Description

  • Design and develop BAW filters from concept through production, including specification definition, simulation, characterization, testing, architecture design, and performance optimization.
  • Perform advanced EM simulations using HFSS, ADS, COMSOL, or similar tools to model filter performance and improve manufacturability.
  • Design RF modules that integrate BAW filters with other components such as amplifiers, switches, antennas, layout, and packaging.
  • Optimize filter performance for insertion loss, return loss, bandwidth, and out-of-band rejection while meeting size and cost targets.
  • Collaborate with process engineers, layout designers, and system architects to integrate filters into larger RF systems.
  • Develop test plans, perform RF measurements, and validate performance using network analyzers and spectrum analyzers.
  • Create design reports, simulation results, and technical documentation to support reviews and production handoff.
  • Stay current on BAW technology trends and contribute to next-generation RF solutions.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or another engineering discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience in RF filter design with a focus on BAW or SAW.
  • Experience with EM simulation tools such as HFSS, CST, ADS, or COMSOL.
  • Experience using radio test and measurement equipment, including spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector signal generators, and network analyzers.
  • Master’s degree or PhD in electrical engineering with emphasis in RF/antenna engineering (preferred).
  • Experience with 5G, Wi-Fi, or IoT RF front-end module design (preferred).
  • Familiarity with MEMS fabrication processes for BAW filters (preferred).
  • Knowledge of mixed-signal design and co-simulation with analog/digital circuits (preferred).
  • Experience with scripting languages such as Python or MATLAB for simulation and test automation (preferred).
  • Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed to meet critical milestones.
  • Must meet ITAR eligibility requirements as a U.S. citizen/national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, asylee, or otherwise authorized by the U.S. Department of State.
