Join Saab as a Senior RF Electrical Engineer, where you'll design and develop cutting-edge RF modules for advanced radar applications, contributing to national defense and security. Bring your expertise in RF design and system integration to a team that values innovation and collaboration.
Key Responsibilities
Design, simulate, and develop discreet RF Tx/Rx modules for radar systems.
Conduct RF system-level analysis, link budget calculations, and trade-off studies.
Select and integrate components such as mixers, amplifiers, oscillators, and filters.
Perform schematic capture, PCB layout reviews, and work closely with layout engineers to ensure optimal high-frequency performance.
Conduct laboratory testing, tuning, and validation of RF modules against specifications.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including firmware, mechanical, and systems engineering to ensure seamless product integration.
Support troubleshooting and root cause analysis for performance anomalies.
Maintain comprehensive documentation for design decisions, test results, and compliance requirements.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, or related field.
5–8 years of experience in RF design, with a focus on radar or similar high-frequency applications (L,S,C, and X band).
Proficiency in RF simulation tools (e.g., Keysight ADS, HFSS, CST, or similar).
Proficiency in schematic capture and PCBA layout tools (e.g. Altium Designer, PADS, Allegro)
Hands-on experience with RF test equipment (VNA, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, power meters).
Solid understanding of RF/microwave circuit theory, impedance matching, noise figure, and gain optimization.
Experience with PCB design for RF and microwave circuits.
Familiarity with military or aerospace standards for RF systems is a plus.
US Citizenship and ability to obtain/maintain a security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
Knowledge of phased-array radar architectures.
Electronics packaging concepts
Familiarity with thermal and mechanical considerations in high-frequency module packaging.
