The candidate will design, simulate, layout and test RF circuits in the 200 MHz to 6 GHz range employing microstrip & lumped passive elements, device & transistor level active elements, RFICs and conformal antennas. Subsystem design areas will encompass oscillators, mixers, frequency synthesizers, efficient RF power amplifiers and low noise receivers for use in low power, highly miniaturized communications and sensor electronics.

The candidate will also conceptualize and conduct innovative R&D in RF technology in support of company-wide complex systems development projects requiring unique wireless communications systems and signal processing.

The candidate must be able to work effectively with minimum supervision, be comfortable working with a team of high-caliber engineers, and demonstrate the future potential for technically leading such teams.

The successful candidate will possess a minimum of a BSEE and 5 years experience designing complex RF circuitry. Additional experience and training desirable. Must be able to architect high performance transmitters and receivers, develop subsystem requirements, and design and integrate individual subsystems. Expertise in use of RF / Microwave design tools (e.g. Agilent ADS, HFSS, Spice, MATLAB / SIMULINK) and RF laboratory test equipment is required. Detailed knowledge of commercially available circuit board level RF components including amplifiers, mixers, modulators, oscillators, filters, detectors, PLLs and more functionally integrated RFICs is essential. Familiarity with spread spectrum systems, communications theory and GPS is highly desirable, and the capacity & drive to get things done is mandatory.
