Summary
Responsible for the design of RF/mmW elements and systems, ensuring that electrical performance, quality, cost and manufacturability requirements are met.
Filtronic Broadband is looking for an RF/mmW engineer to join our team to work on a range of exciting products from conception through to volume production. With a wide range of design tools, experienced engineers and in-house mmW manufacturing capabilities, you will be able to develop your own skills and experience designing new products as part of the Filtronic team.
- Our products range from low volume niche opportunity devices to high volume telecommunications and defence equipment.
- Full responsibility for the design of RF/mmW sub-circuits, sub-modules and systems within telecommunications and defence products.
- Detailed RF/mmW specification, design, simulation and realisation, ideally including:
- Transmission lines
- Filters (range of topologies)
- Coupler design
- Component selection (ICs/MMICs)
- System line-up analysis
- Thermal, MTBF and component derating analysis and reporting in line with company/customer requirements.
- The compilation and checking of design documentation, example: design logbooks, data packs, peer review etc. in preparation for design release and production.
