Sr RF Design Engineer - Modules - Apopka, FL, United States
Originally posted 22 July 2026 by the employer — open 50 days.
About the role
This role involves the design of RF modules from concept to production release for applications including Cellular Base Station, GPS, Radar, Satellite, and CATV.
What you'll do
- Own RF module design and development projects from inception to production release.
- Perform circuit level design of RF sub-systems, EM simulations, and impedance matching circuits.
- Prepare technical proposals for customers.
- Prepare and present technical and project reviews internally and to external customers.
- Work with test engineering to characterize prototypes and optimize designs for performance, yield, reliability, and cost.
What you'll need
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Physics with a focus on RF Design/Electromagnetics plus 2+ years of RF module design experience.
- Understanding of RF/Microwave module design including circuit and electromagnetics level simulations.
- Working knowledge of RF simulation tools such as Keysight ADS and HFSS.
- Experience with impedance matching techniques and matching circuit design.
- Ability to create 3D circuit models using EM tools and run simulations on RF/Microwave structures.
- Working knowledge of RF test techniques for noise, s-parameters, linearity and lab equipment such as Vector Network Analyzer, Spectrum Analyzer, Oscilloscopes.
- Experience with IPD (Integrated Passive Device) die design.
Nice to have
- Working knowledge of multi-chip module (MCM) packaging processes.
- Previous experience with passive RF components.
- Understanding of MMIC technologies such as GaAs, RF SOI, GaN.
- Exposure to MMIC design, with preference for GaAs HBT and/or PHEMT design background.
- Experience with high rejection/high isolation filter design.
- Experience with AWR and Cadence simulations toolsets.
- Programming experience with Python and/or Matlab.
