Radio Frequency Millimeter-Wave Engineer IV

The RF Millimeter-Wave Engineer IV will be a senior contributor who will work with effective procedures to perform assigned tasks by working cross-functionally with Engineering, Operations, Suppliers and Customers.

This senior level engineer provides engineering services for RF/Microwave/ Millimeter communications hardware systems for defense application including responsibility for technical proposals, prototype to production, performance, customer presentations, schedule, and cost requirements. May lead a team of engineers on assigned projects.

Essential Functions: •End to End Systems analysis, model and simulate circuit or system performance usinganalytical tools, Cascade analysis of up/down converters.•Detailed analysis and design of RF (from VHF through millimeter-wave) and mixed-signal communications hardware components, including digital receiver subsystems and exciters(front ends, IF sections, phase-lock loops, AGC loops, synthesizers, A/D and D/A conversion).•Filter modeling, analysis and design.•System integration, test and development of RF/millimeter-wave communications hardwarefor spaceflight.•Investigate; evaluate new communications technologies for spaceflight applications.•Work with interdisciplinary teams to ensure that the designs meet the customers electrical, environmental as well as internal manufacturing requirements and standards.•Document new designs per established guidelines including but not limited to simulations,test circuit measurements and tolerance analysis.•Provide appropriate input to the development of test procedures, fixtures and software.•Respond to RFQ/RFPs input & quote information relative to Engineering & Production costs.•Any other task assigned by your supervisor or management
