What is an HFSS?

An HFSS job typically involves using Ansys HFSS, a high-frequency electromagnetic simulation software, for designing and analyzing RF, microwave, and antenna systems. Engineers in this role work on simulating and optimizing electromagnetic structures, ensuring performance and efficiency. This job is common in industries such as telecommunications, aerospace, and automotive, where precision in high-frequency applications is critical. Responsibilities may include creating simulation models, validating designs, and collaborating with hardware teams to improve overall system performance.

What does an HFSS engineer do?

HFSS Engineers typically spend their days setting up electromagnetic simulations in ANSYS HFSS, analyzing results, and optimizing designs for antennas, microwave circuits, or other high-frequency components. They collaborate closely with hardware, PCB, and mechanical engineers to ensure the simulated models translate well into physical prototypes. Additionally, they document simulation findings, prepare reports, and may be involved in client meetings or design reviews to present and defend their results. This dynamic routine offers a mix of hands-on technical work and teamwork in a laboratory or office setting.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the HFSS position?

To thrive in an HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) Engineer role, you need a strong background in electrical engineering, electromagnetics, and RF/microwave circuit design, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree. Proficiency in using ANSYS HFSS simulation software, as well as familiarity with other industry-standard EDA tools, is crucial. Analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help engineers collaborate with cross-functional teams and translate simulation data into actionable results. These skills enable accurate modeling, improved product designs, and successful project outcomes in the fast-paced field of RF and microwave engineering.

Re-posted 10 days ago

Job description

Duration: 12+ months contract

Location: San Jose, CA (Onsite, 5 days/week)

Description:

  • PCB Development: Lead the schematic entry, component selection, and layout routing optimization for complex RF evaluation boards using Cadence Allegro.
  • Simulation & Analysis: Perform Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) simulations. Utilize Ansys HFSS for EM modeling and impedance matching to ensure optimal RF performance.
  • Hardware Bring-up: Own the board bring-up process, including debugging hardware issues and validating performance against design specifications.
  • RF Characterization: Utilize lab equipment (VNAs, Spectrum Analyzers, Signal Generators) to perform various RF measurements and verify simulation-to-measurement correlations. Implement Machine Learning (ML) techniques to analyze large datasets and identify performance trends or anomalies.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with RFIC Design and System Engineering teams to define board requirements and provide feedback on chip-level performance.
  • Documentation & Data Analysis: Maintain detailed design documentations and test reports for internal and external stakeholders. Collect, review and analyze test data.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • Education: BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
  • Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in RF PCB design and hardware development.
  • Tools: Expert-level proficiency in Cadence Allegro/OrCAD and Ansys HFSS (or equivalent EM simulation tools).
  • RF Fundamentals: Strong knowledge of RF theory, including S-parameters, transmission line theory, matching networks, and de-embedding techniques.
  • Lab Expertise: Extensive experience with RF test equipment (VNAs, Spectrum Analyzers, Oscilloscopes) and high-speed probing techniques.
  • Materials Knowledge: Deep understanding of PCB stack-ups, dielectric materials (e.g., Rogers, Megtron), and manufacturing constraints for high-frequency PCB designs.

Desirable Skills (Nice to Have)

  • Automation: Proficiency in Python or C# for developing automated test suites to increase characterization throughput.
  • Data Science for RF: Experience applying AI/ML models for predictive maintenance of test setups or for signal classification.
  • Wafer-Level Testing: Experience with manual or semi-automated RF probe stations for on-wafer die characterization.
