About the Company

Join a cutting-edge engineering team working on next-generation RF and microwave solutions that enable mission-critical defense applications. Our company designs high-performance, software-defined systems that push the boundaries of what's possible with RF power and intelligent signal control.

Role Summary

We're looking for an experienced RF Design Engineer to take ownership of the design, simulation, and testing of high-power RF amplifier modules. You'll work across the full development lifecycle-evaluating components, designing circuits, integrating off-the-shelf parts, and verifying system performance. If you're passionate about RF design and want to contribute to real-world solutions in national defense and security, this is the role for you.

What You'll Do

• Design and simulate high-power RF amplifiers for CW and pulsed applications (sub-10GHz)
• Evaluate and integrate off-the-shelf components such as MMICs, discrete transistors, splitters, and combiners
• Guide PCB layout, schematic capture, and support board fabrication and bring-up
• Perform bench testing using equipment such as VNAs, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and load pull setups
• Optimize circuit performance for gain, efficiency, thermal stability, and impedance matching
• Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, and systems engineering to ensure first-pass success
• Develop test plans and support system / subsystem validation
• Assist with manufacturing and process improvement initiatives
• Interface with vendors to evaluate new components and capabilities
