Job offer Senior RF Design Engineer

Our client, a leading innovator in advanced semiconductor solutions based in Andover, MA, is seeking a talented Senior RF Design Engineer to join their dynamic team. You'll be part of a company renowned for pushing the boundaries of RF technology, where innovation thrives, and your expertise will contribute to cutting-edge solutions that shape the future of wireless communication.

About the Role:

As a Senior RF Design Engineer, you will spearhead the development of RF Front-end Modules (FEMs), focusing on high-frequency RF T/R modules. Your responsibilities will include designing complex components such as power and multi-path T/R switches, low noise amplifiers, matching circuits, filters, SMT components, integrated passive devices (IPD), MIPI controls, and LDOs. You will play a crucial role in optimising FEM performance to exceed customer expectations, collaborating closely with IC designers and contributing to package/substrate design and floor planning. Hands-on experience with prototype hardware tuning and lab evaluation will be essential to validate and refine designs.

Qualifications as a Senior RF Design Engineer:
Strong understanding of RF systems, proficiency in cellular standards, and familiarity with RFFE module requirements.
Proven track record in designing passive components such as matching circuits, baluns, filters, and direction couplers.
Experience with RF design simulation tools (e.g., Keysight ADS) and adept at interpreting data displays.
Proficiency in 3-D (HFSS, FEM) and 2.5-D EM (EMX, Momentum, Sonnet) design/simulation tools.
Familiarity with thermal design simulations and basic knowledge of ESD protection strategies.
Strong hands-on lab skills for characterisation, debugging, and familiarity with lab instruments (Network Analysers, Spectrum Analyzers, etc.).
Ability to independently execute project tasks with minimal supervision.
Collaborative mindset, committed to meeting product requirements and project schedules.
Responsibilities as a Senior RF Design Enigneer:
Lead the development of RF modules, ensuring alignment with system requirements and optimising performance trade-offs.
Collaborate with IC designers on floorplanning and co-design of FEM package/MCM substrate, providing critical package models for design simulations.
Design passive circuits (matching circuits, baluns, filters, direction couplers) within MCM FEM packages or IC substrates.
Coordinate with MCM layout designers to fabricate printed circuit boards and other FEM packages, ensuring seamless integration.
Support hardware validations, analyse measurement data, and iterate designs for optimal performance.
Provide comprehensive data analysis and performance reports to guide the design and product development teams.
Join a team of innovators at the forefront of RF technology, where your contributions will drive the development of next-generation wireless solutions. In Andover, MA, you'll work in a collaborative environment that fosters creativity and professional growth. Enjoy competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects that make a global impact.
