Analog Circuit Designer

Analog Circuit Designer

Mission Microwave Technologies was founded in 2014 to revolutionize the next generation of Solid-State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) and Block Up converters (BUCs). We utilize advanced GaN transistors, unique power-combining technology, and innovative full-system designs to create the industry's most efficient, lightweight, and compact high-power SSPAs.

Our leadership team brings more than 100 years of combined experience delivering high-performance, high-reliability SSPAs to commercial, military, and space customers. In just 10 years, our rapid growth and industry-leading innovation have attracted private-equity ownership and national recognition.

We're proud to be ranked #23 on the Fortune Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production and certified as a Great Place to Work® since 2022.

Mission Microwave's headquarters are located at 6060 Phyllis Drive, Cypress, CA 90603.

As an Analog Circuit Designer, you'll lead the design, development, and optimization of AC-DC and DC-DC converters, filters, distribution, and monitor/control (M&C) boards that power revolutionary SSPAs and BUCs. Your work will enable high-efficiency, high-power RF systems for ground-based, airborne, and space-based applications.

You'll drive technical innovation, mentor engineering teams, and collaborate closely with customers, program managers, RF engineers, and manufacturing teams to ensure every design meets mission-critical performance, reliability, and regulatory standards. This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of analog circuit design, power electronics, and high-reliability RF systems.
