Perform feasibility assessment of emerging technologies through research, prototyping, early modeling, and rapid experimentation.
Drive concepts through prototyping, development, V&V, compliance (EMC/safety, RoHS/REACH), NPI, and sustaining activities with minimal oversight—determining methods and procedures for new assignments.
Lead and review advanced RF system modeling, troubleshooting, and simulation‑to‑measurement correlation (e.g., LTspice, Ansys Designer, SI/PI simulation).
Assess system‑level performance including sensing paths, signal conditioning, and inter‑device interfaces (SPI, I²C) when applicable to RF subsystems.
Review and strengthen test strategies, validation approaches, and design rigor are applied consistently across project teams
Mentor other engineers, guide design reviews, and promote consistent engineering rigor across the team. Apply or support design controls, risk analysis, and robust documentation.
Build strong cross‑functional relationships, influencing decisions through well‑supported technical rationale.
Occasional domestic/international travel (up to 10%) to support supplier builds, customer evaluations, or factory activities.
Product Development Technical Lead
Technical Lead for selected product development projects, owning the integrated technical direction from concept through release while partnering with project management on scope, schedule, cost, resource, and risk planning. Ensure technical direction aligns with product roadmaps, emerging technologies, customer needs, and business priorities
Owns cross-discipline technical alignment across Mechanical, Analog, RF, Digital, Calibration, Driver, System, Test, and other contributing functions to ensure project-level design decisions are coherent, traceable, and executable.
Drive requirements management for assigned projects, including translation of product and customer needs into unambiguous and nonconflicting system, subsystem, and discipline-level requirements, specifications, acceptance criteria, and verification traceability.
Drive project-level technical risk management by identifying risks, defining mitigation plans, and ensuring risks are communicated clearly for decision making.
Owns V&V strategy for assigned projects, ensuring test plans, coverage, evidence, and closure criteria demonstrate that requirements are met across all relevant disciplines.
Portfolio Architecture & Technical Strategy
Support RF architecture definition across product lines, ensuring consistency, scalability, and reuse of designs and approaches
Provide subject matter expertise for multiple areas as an independent reviewer for multiple portfolio projects
Identify and drive architectural investments, technology transitions, and design standards that improve long‑term product performance and development efficiency
Resolve complex, cross-team tradeoffs involving performance, cost, manufacturability, schedule, and intangibles such as brand value and IP
Anticipate future technology trends and assess applicability to the RF Test portfolio through targeted research and prototyping
WHO YOU ARE: You pick up on the need to change personal, interpersonal, and leadership behavior quickly. You find and champion the best creative ideas and actively move them into implementation. You persist in the face of challenges and setbacks. You adjust communication content and style to meet the needs of diverse stakeholders. You are decisive and make high-quality decisions, even when based on incomplete information or in the face of uncertainty.
FOR THIS ROLE, YOU WILL NEED
12+ years with a Bachelors in EE/ECE; OR 10+ with adan vanced degree (Masters or Ph.D.)
Proven experience designing, simulating, verifying, and releasing RF circuits/subsystems using industry‑standard tools.
Mastery with RF instrumentation (VNA, spectrum/signal analyzers, vector generators, oscilloscopes).
Ability to troubleshoot, simulate, and resolve embedded or mixed‑signal issues at the board/system level.
Programming or scripting proficiency (Python required; MATLAB/LabVIEW beneficial).
Excellent communication, critical thinking, and technical decision‑making abilities; demonstrated ability to lead through influence and mentor engineers.
Demonstrated research and prototyping to assess emerging technologies and de‑risk architectures.
Experience with end‑to‑end ownership from concept to ramp; DFM/DFT/NPI and supplier engagement experience.
Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now and in the future
Individuals with temporary visas such as E, F-1 (including those with OPT or CPT), H-1, H-2, L-1, B, J or TN, or who need sponsorship for work authorization now or in the future, are not eligible for hire. MUST be US Citizen or possess a Green Card
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS THAT SET YOU APART
Expertise in SI/PI for mixed‑signal RF boards; grounding/shielding best practices and robust layout for isolation and stability.
Working knowledge of requirements management, risk management, and project planning.
Familiarity with regulatory and material/compliance constraints (e.g., EMC/safety, IEEE, MIL, RoHS/REACH) relevant to our markets.
Test and Measurement industry experience
