Job Description

Qorvo is seeking an experienced Analog Design Engineer to join the Defense & Aerospace High-Power RF Solutions (HPRF) product development team.  This engineer will lead the design and development of circuit card assemblies (CCAs) for solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs) and other high-power RF systems. This role is responsible for the electrical design, analysis, integration, verification, and production support of complex mixed-signal and analog hardware operating in demanding environments.  The successful candidate will have a strong background in RF and analog electronics, power conversion, and board-level design. This engineer will work closely with RF, systems, mechanical, thermal, firmware, test, and manufacturing teams throughout the product lifecycle from concept development through production and sustainment.

Position Responsibilities:

• Design and develop analog, RF, and mixed-signal CCAs for SSPA and high-power RF amplifier products
• Design and integrate circuits including RF amplifier bias and control circuits, GaN power amplifier support circuitry, power conditioning and power distribution networks, RF detector and monitoring circuits, health monitoring & fault protection circuits, and high-current analog interfaces
• Perform circuit simulations and analyses using tools such as LTspice, PSpice, or equivalent to ensure performance, robustness, and reliability
• Collaborate with PCB layout engineers to optimize RF grounding and isolation, high-current power distribution, thermal management, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC performance
• Support RF subsystem integration and bring-up activities.

 

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in analog or mixed-signal electronic design.
• Experience designing and developing Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs).
• Ability to troubleshoot complex hardware issues at the board and system level.
• Strong understanding of analog circuit design, high-current electronic circuits, signal conditioning and measurement circuits, and EMI/EMC mitigation techniques
• Knowledge of signal integrity analysis, power integrity analysis, environmental qualification testing, reliability engineering, design for manufacturability (DFM), and design for testability (DFT)
• Hands-on laboratory experience using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers (VNAs), signal generators, and power meters
• Ability to troubleshoot board- and system-level hardware issues.
• Strong communication and technical documentation skills.

 

REQUIRED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

• BS in Electrical Engineering or related discipline with 5 or more years of experience
• MS in Electrical Engineering (Analog Design focus) with 3 or more years of experience
• PhD in Electrical Engineering with Analog Design focus

 

 

Competitive base salary commensurate with experience: $100,700 - $131,000 (subject to change dependent on physical location) 

Posted salary ranges are made in good faith. Qorvo reserves the right to adjust ranges depending on the experience/qualification of the selected candidate as well as external competitiveness and internal comparability.
