RF Design Engineer (PCB & Satellite Communications, Up To $7,000)

JOB-00548 What You’ll Do (Key Responsibilities) Advanced Layout Design: Architect multi-layer, high-density PCBs for complex satellite communication equipment, managing critical constraints like signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and thermal management. RF & High-Speed Routing: Execute impedance-controlled routing, grounding strategies, and microwave-frequency layouts for critical RF components (SSPAs, BUCs, LNAs). End-to-End Execution: Drive the entire ECAD workflow using Altium Designer (or equivalent)—from schematic capture and library management to generating production-ready manufacturing packages (Gerber, ODB++, pick-and-place). Simulation & Validation: Utilize RF simulation tools (HFSS, AWR) to optimize board performance and minimize EMI/EMC risks before fabrication. Lab Testing & Bring-Up: Roll up your sleeves in the lab to support prototype assembly, board bring-up, debugging, and root-cause analysis using spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and oscilloscopes. Design for Excellence (DFX): Partner with manufacturing teams to conduct DFM/DFA reviews, ensuring seamless production scaling and strict adherence to IPC standards. What You Bring (Qualifications & Experience) Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related discipline. Experience: 3–5+ years of proven experience in multi-layer PCB design, with a strong emphasis on RF, wireless, or telecommunications hardware . ECAD Expertise: High proficiency in Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, or Mentor Graphics. Technical Depth: Deep understanding of analog, digital, mixed-signal, and high-speed digital layout techniques (controlled impedance, differential pairs). RF Component Familiarity: Working knowledge of RF communication building blocks like Transceivers, Down-Converters, BUCs, and LNAs. Lab Skills: Hands-on experience troubleshooting physical hardware using RF lab equipment (VNA, Spectrum Analyzers). Standards: Familiarit…
