Entry Level Electrical Engineer
This Electrical Engineer role focuses on the design, simulation, and production of advanced RF and microwave components within a dynamic manufacturing environment. You will work across the full product lifecycle—from initial concept and PCB prototyping through to production—while collaborating closely with customers and internal engineering teams. The position offers the opportunity to wear many hats, contribute directly to product success, and grow with an organization that has an exciting forecast and strong growth ahead.
Responsibilities- Design passive RF and microwave components, including high-power, wideband directional couplers and combiners.
- Use electromagnetic (EM) simulation software to design and verify complex RF and microwave structures.
- Apply CAD software tools to create complex RF circuit layouts and PCB designs.
- Build PCB prototypes and validate electrical circuitry and RF performance.
- Conduct testing using network analyzers and other relevant test equipment to ensure performance and reliability.
- Take assigned projects from initial concept and prototyping phases through to full production, ensuring design integrity and manufacturability.
- Lead or contribute to production and fabrication activities related to RF circuit design and PCB assemblies.
- Collaborate closely with customers, participate in meetings, and translate customer requirements into robust engineering solutions.
- Work with an 8-person engineering team to support ongoing projects, troubleshoot issues, and drive continuous improvement in design and production processes.
- Document designs, test results, and engineering changes clearly to support manufacturing and future product iterations.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE or MSEE).
- Coursework or demonstrated knowledge in RF and microwave components, theory, and microwave engineering.
- Hands-on ability to build PCB prototypes and work with electrical circuitry and PCB assemblies.
- Experience with PCB design and production processes.
- Experience performing EM simulations for RF and microwave structures.
- Proficiency in designing RF and microwave filters, couplers, and other passive components.
- Testing experience using network analyzers for RF and microwave circuits.
- Strong electrical engineering and electrical design skills, particularly in RF and microwave applications.
- Academic performance with a GPA of 3.4 or higher.
- Ability to take projects from concept through prototyping and into production.
Skills & Qualifications
- Experience with Microwave Office or other electromagnetic (EM) simulation tools.
- Familiarity with CAD software such as AutoCAD, Solid Works, or Inventor for mechanical and layout design.
- Background in power electronics and RF power component design.
- Ability to work closely with customers and cross-functional teams in a manufacturing environment.
- Comfort with multitasking and wearing many hats in a mid-size organization.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and documentation skills.
- Excellent communication skills for participating in meetings and presenting technical information.
This role is based in a manufacturing setting within a mid-size company, working as part of an engineering team of approximately eight professionals. The standard schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The dress code is business casual. You will regularly interact with production personnel, participate in customer meetings, and see products through the full manufacturing process. The environment supports hands-on engineering work with RF and microwave components, PCB design and fabrication, and the use of EM simulation and CAD tools.
