Radio Frequency Engineer (Elk Grove Village)

Job description :

We are seeking a skilled and motivated

RF Engineer

to design and develop

multi-stage, low-noise, high-gain RF pulse amplifier systems . This role requires hands-on experience in RF circuit design, simulation, and testing, with a strong focus on performance optimization and manufacturability.

Key Responsibilities

Design, simulate, implement, and test multi-stage low-noise RF amplifiers.

Select and integrate components such as MMICs, LNAs, bias networks, and digital attenuators.

Operate and interpret results from RF test equipment including signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and vector network analyzers.

Utilize commercial RF simulation tools such as ADS, CST Studio, and Ansys HFSS.

Design and integrate shielding solutions for sensitive electronic circuits.

Perform schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium Designer preferred).

Calculate and optimize noise figure and signal-to-noise ratio.

Collaborate cross-functionally with other engineering disciplines to ensure manufacturable and scalable solutions.

Recommend and implement design improvements based on performance data and feedback.

Ensure designs meet relevant certification and compliance standards.

Stay current with industry trends to drive innovation and continuous improvement.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience modeling and simulating analog circuits using LTspice, QUCS, QSPICE, Tina TI, or similar tools.

Familiarity with high-speed digital signal integrity analysis and best practices.
