Funciones / Tareas

Función principal y alcance:

-We are seeking an experienced RF / Microwave PCB Designer to lead and execute the layout and design of high-frequency PCBs operating at 40 GHz. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in high frequency layout techniques, controlled-impedance structures, RF stack-up definition, and close collaboration with RF, mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing teams.

-This role is hands-on and requires practical experience translating RF schematics into production-ready, low-loss PCB designs.

Funciones principales:

-         - Design, simulation and layout RF, microwave, and mmWave PCBs (with focus between 20 to 40 GHz)

-         - Define and optimize PCB stack-ups for low-loss, high-frequency operation

-Implement controlled impedance transmission lines (microstrip, stripline, CPW, GCPW)

-         - Perform RF layout best practices:

oVia fencing and grounding strategies

oLaunch transitions (connector-to-PCB, die-to-PCB)

oIsolation and coupling control

oMinimization of parasitics and discontinuities

-         - Collaborate with RF engineers to ensure layout matches circuit intent

-         -   Work with mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing teams on:

oTolerances

oMaterial selection (Rogers, Taconic, Isola, etc.)

oDFM/DFA considerations

oThermal constrains

-         - Support EM simulation feedback and layout iterations

-         - Participate in design reviews, including RF and manufacturing readiness reviews

-         - Generate fabrication and assembly documentation (Gerbers, stack-up drawings, impedance tables)

-         - Support board bring-up, debug, and performance validation.

-         - Experience in space applications a plus.

Formación y Competencias requeridas

-         - Bachelors degree in Electronics Engineering or equivalent.

-         - 5+ years of experience in RF / microwave PCB design

-         - Proven experience designing PCBs operating at high frequency

-         - Strong knowledge of:

oRF materials and laminates

oHigh-frequency PCB fabrication constraints

oImpedance control and loss mechanisms

-         - Hands-on experience with RF connectors and launches (SMP, SMPM, GPPO, coax launches, wirebond, flip-chip)

-         - Proficiency with PCB design tools such as:

oAltium Designer (preferred)

oCadence Allegro / OrCAD

oMentor Xpedition

-         - Proficiency with RF design and simulation tools

oADS

oHFSS

oCST

oAWR Microwave Officce

-         - Ability to read and interpret RF schematics and simulation results

-         - Ability to read and understand parts datasheets

-         - Experience working with multi-disciplinary engineering teams

-         - Desirable/Plus

oPLLs for Variable Local Oscillators

oKnowledge of architectural topologies for frequency synthesis and phase noise

oPLL and VCO integration
