Summary

Under minimal supervision, the Senior Connector Design Engineer will lead the design and development of advanced RF and microwave components and assemblies for industry-leading product lines across some of the world's most demanding markets and applications. This role involves developing innovative solutions for connectors, adapters, cable assemblies, antennas, and other RF/microwave products that meet stringent performance requirements in applications ranging from submarine environments to interstellar space. The engineer will manage complex projects from concept through production, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate cross functionally to support aggressive growth initiatives. In addition, the Senior Connector Design Engineer will help define product specifications and standards that meet customer needs and partner with suppliers to ensure design manufacturability and product quality throughout the development process.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Design & Development:
    • Develop RF and microwave components (e.g., coaxial connectors, adapters, cable assemblies, terminations, etc) to meet customer and market requirements.
    • Perform simulations and modeling using industry-standard tools (e.g., HFSS, ADS, CST).
  • Technical Analysis:
    • Interpret technical drawings, schematics, and specifications.
    • Analyze customer requirements and propose feasible, cost-effective solutions.
    • Conducts design for manufacturability and cost assessments; recommends design/requirements changes as warranted
  • Testing & Validation:
    • Define and execute test plans for RF performance (VSWR, insertion loss, return loss, PIM, etc.).
    • Troubleshoot and resolve design or performance issues.
  • Collaboration:
    • Work closely with manufacturing, quality, sourcing and external suppliers to ensure design manufacturability and cost optimization.
    • Provide technical support to sales and application engineering teams.
    • Evaluate design concept requirements packages for feasibility, viability and risk. Leads preliminary design review activities to develop risk assessment and mitigation plans
    • Leads multiple engineering design projects covering the company's range of technology and product areas
  • Continuous Improvement:
    • Stay current with RF/microwave finite element analysis and other design tools
    • Recommend design enhancements and new product opportunities.
    • Create and build a library of validated and reliable design standards
    • Collaborate cross functionally to develop efficient validation and qualification data

Job Requirements

  • BS in Mechanical, Aerospace or Electrical Engineering (MS in Engineering helpful)
  • 7 - 10 years of design engineering experience
  • Familiarity with industry standards (MIL-STDs, IEC, ASTM etc)
  • Technical leadership experience is helpful
  • Proficient in software tools including Solid Works, CST, PLM, MRP
  • Knowledge of ISO 9001 and AS 9100 structure and requirements
