RF Engineer

Reporting to the Director R&D, the RF Engineer plays a critical role in developing RF systems through design, simulation, and optimization of RF/RFID antennas and small electronic circuits. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand system requirements, define layout specifications, and develop customized antenna solutions to meet customer and project needs. Your expertise in RF/RFID antenna design, simulation tools, and electromagnetic theory will significantly contribute to the success of our RFID products.

Responsibilities

1. Work closely with RF engineers and project managers to understand system requirements and antenna performance targets.
2. Design and simulate antenna structures and small electronic circuits using electromagnetic simulation software (e.g., CST Microwave Studio, HFSS, FEKO).
3. Optimize antenna designs based on performance metrics such as gain, bandwidth, efficiency, and radiation pattern.
4. Create prototypes and test antenna designs using laboratory equipment like network analyzers and range measurement setups in our test chamber.
5. Analyze test results and refine antenna prototypes to enhance performance and meet project specifications.
6. Design comprehensive solutions around RFID tags and readers according to customer specifications.
7. Contribute to developing production processes and transfer solutions to manufacturing operations.
8. Stay updated on industry trends, new technologies, and advances in antenna design techniques and materials.
