RF Microwave Engineer

Job Description Job Description Company Overview: We are a rapidly growing high-tech startup developing leading RFICs, MMICs, and RF Modules.

Our fast-paced, innovative environment provides exceptional opportunities for motivated individuals looking to make a significant impact. Join us early as we expand into new markets and shape the future of RF technology Prefer candidates with at-least 3-years of experience. Key Responsibilities:

S-Parameter Measurements & Calibrations: High proficiency with S-Parameter measurements and calibrations both on-wafer and in-fixture. Must be able to perform VNA calibrations: on-wafer, coax phase-stable cables, and waveguide Interpret and analyze measurement data to draw logical conclusions on DUT performance.

High-Power RF Testing:

Perform high-power RF testing, including Pout vs. Pin , AM-PM , Linearity , and NPR . Ensure accurate measurement results through careful setup, calibrations, data analysis, and interpretation.

Training available for specific high-power RF testing techniques. On-Wafer Testing: Execute on-wafer testing for RFICs, MMICs, and other chip-level devices.

Proficient in working with wafer probe stations, RF positioners, and RF measurement equipment. Conduct accurate wafer-level S-Parameter and load-pull measurements, ensuring consistent calibration and measurement procedures. Analyze on-wafer data and provide detailed performance reports.

DUT Types (SSPA, LNAs, Switches, Mixers): Test a variety of Device Under Test (DUT) types, including Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPA), Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), RF Switches, and Mixers. Develop appropriate test methodologies and ensure accurate data collection for each DUT type. Test Methodologies:

Proficiency with both in-fixture (coax and waveguide) and on-wafer testing.

Strong mechanical aptitude and adherence to RF lab tool etiquette. Load-Pull & Noise-Parameter Testing:

Proficiency in load-pull and noise-parameter testing is preferred, with training provided as needed. Technical Analysis & Documentation: Ability to read, write, and document technical information effectively.

Complete comprehensive technical analyses and generate detailed test reports. High computer literacy required RF Testing of Products Across Form Factors: Perform RF testing of products through all form factors, including on-wafer, chip-level, RFICs, MMICs, coax-fixtures, and waveguide.

RF Lab Etiquette: Familiar with proper RF-microwave lab etiquette, tool usage, cleanliness, and RF torque wrenches. Proficiency with both in-fixture (coax and waveguide) and on-wafer testing.

Strong mechanical aptitude and adherence to RF lab tool etiquette. Test Software Proficiency: Proficiency in test software tools such as Python (preferred), Matlab, LabVIEW, etc.

Requirements: Education and/or Experience: preferred, but not required for exceptional candidates: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering Training can be provided for exceptional candidates that have basic RF-Testing experience RF-Concepts: Strong understanding of RF concepts like Return-Loss/VSWR, gain, power gain, Noise Figure, Noise Temperature, dBm, Watts, S-Parameters, Linearity, Smith-Chart, and complex numbers.

Technical Reading/Writing: Ability to read and write well, with strong technical analysis and documentation skills. What We Offer:

A fast-paced, high-tech startup environment. Opportunities for growth and career advancement as the company expands. Competitive salary and benefits package.

Benefits: Retirement Plan : 401(k) Professional Development : Opportunities for training, mentorship, and career advancement. Relocation Assistance : Support for qualified candidates to make the move to join our team.
