Senior Radio Frequency Engineer

Direct message the job poster from ZeroPhase

ZeroPhase develops sovereign, software-defined connectivity systems that are resilient and available at scale.

We are a highly experienced, motivated, and ambitious team of engineers and innovators working with intensity and focus. What drives us is simple: to set a new standard in connectivity by combining performance, trust, and scalability - and to lay the foundation for the next generation of interconnected communication systems.

Our mission is clear - to make sovereign, software-defined communication systems that are not only state-of-the-art, but also accessible and dependable at scale.

About the Role

Join as an RF/Microwave Engineer to develop next-generation communication systems. You’ll simulate and model RF hardware, design and characterize antennas and circuits, and collaborate across engineering disciplines. Responsibilities include creating electromagnetic models, building prototypes, and developing test solutions. Leveraging expertise in RF design, simulation tools, and automation, you’ll drive innovation in wireless communication.

Responsibilities

• Simulate and model communication systems
• Design, fabricate and characterize prototypes of antennas, feed systems and RF front ends for next-generation software defined data links
• Create electromagnetic simulation models of hardware (antennas, filters, PCB layout) to design and evaluate performance
• Work in close collaboration with EE, ME, DSP and software engineers to design and validate RF systems
• Rapidly develop design validation and production test solutions for our high-volume consumer products
• Write automation software in python to interact with units under test, test equipment, instrumentation, and documentation systems

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics or other engineering discipline

Required Skills

• 3+ years of research and/or industry experience in the areas of RF/microwave circuit design
• 1+ years of experience using one of the 3D EM simulation tools (CST, HFSS, FEKO, SEMCAD, EMPro, TICRA or XFDTD)
• Experience with design of linear and non-linear circuits such as power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, mixers, filters and PLLs
• Thorough understanding of RF passive components
• Familiar with radio related test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector signal generator, network analyzers
• Knowledge of digital communication systems, spread spectrum, single and multi-carrier techniques and modulation types such as QPSK, APSK and QAM
• RF/microwave design using ADS, HFSS, AWR or similar
• Understanding of electromagnetic propagation and antenna systems

Preferred Skills

• Schematic and layout using Altium Designer or other PCB design tool
• Experience in Python, C++ or equivalent tools for modeling and analyzing RF systems
• Digital communication theory with emphasis on bit error rate and system noise figure
• RF/microwave design in the Ku, Ka, V and E-band frequency range
• Experience characterizing radio performance at microwave frequencies
