Senior RF​/Microwave Engineer – Actively Our Engineering Team

An exciting opportunity exists for experienced RF/Microwave/CAD engineers to join our MMIC and module design and characterization teams in the RF Microelectronics/Module Development & Foundry Services department at Raytheon in Andover, MA. The department develops, designs, and manufactures compound semiconductor devices, microwave/millimeter-wave integrated circuits, and modules for defense applications.

Role: RF/Microwave/CAD Engineer – responsible for the complete product cycle from MMIC and module modeling, design, CAD layout, test, and prototyping.

• Design and/or test MMIC or module products and test fixtures at RF/microwave frequencies
• Develop insights that extend your knowledge in the RF/Microwave field and form the basis of new concepts, theories, and products
• Design RF structures and transitions for multi-layer, multi-channel RF modules and analog circuitry enabling both receive and transmit behavior
• Consult across MMIC design, module design, test and assembly teams
• Create layouts and perform design checks and physical verification on RF Integrated Circuits (RFIC) and Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMIC)
• Prepare designs for photomask order and delivery into Raytheon’s III-V Semiconductor Fab
• Act independently to troubleshoot, uncover and resolve issues
• Perform RF/microwave/millimeter-wave measurements on GaAs and GaN devices, modules and MMICs (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits)
• Perform fixtured and on-wafer probe measurements
• Assemble RF/microwave/millimeter-wave test systems
• Use software to control test equipment and plot test results
• Research and develop new technology that results in new product/business opportunities for Raytheon
• Serve as a technical resource and represent the Department as a technical contact to Raytheon and external customers

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years experience
• Experience in RF/microwave/mm-wave design, layout, reliability or test

• Broad background in theory and techniques of microwave/mm-wave circuits, design, and test
• Experience with Circuit Simulation tools such as ADS, and EM tools such as HFSS, Momentum
• Experience designing RF/Microwave MMIC circuits, modules or test fixtures
• Experience in thermal modeling and analysis
• Experience with different topology trade-offs, process and active/passive component selection, system/sub‑system level, gain‑loss analysis, and flowing down requirements from the system to the component level
• Layout experience in Mentor Graphics’ Xpedition, Cadence Virtuoso or AutoCAD
• Experience with analytical tools such as Matlab, Python, or JMP
• Experience with RF/Microwave test equipment such as Performance Network Analyzers (PNAs), Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs), Spectrum Analyzers, Real‑time Spectrum Analyzers (RSAs), Noise Figure Analyzers, Load‑Pull systems, etc.
• Experience with GaAs and/or GaN MMIC devices
• Experience with integrated circuit layout and physical verification using Cadence Virtuoso software tools
• Familiarity with semiconductor processing and concepts, e.g. technologies like GaAs, GaN, SOI
• Programming skills such as scripting, Python, etc.
• Knowledge of the Linux Operating System

• Relocation assistance available
• Salary range: $86,800 – $165,200 USD (good faith estimate)
• Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short‑term disability, long‑term disability, 401(k) match, flexible spending accounts, flexible work schedules, employee assistance program, Employee Scholar Program, parental leave, paid time off, and holidays
• Short‑term and long‑term incentive compensation programs (subject to eligibility)
• U.S.
