Electrical Engineer RF / Microwave Power Electronics - Champaign, IL at .

Electrical Engineer

You will become a SME for RF module and integrated Microwave pallet design. You will be responsible for component selection, circuit layout, assembly, testing, debugging, and validation for RF/MW subsystems working closely with R&D for system-level prototype integration.  

Primary Responsibilities:

• Develop RF/MW power electronics subsystems from conceptual design through electronics test/debug into prototype and production assembly deliverables. 
• Support RF/MW electromagnetics design, simulation, and testing for R&D teams. 
• Communicate consistently and openly with engineers, technicians, and managers.
• Manage continuous improvement goals across product lines, manage supply chain obsolescence, and mitigate risks.
• Operate and characterize particle accelerator and plasma source subsystems vs. intended requirements specifications.

• Minimum 7+ years’ electrical / electronic work experiences
• PCB layout, proven ability to multitask (e.g., handle projects in both R&D prototyping environment and production facility) 
• RF/microwave circuit, cavity and antenna design experience and/or 3D electromagnetic simulation experience using Sonnet, COMSOL, CST Microwave Studio or Ansys HFSS
• Experience with high-power staged GaN or LDMOS solid-state, or high-power tube amplifiers
• Analog/digital communications and controls 
• High-voltage design experience (>1kVdc) 
• Analog/digital communications and controls 
• RF/microwave circuit, cavity and antenna design experience and/or 3D electromagnetic simulation experience using Sonnet, COMSOL, CST Microwave Studio or Ansys HFSS
• Solid background in RF/Microwave Electromagnetic Simulation, Antenna Design & Fabrication
• Experience with high power tube amplifiers and pulsed RF/microwave circuits
• Proficient with microwave test equipment, vector network analyzer, diagnostic tools, electrical schematics, and mechanical drawings
• Comfortable interfacing with mechanical design, such as SolidWorks
• CNC mill, PCB fabrication, and fabrication experience in machine shop
• MCAD design experience to compliment ECAD background.
• Prior design or testing experience to meet UL, CAS, SEMI, IEC or CE standards.
