RF Hardware Engineer
Location: Irvine, California
Working Pattern: On-site
Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent
Compensation: $155,000 - $185,000 base
Sector: Space | RF | Satellite Hardware
About the Opportunity
Fruition Group is supporting a leading space technology company developing advanced satellite and radar systems.
We are looking for an RF Hardware Engineer to design, develop and validate high-performance electronics used within sophisticated RF and radar payloads.
The role combines RF hardware development with high-speed electronics, mixed-signal design, system integration and hands-on laboratory validation.
What You'll Be Doing
Design and develop RF and mixed-signal electronic hardware
Support hardware architecture for advanced radar and satellite systems
Develop RF front-end and supporting electronics
Design low-noise RF and analog circuitry
Work with high-speed ADCs, DACs and digitizer architectures
Integrate RF components, processors, FPGAs and high-speed interfaces
Support phased-array and antenna-related electronics
Perform schematic capture and support PCB layout
Conduct RF and electrical simulations
Lead board bring-up, characterization and debugging
Develop and execute hardware validation plans
Perform laboratory testing using RF and high-speed measurement equipment
Investigate signal integrity, noise and system performance issues
Support environmental and system-level testing
Collaborate with RF, antenna, FPGA, firmware, mechanical and systems engineers
Support hardware from prototype through flight-ready implementation
What We're Looking For
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering or similar
Strong RF hardware development experience
Experience designing RF and/or mixed-signal PCBs
Understanding of RF front-end architectures
Experience with high-speed ADC/DAC systems
Strong laboratory and hardware debugging skills
Experience using RF test equipment such as:
Vector Network Analyzers
Spectrum Analyzers
Signal Generators
Oscilloscopes
Power Meters
Strong understanding of RF fundamentals including impedance matching, noise, gain and signal integrity
Experience taking electronic hardware through design, bring-up and validation
Highly Relevant Experience
Satellite or spacecraft electronics
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
Radar systems
Phased-array systems
RF front-end modules
High-speed digitizers
Low-noise analog electronics
FPGA-based systems
High-speed PCB design
EMI/EMC
Aerospace or defense hardware
Hardware designed for harsh or high-reliability environments
Why Join?
You'll work on RF hardware that forms a critical part of sophisticated space-based sensing systems.
This is an opportunity to remain hands-on with RF and electronics while working across design, integration, testing and real-world system deployment.
The environment suits engineers who enjoy technically difficult hardware problems,
multidisciplinary engineering and seeing their designs become operational systems.
Fruition Group is supporting the hiring process for this position.
