What are the responsibilities and job description for the RF Engineer position at Intra Management Solutions?
A confidential, industry-leading RF/microwave manufacturer is looking for an experienced RF Amplifier Design Engineer to design, develop, and test low noise and medium power amplifiers using both discrete transistor and MMIC technologies. You’ll work across hybrid and surface-mount designs, run linear and nonlinear simulations, support production, and contribute directly to new product development. This is a hands-on engineering role with real visibility inside the organization.
What You’ll Do
-
Design, develop, and test discrete and MMIC-based low noise/medium-power amplifiers
-
Build new RF and microwave circuits, components, and products
-
Perform linear and nonlinear simulations for active and passive circuits
-
Define specs for microwave components and subassemblies
-
Support high-reliability testing and screening requirements
-
Generate design reviews, test reports, and documentation
-
Work with manufacturing teams to ensure efficient build processes
-
Estimate project schedules, track engineering labor, and support technical proposals
What You Need
-
Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering with 4 years experience, or Master’s with 2
-
At least 2 years designing and simulating low noise amplifiers
-
Experience designing passive RF/microwave components (couplers, dividers, attenuators)
-
Experience designing for manufacturability and managing engineering projects
-
Proficient with linear CAE tools plus exposure to nonlinear CAE
-
Hands-on lab/test experience: VNAs, noise figure analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power meters, signal generators
-
Ability to work under a microscope in a cleanroom environment
-
Familiarity with semiconductor devices like GaAs and GaN
-
Strong communication skills
-
Must be able to obtain a Secret-level security clearance
Preferred Experience
-
Familiarity with MIL-specs: MIL-PRF-38534, MIL-STD-202
-
Experience aligning and tuning fine-pitch circuits under a microscope
-
Knowledge of oscillator, synthesizer, PIN-diode, and filter design
-
System-level cascade and spur analysis
-
Proficiency with Keysight ADS, RFPro, Ansys HFSS, and EM simulation tools
-
CAD familiarity: AutoCAD, Inventor
-
Design/test experience up to 26 GHz or higher (40 GHz preferred)
-
Hybrid chip-and-wire and PCB SMT manufacturing exposure
-
Wire bonding experience
