Job Title:Lead RF/Wireless Design Engineer
Job Location:Salt Lake City UT
Job Code: 20924
Job Schedule:9/80:Employees work 9 out of every 14 days totaling 80 hours worked and have every other Friday off
Job Description:
L3Harris Broadband Communication Systems (BCS) in Salt Lake City Utah currently has a position open forLead RF/Wireless engineer to join our team. We are looking for a senior level RF and microwave design engineer to design and deliver mission critical RF hardware and solutions to our customers the warfighter. Our design efforts include but not limited to power amplifiers frequency converters LNAs filters and general RF circuitry for our military communication equipment.
Essential Functions:
- Support the development of communication system architectures from an RF perspective.
- Conduct and support system and subsystem development efforts and design reviews including deriving RF hardware requirements from customer/system level specifications.
- Participate in the proposal process for programs with RF requirements by estimating tasks budgets schedules identifying risk and planning architectures.
- Perform RF hardware circuit design engineering analysis simulation and initial testing from the component level up to entire communication systems.
- Lead and work in conjunction with mechanical systems and software engineering to meet challenging performance requirements.
- Support the RF team with internal peer design reviews design verification testing of engineering units and oversight of design through production.
- Manage design schedules budgets and tasking assignments from program inception development transition to production manufacturing and through the product Lifecyle.
- Mentor junior engineers inspiring them to push boundaries of technologies while monitoring creating manufacturable products.
- Develop and present concepts designs and results to RF and hardware management focused on growing capabilities and improving design methods.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a US Secret Security Clearance.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelors Degree and minimum 9 years of prior relevant (RF/Wireless) experience. Graduate Degree and a minimum of 7 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree minimum of 13 years of prior related experience.
Preferred Additional Skills:
- Candidate must have a background in electromagnetic (EM) and RF/microwave theory and knowledge of electronic warfare (EW).
- Ability to work independently as well as direct and coordinate work of multidisciplinary engineering teams to assure the successful development of RF systems and assemblies.
- Experience designing RF products operating from UHF through Eband. Design activities will include frequency synthesizers Up/down converters frontend electronics and other RF electronics for various antenna tracking techniques up through entire RF systems on platforms.
- Experience with Cadence (AWR and Microwave Office) Pathwave RF Synthesis (Genesys) and Siemens EDA (Mentor Graphics).
- Candidate must understand the critical performance characteristics of passive and active RF components such as Amplifiers Oscillators Attenuators Mixers and Filters. An understanding of how these characteristics relate to a communication systems performance is a plus.
- Candidate must have a working knowledge of Sparameters (matching networks cascade analysis Gain budget analysis (Gain NF Linearity Noise power and Filtering (types bandwidth implementations .
- A strong understanding of noise figure/noise temperature (Eb/No BER vs. noise receiver sensitivity and expected value and variance) temperature effects interconnection (standard and nonstandard impedances) and isolation requirements.
- Candidate must have experience with defining RF architectures creating link budgets and performing systemlevel analysis.
- Knowledge of Link Budget Analysis including nonlinear effects and their remedies (intermodulation IP3 IP2 group delay variation and dynamic range) is essential.
- Knowledge of primepower budgets and environmental conditions affect design.
- Experience with common lab equipment such as: Oscilloscopes Spectrum Analyzers Receivers Signal Generators amplifiers Antennas power meters
- Familiar with and maintains knowledge of industry trends. Help develop roadmaps utilizing the latest technologies to increase system and subassembly capabilities and lower the cost size weight and power.
- Familiar with SATCOM standards for both military and commercial applications.
