The role

As an RF Design Engineer, you will carry out RF design activities to ensure the technical and functional feasibility of our products. Working within a multidisciplinary team, your objective will be to meet the technical performance, cost, quality and timing goals set by project management.

Key responsabilities

• Lead the RF design of RF front ends, including Power Amplifiers, LNAs, filters, mixers, combiners, etc., from MHz to mmW applications

• Execute necessary RF design simulations using EM software (e.g., HFSS, Feko) and EDA simulation tools (e.g., ADS, MWO).

• Perform design adjustments and prototype verification in the RF laboratory during each hardware (HW) loop, utilizing Spectrum Analyzers, VNAs, and antenna radiation pattern measurements in anechoic chambers.

• Optimize the RF designs to maximize power transfer, noise figures, and minimize return loss.

• Lead the PCB layout of RF circuits, ensuring proper isolation, grounding, and signal integrity for high-frequency traces.

• Perform functional validation to ensure the performance and reliability of development prototypes prior to customer delivery.

• Effectively manage product modifications throughout the development cycle considering cost reduction ideas.

• Collaborate with manufacturing teams during product industrialization.

  (*) The described functions are only the most representative for this position; therefore, they should not be understood as all the inherent functions related to this job position.

• 2+ years of experience in a similar role.

• Bachelor, Master, or Ph.D. in Electronics Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field with a focus on RF/Microwave engineering.

• Experience on RF front ends, including Power Amplifiers, LNAs, filters, mixers, combiners, etc.

• Proficiency in EDA software (e.g., AWR, ADS) and EM simulation tools (e.g., FEKO, HFSS)

• English advanced level

• Availability to travel occasionally for project collaboration.

• Highly Valued: Prior experience in RF design for Aerospace or Defense applications (e.g., satellite communications, radar, or military standards)

• Valued: Hands-on experience in Antenna design

• Valued: Strong knowledge of wireless communication technologies (GSM/GPRS/3G/LTE/5G/BT/WIFI/Broadcasting/etc...)
