The successful candidate should have demonstrated expertise in RF Design including RF Modeling/Simulation. This group designs electronic hardware utilizing Antennas, Power Amplifiers, and Receivers. Efforts include development of RF Modules using state of the art circuit simulation and modeling tools. The candidate will be capable of performing RF Module & sub-system modeling to provide our customers with performance evaluations of our EW Subsystems that are installed on various airborne, shipboard, and UAV platforms. The candidate will have demonstrated expertise with RF modeling and simulation with RF subsystems, modules, and components using ADS and HFSS or equivalent design tools. Familiarity with Genesys is desired. The candidate will have demonstrated development of complex RF circuits and circuit cards. Experience with RF System on Chip (RFSoC) devices is desired.

Efforts will also include verification and validation testing support of prototype and production designs. Efforts will include test planning to support development of RF Subsystem/Modules.. The position will also performs technical & cost trade studies, and product selection for commercially available components. All designs incorporate Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) and Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA) techniques including simulation and prototyping necessary to validate the simulations and to develop statistical margins.

Candidates will be expected to provide recommendations and solutions to a variety of technical problems of appropriate scope and complexity, and working independently or in small groups. Successful candidates should expect to be immersed in a fast-paced, team-based, and challenging technical environment where an individual with talent and initiative can stand out and thrive.

The candidate will work in a multi-disciplinary team environment to develop, simulate, document, support, debug, and test various types of digital, and mixed-signal, power circuit, and other interface circuit level / board level designs. The candidate will be expected to lead small teams of 2-4 engineers, including Mechanical, Electrical, & Test Eningeering, with responsibility for meeting cost and schedule targets.
