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
