Senior / Principal RF & Microwave Engineer

Senior /Principal RF & Microwave Engineer - Chestnut Ridge, NY- Onsite - Up to $189,000

The Opportunity

We are looking for a visionary Senior/Principal RF & Microwave Engineer to join an elite R&D team developing next-generation, high-value test and measurement instruments and high-frequency acquisition systems. In this role, you won't just be maintaining legacy products - you will architect and design complex electronic subsystems from a blank canvas all the way through to mass production.

If you thrive on solving complex signal integrity, precision analog, and gigahertz-range RF challenges, this is your sandbox.

What You’ll Do (Core Responsibilities)

Architect & Design: Lead the design of front-end RF & Microwave assemblies, precision analog/mixed-signal circuitry, high-speed ADCs, DACs, and power supplies used in next-generation probes and data acquisition hardware.

ECAD & Layout: Create complex schematic designs and oversee the layout of high-frequency PCBs, ceramic, and organic packages.

Simulation: Utilize cutting-edge EDA and 3D electromagnetic simulation tools to model performance, analyze time/frequency domains, and mitigate design risks.

Prototype Validation: Design custom test fixtures and automated test routines to bring prototypes to life using high-end laboratory equipment (Network Analyzers, Spectrum Analyzers, High-Bandwidth Scopes).

What We’re Looking For (Required Credentials)

Education: BSEE or MSEE degree.

Experience: 5 to 10+ years of dedicated hands-on electronic design experience.

RF Circuit Design Mastery: A proven track record in high-frequency RF and microwave circuit design.

Simulation Tool Fluency: Direct, hands-on experience with at least one major RF simulation suite (e.g., ADS, Microwave Office, HFSS, CST, Sonnet, or Genesys).

Lab Expertise: Advanced laboratory skills using high-end instrumentation to validate complex hardware systems.

Preferred / Plus Skills

Knowledge of general electronic design (microcontrollers, clocking architectures, power supply design).

Scripting capabilities (Python, VB, or similar) for measurement automation and data analysis.

Experience coordinating across cross-disciplinary teams (Mechanical, Software, and Manufacturing).

Pay: $150,000.00 - $189,000.00 per year

Application Question(s):

This role requires US Citizenship or Greencard. Do you have this?

Work Location: In person
