RF Electrical Engineer

Skills:
7+ years of RF experience in radar hardware development, including defining requirements, schematic design, layout, and overseeing the manufacturing of PCBAs.
Experience with radar design - i.e. translating FCC requirements into design specifications, link budget analysis, impact of antenna geometry on gain pattern.
Experience with schematic design and layout - i.e. component selection, placement, feedline routing, impact of via/trace geometries on insertion loss.
Manufacturing - Interface with PCB fab and assembly shops; Define the stackup; Anticipate and identify design issues that would impact manufacturing reliability.
Comfortable bringing-up and testing radar boards using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, horns, and probes.
Comfortable using Altium, our PCB CAD tool.
Comfortable guiding other engineers to run Ansys HFSS, interpreting the results, and providing advice on how to adjust geometries to improve performance.
Digital circuit design and layout, with a skill to layout and isolate high-frequency (up to 30 Ghz) traces.
Experience with Xilinx and Intel Altera FPGAs
Able to independently collect and analyze data to innovate and improve the performance of radar-based hardware and associated analogue and digital circuitry
Able to work collaboratively with RF engineers on analog electrical engineering tasks and challenges.
Able to work collaboratively with a range of external third parties and vendors.

Additional Qualifications:
High attention to detail with strong written and verbal communication skills and technical documentation
Creative thinking and problem solving
Strong communication and teamwork skills
The following skills are also highly desirable:
working knowledge of radar products, commercial acumen,
experience with novel product design,
Master's degree preferred or with equivalent work experience

Responsibilities:
Understand the commercialization objectives and how they influence hardware choices.
To lead and manage the component and module selection effort.
Design and layout those components with complex multi-layer PCBs mixing high frequency analog and digital components.
Manage PCB fabrication and assembly.
Communicate the radar's theory of operation with our machine learning team.
Collaboratively work with and coordinate RF engineers in the design of the Analog circuits and antennas. Education: Bachelors or Masters in IT or Computer Science
