What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical Engineer position at KYOCERA AVX Components Corporation?
The Electrical Engineer II (RF & Analog Design) will be responsible for the design, analysis, and validation of high-performance analog and RF circuits for advanced electronic systems. This role focuses on developing low-noise, high-stability circuits supporting precision oscillators, frequency control devices, and communication subsystems. The engineer will work cross-functionally with systems, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to take designs from concept through production, ensuring technical excellence, reliability, and manufacturability.
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Develop and design analog and digital complex components and systems and make all the necessary calculations to support the design.
- Develop low-noise, high-stability circuits supporting precision oscillators, frequency control devices, and communication subsystems.
- Develop, perform and analyze results for all tests to verify and validate the design.
- Develop and maintain all design documentation and present the objective evidence to the Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) at the lifecycle gates (SRR, PDR, CDR, MRR, TRR, PRR).
- Work cross-functionally with systems, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to take designs from concept through production, ensuring technical excellence, reliability, and manufacturability.
- Identify and manage issues and potential risks to the product development, and work with the team to resolve and mitigate.
- Organize and prepare daily tasks to maximize time management and identify productivity opportunities within the development lifecycle.
- Team with multi-functional groups to execute NPIs, communicate issues and risks, provide technical support, and manage Non-Conforming Reports (NCR) and Engineering Change Orders (ECO) during product sustainability phase.
- Identifies and manages the company's budgetary plan for the objectives assigned and make adjustments to minimize cost impacts.
- On time delivery of all tasks, communicate with the team, and be a great team player and leader.
- Track individual performance to assigned activities-, short- and long-term goals and objectives.
- Works with little direction and within a structured process, system and team environment to deliver on department and company requirements.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, RF or related field; Master’s preferred.
- 4–7 years of hands-on experience in analog and RF circuit design and test.
- Proficiency with design and simulation tools (Altium, OrCAD, ADS, LTSpice, etc.).
- Experience with RF test equipment (network/spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators).
- Strong knowledge of impedance matching, noise analysis, filtering, and PCB design for high-frequency circuits.
- Experience with low-phase-noise oscillators, crystal or SAW resonators, or timing subsystems is a plus.
- Familiarity with embedded systems and mixed-signal design integration.
- Excellent analytical, communication, and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills.
- Ability to work independently on complex technical problems and meet project milestones in a fast-paced environment.
