Job Description

SUMMARY:

Analogic corporation is seeking a motivated senior RF engineer to be part of a dynamic RF design team to design and test new generation RF amplifiers in LF to VHF frequency range and up to 20kW of RF power for industrial/medical applications with substantial growth potential. The successful candidate will be responsible for the design, development, and test of power RF products. The position requires strong knowledge of electrical engineering, and RF circuits principles and concepts. This role requires a hands-on engineer with good problem-solving skills and the ability to quickly learn new technology and adjust to a dynamic work environment. This position is based in Peabody, MA.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES:

• Design part/all of PCB-level RF, analog and power electronic circuits to meet product specification and cost requirements
• Collaborates with mechanical engineering, firmware, software, and PCB design teams to yield outstanding new products
• Able to identify and troubleshoot fundamental design issues
• Comfortable working in a lab environment to assemble, solder, test, and troubleshoot the design
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a development team to achieve the project goals
• Fosters innovative thinking within the group by initiating continuous improvement discussions on all aspects of product design and development
• Maintains awareness of new component developments and emerging technologies. Uses and recommends them for new designs where appropriate to achieve cost, performance, and size goals
• Tests and validates existing RF circuitry
• Willingness and openness to learn new concepts and apply it to new designs

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

• Sc. in Electrical Engineering (MSEE is a plus), with 6+ years of established RF design experience.

COMPETENCIES/QUALIFICATIONS:

• Strong RF circuit design fundamentals/experience
• Experience with RF power amplifier designs from milliwatts, mW, to kilowatts, kW, of RF power
• Able to use test equipment such as oscilloscope, network analyzers, signal generators, power meters and spectrum analyzers
• Power amplifier design experience in LF/HF/VHF frequencies (mainly 0.5 MHz – 150 MHz range)
• Analog circuit design experience
• Strong background and experience in impedance matching, transmission line transformers and knowledge of radio wave propagation fundamentals
• Experience with all phases of PCB design flow – specification, schematic capture and layout. The candidate should be able to create their own design schematic
• Working knowledge of PCB design tools (Orcad Capture, CADENCE)

DESIRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience with RF simulation tools, Ansys HFSS is a plus
• ORCAD Pspice circuit simulation experience is highly desirable
• Able to develop documentation for own design
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
