Job Description
Insight Global’s client is seeking an experienced RF Design Engineer to design, debug, and integrate RF systems for highly autonomous consumer products. This role is heavily hands-on, with a strong emphasis on RF PCB design, hardware system integration, and lab-based debugging, ideally within the cell phone or comparable high-volume consumer electronics industry.
Design and develop RF PCBs and hardware systems across multiple wireless technologies and frequency bands
Perform RF circuit design (not layout-only) including analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits
Conduct lab bench work including debugging, desense analysis, and system characterization
Own RF design through the full product lifecycle: concept, validation, certification, and manufacturing
Identify and mitigate noise, EMI/EMC, and coupling issues at both PCB and system levels
Collaborate closely with EE, RF, antenna, and product development teams
Support manufacturing processes, bring-up, and production testing
Required Experience & Skills
5–8 years of relevant RF engineering experience (strong preference for Cellular/5G RF design experience)
Familiarity with Qualcomm solutions and the Qualcomm testing environment.
Deep understanding of RF fundamentals, including:
Impedance matching
RF PCB design and routing
EMI/EMC mitigation
Radiated noise coupling mechanisms
Hands-on experience with wireless technologies such as WiFi, LTE, Bluetooth, and GPS
Proficiency with RF simulation tools (Keysight ADS, Momentum, HFSS/Ansys)
Experience using RF lab equipment (network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, CMW500, near-field probes, etc.)
Strong debugging skills for RF performance, desense, and system integration issues
Education: MS in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent practical experience)
