Senior / Principal R&D Electrical Engineer (RF & Microwave Design)

Location: Chestnut Ridge, NY (100% Onsite)
Compensation: $141,900.00 – $189,200.00 Base + Full Benefits
Industry: Electronic Test & Measurement / Advanced Instrumentation

About the Opportunity
Are you tired of just maintaining legacy hardware or working on minor product updates?
We are partnering with an elite R&D instrumentation team that is expanding its engineering footprint in Chestnut Ridge, NY. This team designs next-generation, high-value data acquisition hardware and high-frequency systems from a completely blank canvas all the way through to mass commercial production.
If you thrive on solving complex signal integrity, precision analog, and gigahertz-range RF challenges on the physical layer, 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.
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 and analyze time/frequency domains.
Prototype Validation: Design custom test fixtures and automated test routines to bring prototypes to life using high-end lab instrumentation (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 physical electronic hardware design experience.
RF Synthesis: A proven track record in high-frequency RF and microwave circuit design.
Tool Fluency: Direct, hands-on experience with at least one major 3D EM simulation or RF simulation suite (e.g., ADS, Microwave Office, HFSS, CST, Sonnet, or Genesys).
Lab Expertise: Advanced laboratory skills using high-end diagnostics 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).
