tier talent, and develop solutions that deliver exceptional performance in the most demanding environments.
