Responsibilities
Kforce is immediately seeking an experienced RF Integration Engineer in support of our enterprise networking and cloud solutions customer based in San Jose, CA. Summary: The RF Integration Engineer will be a key member of our team, assisting with the bring-up, simulation, integration, and validation of innovative antenna and radio designs. This role involves testing wireless/RF subsystem performance against high-quality design metrics, automating test equipment to improve cycle efficiency, and presenting findings to cross-functional teams. Role Responsibilities:
Assisting with the bring-up, simulation, and validation of RF/antenna designs
Testing wireless/RF subsystem performance against predefined quality metrics
Automating test equipment to enhance test cycle efficiency
Producing test reports and presenting findings
Collaborating with HW/SW Engineering, Product Management, and Supply Chain teams
Requirements
BSEE (MSEE preferred) with 3+ years of experience in HW product development and testing
Hands-on experience with microwave/measurement equipment (Network/Spectrum Analyzers, Power Meters, Vector Signal Analyzers/Generators, traffic generators, and wireless sniffers)
Familiarity with wireless architectures (radio front ends, antennas, amplifiers, RF switches, filters, couplers from 450 - 7125 MHz) and wireless networking (path loss/channel models, traffic generation)
Knowledge of digital/analog electronics and product development lifecycles
Proficiency in Python, C++, MATLAB, and/or LabVIEW
Willingness to learn or prior experience with simulation tools (ADS, CST, HFSS) and schematic/layout tools (e.g., Cadence)
Nice To Have
Experience writing test plans and assisting with global certification processes
Experience working with cross-functional groups (Radio Compliance, HW design)
Knowledge of wireless technologies (WLAN, BT/BLE, LTE, 5G FR1, WPAN)
Ability to perform component rework (e.g., 0402 SMT) and use soldering stations
Ability to navigate and manipulate ECAD (PCB/Layout) and MCAD (.stp) files
The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.
This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
