Position: Senior RF Test & PCB Design Engineer
This is a W2 contract position and is not eligible for C2C or W2 referral candidates.
PCB Development: Lead the schematic entry component selection and layout routing optimization for complex RF evaluation boards using Cadence Allegro.
Simulation & Analysis: Perform Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) simulations. Utilize Ansys HFSS for EM modeling and impedance matching to ensure optimal RF performance.
Hardware Bring-up: Own the board bring-up process including debugging hardware issues and validating performance against design specifications.
RF Characterization: Utilize lab equipment (VNAs Spectrum Analyzers Signal Generators) to perform various RF measurements and verify simulation-to-measurement correlations. Implement Machine Learning (ML) techniques to analyze large datasets and identify performance trends or anomalies.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with RFIC Design and System Engineering teams to define board requirements and provide feedback on chip-level performance.
Documentation & Data Analysis: Maintain detailed design documentations and test reports for internal and external stakeholders. Collect review and analyze test data.
Experience: 5 years of hands-on experience in RF PCB design and hardware development.
Tools: Expert-level proficiency in Cadence Allegro/OrCAD and Ansys HFSS (or equivalent EM simulation tools).
RF Fundamentals: Strong knowledge of RF theory including S-parameters transmission line theory matching networks and de-embedding techniques.
Lab Expertise: Extensive experience with RF test equipment (VNAs Spectrum Analyzers Oscilloscopes) and high-speed probing techniques.
Materials Knowledge: Deep understanding of PCB stack-ups dielectric materials (e.g. Rogers Megtron) and manufacturing constraints for high-frequency PCB designs.
Desirable Skills (Nice to Have)
Automation: Proficiency in Python or C# for developing automated test suites to increase characterization throughput.
Data Science for RF: Experience applying AI/ML models for predictive maintenance of test setups or for signal classification.
Wafer-Level Testing: Experience with manual or semi-automated RF probe stations for on-wafer die characterization.
