RF Electrical Engineer

POSITION DESCRIPTION:

• Coordinate electrical engineering designs and requirements within the Innovative Aerosystems Engineering (Systems, Mechanical, Software, etc.) and Certification team.
• Lead and contribute to the design, analysis, and simulation of analog and digital RF circuits, including RF front ends, mixers, oscillators, amplifiers, filters, and high-speed digital interfaces supporting radios and transponders.
• Perform hands-on circuit board bring-up, RF tuning, troubleshooting, and validation using laboratory test equipment (e.g., spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes).
• Provide hardware design support across the full product lifecycle—from concept, architecture, and design through verification, qualification, certification, and production.
• Apply sound RF engineering practices to support airborne communication and surveillance products, ensuring robust performance in harsh electromagnetic environments.
• Design for and evaluate EMI/EMC performance, including grounding, shielding, filtering, and layout techniques to meet aviation regulatory and customer requirements.
• Support environmental, EMI/EMC, and functional testing activities for airborne equipment, including analysis of test results and root-cause investigations.
• Contribute to technical documentation such as schematics, design analyses, test procedures, and reports in support of internal reviews and certification activities.
• Apply engineering creativity and discipline to advance the IA product line and support continuous improvement initiatives.
