RF Engineer 4

Contributes to research and development efforts for future products and technology by collecting and analyzing data to improve electrical system designs. Performs professional RF electrical engineering research, design, development, modification, and evaluation in support of electrical and electro-mechanical subsystems, embedded systems, and power distribution. Works within a multidisciplinary engineering design team (Firmware, FPGA, Mechanical, Electrical) to specify, design and modify custom and OEM system components. Works with suppliers to prepare detailed design, prototype fabrication, design testing/verification, and manage production release. Prepares and analyze test plans and procedures to assure that technical and operational requirements are met and can be properly demonstrated. Responsible for the collection and analysis of pertinent material and data in preparation of your presentation at design, project, and program reviews. Leads focused cross functional teams, initiatives, and is a resource and mentor to other colleagues. Minimum of 10 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 8 years and a Master's degree; or a PhD with 5 years' experience. Primarily responsible for design/selection, testing and documentation of RF delivery systems . Must have hands-on experience with complex RF measurement equipment: Power Meters, Network and Spectrum Analyzers, oscilloscopes, field strength meters, etc. Experience with RF/uW generator/source, impedance matching networks, transmission lines, and antennas. Technical working experience: 100 KHz to 100 MHz, single Watt to Kilowatt ranges, and high voltage DC delivery. Familiar with high voltage (> 10 KV) and high current (> 100 Arms) design rules; arcing, tracking, heat, and parasitic. Excellent communication and presentation skills. Outstanding analysis and trouble-shooting skills. Ability to drive functional requirements and execute in a dynamic team environment. Experience with semiconductor capital equipment or related industrial equipment industry experience. Experience with Rf simulation suites: SPICE, ADS, LabView, MathCAD, MatLab, and analysis tools (i.e. - HFSS, Comsol, Maxwell). Appreciates learning and understanding challenges and limitations within other disciplines on system designs. Working knowledge of industry standards: SEMI, NFPA79, NEC, UL, EN, IEC, ETG, etc. Willingness to travel to international locations.
