Junior RF Hardware Design Engineer

Experience: 1–2 Years (Strong RF Academic Projects Considered as Experience)

Location: Trivandrum

Type: Full Time

Summary: We are building advanced MMICs, Front-End Modules (FEMs), and phased array systems operating at microwave and mmWave frequencies.

We are looking for engineers who can translate RF theory into working hardware — from evaluation boards to system-level integration.

This is a hands-on RF board design role with real product ownership.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design phased array antenna and mimo antennas
  • Design RF evaluation boards for PA/LNA/Switch MMICs and FEMs
  • Develop controlled-impedance PCB layouts for microwave frequencies
  • Work on stack-up planning, grounding strategy, and thermal considerations
  • Perform board bring-up and RF characterization (S-parameters, gain, power)
  • Debug mismatch, oscillations, parasitic, and stability issues
  • Support validated modules into higher-level system integration

Eligibility

  • 1–2 years of industry experience OR
  • BTech / MTech project in PA, LNA, RF switch, or RF board design
    (Serious project-level RF work will be considered valid experience)

Required Technical Strength

  • Strong fundamentals in:
  • S-parameters
  • Smith chart
  • Impedance matching
  • Stability analysis
  • Clear understanding of RF PCB design principles
  • Hands-on lab exposure
  • Experience with Keysight ADS
  • Exposure to Ansys HFSS or CST Studio Suite preferred
  • Familiarity with PCB design tools is a plus

Who Should Apply

  • Engineers comfortable deriving solutions — not copying templates
  • Candidates who understand why matching networks fail in real hardware
  • Individuals excited about building mm Wave hardware, not just simulating it

What You Will Gain

  • Direct exposure to GaN/GaAs RF hardware development
  • Experience across evaluation boards to system-level modules
  • Fast technical growth in a deep-tech semiconductor environment
  • Early ownership and high-impact responsibility
