Job Duties and Responsibilities

ADI’s Aerospace and Defense business is seeking a highly skilled and motivated senior level RF Hardware Engineer to support the transition of advanced RF modules from prototype design to full-scale production. This candidate will have an RF design background and be positioned in the engineering business unit alongside the multi-discipline development teams. The individual will provide leadership over all aspects of design validation in the prototype phase, and work to implement processes and design improvements to ensure high yields as the product transitions into a production environment.

To succeed, a deep module design and test background will be required to ensure efficient deployment of products. A successful candidate will tightly interface with both design engineering and manufacturing operations to understand requirements, theory of design operation, and risks associated with yielding hardware in production. This role is critical in optimizing manufacturing processes, improving product yields through design best practices, and ensuring high-performance microwave assemblies meet stringent customer requirements.

Products cover a range of military, commercial, and satellite applications. Microwave assemblies include amplifiers, up/down converters, synthesizers, and high-speed data converters. Principal job responsibilities include:

• Full life cycle system design and ownership including collecting requirements, signal chain simulations, schematic design, component selection, supervision or completion of layout, bring-up, test, debug and system integration.
• Design and evaluate complex multi-chip designs and architectures from DC to 55GHz+
• Identify viable architectures, complete system and chip-level design trades including frequency planning, spur analysis, phase noise, gain, IP2/IP3, and noise figure performance.
• Review multilayer printed circuit boards paying attention to high-speed effects, signal flow, and proper design rule a
