Funciones / Tareas

Función principal y alcance:

- We are seeking an experienced RF / Microwave PCB Designer to lead and execute the layout and design of high-frequency PCBs operating at 40 GHz. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in high frequency layout techniques controlled-impedance structures RF stack-up definition and close collaboration with RF mechanical thermal and manufacturing teams.

- This role is hands-on and requires practical experience translating RF schematics into production-ready low-loss PCB designs.

Funciones principales:

- - Design simulation and layout RF microwave and mmWave PCBs (with focus between 20 to 40 GHz)

- - Define and optimize PCB stack-ups for low-loss high-frequency operation

- Implement controlled impedance transmission lines (microstrip stripline CPW GCPW)

- - Perform RF layout best practices:

o Via fencing and grounding strategies

o Launch transitions (connector-to-PCB die-to-PCB)

o Isolation and coupling control

o Minimization of parasitics and discontinuities

- - Collaborate with RF engineers to ensure layout matches circuit intent

- - Work with mechanical thermal and manufacturing teams on:

o Tolerances

o Material selection (Rogers Taconic Isola etc.)

o DFM/DFA considerations

o Thermal constrains

- - Support EM simulation feedback and layout iterations

- - Participate in design reviews including RF and manufacturing readiness reviews

- - Generate fabrication and assembly documentation (Gerbers stack-up drawings impedance tables)

- - Support board bring-up debug and performance validation.

- - Experience in space applications a plus.

Formación y Competencias requeridas

- - Bachelors degree in Electronics Engineering or equivalent.

- - 5 years of experience in RF / microwave PCB design

- - Proven experience designing PCBs operating at high frequency

- - Strong knowledge of:

o RF materials and laminates

o High-frequency PCB fabrication constraints

o Impedance control and loss mechanisms

- - Hands-on experience with RF connectors and launches (SMP SMPM GPPO coax launches wirebond flip-chip)

- - Proficiency with PCB design tools such as:

o Altium Designer (preferred)

o Cadence Allegro / OrCAD

o Mentor Xpedition

- - Proficiency with RF design and simulation tools

o ADS

o HFSS

o CST

o AWR Microwave Officce

- - Ability to read and interpret RF schematics and simulation results

- - Ability to read and understand parts datasheets

- - Experience working with multi-disciplinary engineering teams

- - Desirable/Plus

o PLLs for Variable Local Oscillators

o Knowledge of architectural topologies for frequency synthesis and phase noise

o PLL and VCO integration

El puesto está localizado en nuestras oficinas centrales de Madrid Capital en Serrano Galvache 56.
