Job Title

Senior Design Engineer

Role Summary

Responsible for development of BAW and SAW filtering components and front-end modules for mobile RF applications. Collaborate with process, characterization, test and product teams to design, simulate, and transfer RF filter devices to production.

Based in Apopka, FL; work involves device design, simulation, layout, characterization and manufacturing support.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Typical guidance: BSEE + ~5 years, MSEE + ~2–3 years, or PhD; equivalent industry or academic experience acceptable.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include device design, simulation, characterization and production transfer.

• Design BAW and SAW microwave-acoustic devices and filters (bandpass, ladder, notch, CRF, acoustic-assisted, etc.).
• Perform acoustic and electromagnetic simulations using commercial and internal tools; produce final device layouts for mask creation.
• Support feasibility studies, technical competitive analyses and new product definition with marketing and project leads.
• Collaborate with process and R&D engineers on fabrication variations and capabilities.
• Work with characterization and test engineers to evaluate and diagnose devices using RF/microwave test equipment.
• Document product and design information; support transfer of new products to production.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design flow, methods and cycle time.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills are listed first; nice-to-have items follow.

• RF circuit design experience (microwave resonators, filters, couplers, antennas, amplifiers).
• EM simulation experience (HFSS or equivalent) and layout design/troubleshooting skills.
• Impedance matching, tuning, and filter component evaluation and integration experience.
• RF device characterization and system-level measurement experience.
• Knowledge of microelectronic fabrication, high-volume manufacturing and statistical/process-improvement methods.
• Experience working with characterization, test and product engineering teams for product transfer.
• Direct BAW or SAW design experience preferred.
• Programming/scripting skills and/or MATLAB (desired).
• General knowledge of wireless protocols and communication standards (desired).

Education Requirements

Typical qualifications: BSEE with ~5 years of relevant experience, MSEE with ~2–3 years, or PhD. Fields: Electrical Engineering or related technical disciplines. Equivalent industry or academic experience will be considered.
