Full job description

The Opportunity: We are seeking a skilled and experienced senior electrical engineer, with a focus on RF design, to join our dynamic team. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electrical system for Safran products. As there is a focus on RF design, the ideal candidate brings a solid foundation in RF engineering and is comfortable stepping into an RF role while also supporting general hardware development activities. This role requires an understanding of electric components, circuit design, and PCB layout, as well as proficiency in industry-standard software and tools. The engineer will work through the full hardware development lifecycle: from concept, schematic capture, and layout review to hardware integration and system validation. Our Technology:Were the world leader in Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (R-PNT) solutions that improve the reliability, performance, and safety of critical high-risk operations, even in GPS/GNSS denied environments. We provide virtually fail-safe GNSS and PNT solutions and applications for military and government contract customers. How I will Contribute: * Design, development, build and test PCB prototypes, conduct debugging and troubleshooting to identify and resolve issues. Lead smaller projects related to large scale design efforts. * Design, develop and test electrical hardware systems and components for electrical systems * Perform detailed circuit design, simulation, analysis (analog, digital, and/or mixed signal) * Guide integration, optimization, and troubleshooting the system performance of RF/photonic subsystems * Support system-level analysis for RF performance, including impedance matching, isolation, noise figure, and signal chain integrity * Design, simulate, and validate RF circuits including match networks, filters, amplifiers, and interfaces to agile or software-defined transceivers * Work with counterparts to translate component-level specifications into system requirements, and flag where performance claims wont translate into full RF performance * Support qualification and validation of key RF test infrastructure * Develop and maintain electrical component and hardware specifications and design documentation * Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, mechanical engineers and manufacturing, to ensure timely delivery of high-quality products * Work with a cross-functional team of engineers, providing technical leadership across projects * Collaborate on schematic capture, PCB layout, and component selection ensuring best practices for both RF and mixed-signal performance. * Develop and execute test plans and procedures to ensure the quality and reliability of electrical hardware systems and components * Create and maintain detailed design documentation, including schematics, layout files, BOMs (Bill of materials) and test plans. * Ensure designs comply with industry standards and regulatory requirements, including MIL-STD, EMI/EMC and safety standards * Develop and maintain relationships with vendors and suppliers to ensure the availability of materials and components * Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure the successful transition of electrical hardware designs to production. * Stay updated with the latest advancements in PCB design, materials and manufacturing processes to continuously improve product quality and efficiency * What You Bring to the role: * 4+ years with A Bachelors, or 2+ years with a masters degree, in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field * Experience in RF and electrical hardware design and validation * Hands-on experience in designing and testing RF systems and subsystems * Proficiency in electrical hardware design tools, such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or OrCAD * Understanding of PCB layout best practices,
