Role : RF Design Engineer
As an RF Design Engineer, you will be the technical driver behind the design and development of RF power amplifier components, specifically targeting high-performance applications using GaN and LDMOS technologies. You’ll lead projects involving amplifier designs—not generalist work, but deeply focused, system-level RF engineering from concept through implementation.
Design, model, and simulate RF power amplifiers within the RF chain targeting up to 18GHzEngineer and optimize 50–100W amplifier designs focusing on small-signal behavior, efficiency, linearity, and thermal managementUtilize GaN and LDMOS technologies—no silicon-based devicesCollaborate across internal manufacturing, testing, and quality teams to rapidly iterate and deliver reliable modules and systemsEnsure designs meet performance targets—including gain, bandwidth, power output, and ruggedness—for high-stakes applicationsSupport the transition from prototype to production, contributing documentation, design reviews, and debugging effortsUphold company standards of engineering excellence, design speed, and collaborative innovationRequirements for RF Design Engineer
