    Job Description

    Applied Technology is seeking a highly talented and technically strong individual to fulfill an RF Circuit Design Engineering role. In this technical position, the role will have unique and varied responsibilities. Candidates for this position are engineers with diverse knowledge and a wide variety of interests.

    As a key resource across multiple products, the successful candidate will handle these type of tasks:

    Generate schematics that include RF, Analog, power circuits, interface logic, sensors, peripherals, etc.

    Create hardware designs with a focus on Discrete RF circuits, PAs, LNAs, backend, etc.

    Develop RF front ends operating from sub-GHz up to mmWave

    Simulate circuit performance using ADS, CST, Spice, and other simulation software.


    Perform RF lineup calculation for both Rx (Noise Figure, IM, etc.) and Tx (Multiple PA technologies and modes of operation, harmonic suppression, etc).

    Design and optimize circuits for minimal current drain to maximize battery life

    Implement analog circuits (A/D & D/A converters, op-amps, LEDs, etc), power supplies & voltage regulators

    Use schematic and layout tools (Cadence a plus) for PCB routing, high speed interface, impedance matching, power routing, etc.

    Drive product and feature requirements, architecture, design, and test strategy with customers and engineering teams

    Write test procedures, interface control documents and other documentation

    Support full product development life-cycle: architecture, design, bring-up, integration of initial HW/SW, factory support, test & validation, and customer support

    Seek out opinions and build trust & buy-in across all functional teams (hardware, software, FPGA, mechanical, etc), as well as management and customers

    You must be a flexible, results-oriented problem-solver who requires minimal supervision.

    Projects can vary greatly from one to the next, so you must thrive on variety and enjoy taking on new challenges.

    Discrete RF circuit design experience required including amplifiers, transmitters, receivers, synthesizers, etc.

    5+ years RF Circuit design experience


    Thorough understanding of RF test equipment and measurement tools,such as signal analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, oscilloscopes, soldering stations, etc.

    Detailed understanding of RF circuits simulation tools (ADS, MATLAB, HFSS, CST, PSPICE, etc.), and lab automation (Python, LabView).

    Experience with Schematic capture and layout tools, Cadence Allegro a plus

    Wide breadth of Hardware design preferred - including power supplies, A/D's, peripherals, batteries, charging circuits, etc

    Product & feature architecture, requirements, design, and development experience

    Understanding of Antennas - design, simulation tools and measurements preferred

    Self starter who can work independently and as a member of a team


    As you will be working in a small project team and regularly interacting with customers, excellent communication and teamwork skills are essential.
