    Default job background
    Description

    Rydberg Technologies is seeking a dynamic Senior Radio Frequency (RF) Systems Engineer to be responsible for designing, developing, and implementing RF systems with expertise spanning from software-defined radio (SDR) and RF machine learning to hardware development and engineering. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver solutions for rapid identification of RF waveforms, signal processing, direction finding, and other RF-based applications. This hands-on role will involve close coordination with quantum physicists and engineers, critical to integrating RF systems with quantum sensor devices and new frontiers in sensing technology. We seek high-caliber candidates who are solution-oriented, organized, self-motivated, have an interest in top-level project planning, give attention to the finest project details, and have the ability to both work autonomously and in a dynamic, fast-paced team environment.

    Key Responsibilities:

    • Design, develop, and implement software-defined radio (SDR) solutions for advanced RF applications, leveraging GPU acceleration and RF machine learning techniques.
    • Collaborate with physicists and hardware engineers to design and optimize antenna and electronic systems for various RF applications.
    • Defining and testing specifications of RF systems, antenna receivers, to ensure optimal performance.
    • Develop and optimize front-end electronics for RF systems, including low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), mixers, and filters, to achieve desired performance specifications.
    • Design and implement RF electronics for RF systems, such as frequency synthesizers, power amplifiers, and RF switches, to meet system requirements.
    • Conduct RF test and measurement activities, including RF characterization, performance testing, and validation, using RF test equipment.
    • Research, analyze, and evaluate RF waveforms to develop algorithms and models for signal identification, classification, and direction finding.
    • Integrate RF systems with quantum sensors to explore new sensing capabilities and applications.
    • Provide technical expertise and guidance to junior engineers and support staff.
    • Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in RF engineering, signal processing, hardware design, electronic warfare.

    • Engineering Design: Experience in sophisticated engineering design (SolidWorks) and electromagnetic simulation (COMSOL).
    • Embedded Systems Development: Experience in developing embedded systems for real-time processing and control in RF applications.
    • Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Proficiency in DSP algorithms and techniques for filtering, modulation, demodulation, and signal enhancement in RF systems.
    • FPGA Programming: Knowledge of FPGA programming languages such as Verilog or VHDL for implementing digital signal processing algorithms and RF signal processing tasks.
    • Antenna Design and Simulation: Experience in antenna design software (e.g., COMSOL) for designing and simulating antenna systems.
    • RF Circuit Design: Ability to design and optimize RF circuits, including RF filters, amplifiers, mixers, and frequency synthesizers, using RF simulation tools (e.g., ADS, Microwave Office).
    • Wireless Communication Protocols: Understanding of wireless communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE, and emerging technologies like 5G.
    • Radio Frequency Identification (RFID): Knowledge of RFID systems and protocols for applications in tracking, identification.
    • Network Protocol Analysis: Familiarity with network protocol analyzers (e.g., Wireshark) for analyzing and troubleshooting RF communication networks.
    • System Integration: Experience in integrating RF systems with other subsystems, such as digital communication systems, GPS receivers, inertial sensors, and navigation systems.
    • Cybersecurity: Understanding of cybersecurity principles and best practices for securing RF communication systems against cyber threats and vulnerabilities.
    • Systems Engineering: Knowledge of systems engineering principles and methodologies for requirements analysis, system architecture design, and system-level integration and testing.
    • Project Management: Experience in project management methodologies and tools for planning, scheduling, and executing RF system development projects.
    • Regulatory Compliance: Understanding of RF regulatory standards and compliance requirements, such as FCC regulations, EMC/EMI standards, and SAR limits.
    • Documentation and Reporting: Ability to create technical documentation, including design specifications, test plans, and reports, to communicate project progress and findings effectively.
    • Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Strong collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, software developers, test engineers, and project managers.

    Qualifications:

    • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field; Master's degree preferred.
    • Minimum of 5 years of experience in RF systems engineering or related field.
    • Strong background in software-defined radio (SDR) development and implementation.
    • Experience in hardware engineering, including design and optimization of antenna systems, front-end electronics, and RF electronics.
    • Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, Python, and MATLAB.
    • Experience with GPU programming and acceleration techniques (e.g., CUDA).
    • Knowledge of radio frequency (RF) machine learning algorithms and techniques.
    • Familiarity with RF signal processing, waveform analysis, spectrum monitoring, and direction finding methods.
    • Experience with RF test and measurement equipment and techniques.
    • Familiarity with quantum sensing technologies and integration with RF systems.
    • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
    • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment.
    • US citizens or green card holders may be given priority due to export controls.
