RF Electrical Engineer

Hi, Position: RF Electrical Engineer (radar Technology) Location: Cambridge, MA (DAYONE ONSITE) Duration: 6+ Months JOB DESCRIPTION: Skills:

• 7+ years of RF experience in radar hardware development, including defining requirements, schematic design, layout, and overseeing the manufacturing of PCBAs.
• Experience with radar design - i.e. translating FCC requirements into design specifications, link budget analysis, impact of antenna geometry on gain pattern.
• Experience with schematic design and layout - i.e. component selection, placement, feedline routing, impact of via/trace geometries on insertion loss.
• Manufacturing - Interface with PCB fab and assembly shops; Define the stackup; Anticipate and identify design issues that would impact manufacturing reliability.
• Comfortable bringing-up and testing radar boards using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, horns, and probes.
• Comfortable guiding other engineers to run Ansys HFSS, interpreting the results, and providing advice on how to adjust geometries to improve performance.
• Digital circuit design and layout, with a skill to layout and isolate high-frequency (up to 30 Ghz) traces.
• Experience with Xilinx and Intel Altera FPGAs
• Able to independently collect and analyze data to innovate and improve the performance of radar-based hardware and associated analogue and digital circuitry
• Able to work collaboratively with RF engineers on analog electrical engineering tasks and challenges.
• Able to work collaboratively with a range of external third parties and vendors.

• High attention to detail with strong written and verbal communication skills and technical documentation
• Creative thinking and problem solving
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• The following skills are also highly desirable:
• working knowledge of radar products, commercial acumen,
• experience with novel product design,
• Master's degree preferred or with equivalent work experience.

• Understand the commercialization objectives and how they influence hardware choices.
• To lead and manage the component and module selection effort.
• Design and layout those components with complex multi-layer PCBs mixing high frequency analog and digital components.
• Manage PCB fabrication and assembly.
• Communicate the radar's theory of operation with our machine learning team.
• Collaboratively work with and coordinate RF engineers in the design of the Analog circuits and antennas.
