RF Engineer

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Education: Bachelor’s or higher degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering (or related field) from a reputable institution.
• Experience: Minimum 6+ years of experience in electronics hardware design (experience in RF and analog circuit design is highly regarded).
• Proficiency in Altium Designer for PCB design.
• Hands-on experience with RF test equipment (e.g. network analyzers, spectrum analyzers).
• Experience in preparing clear and thorough technical design documentation.
• Ability to manage project priorities and communicate effectively with stakeholders.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently in a fast-paced R&D environment.
• Understanding of the R&D project lifecycle (PLM process).
• Willingness to travel internationally as required (e.g. to Macau, Las Vegas, Australia for collaboration or support).

Preferred Qualifications & Skills

• Knowledge of EMC testing standards and regulatory requirements.
• Familiarity with the unique challenges of RF environments and interference mitigation.
• Understanding of RFID technologies, especially 13.56 MHz systems (e.g. ISO/IEC 18000-2 Mod 2 and 18000-3 Mod 3 standards).
• Experience with NI LabVIEW and MATLAB for test automation and data analysis.
• Simulation & Modeling: Experience with simulation and modeling tools for RF/electronic design (e.g. electromagnetic field simulators or circuit modeling software) is a plus.

Tasks & Responsibilities

• Electronics Design: Lead new electronics design projects, including enhancements to current RFID-based products (13.56 MHz).
• Antenna Design: Perform 1D/3D antenna design for new and existing products and projects, optimizing RFID reader range and reliability.
• Testing & Compliance: Take responsibility for production testing and ensure designs meet EMC compliance and other regulatory requirements.
• PCB Design: Develop schematic diagrams and PCB layouts using Altium Designer, integrating RF, analog, and digital components.
• Technical Documentation: Produce detailed technical documents (e.g. Theory of Operation, schematics, BOMs, test plans) to support design and manufacturing.
• Prototyping: Build and evaluate prototypes; conduct iterative testing and troubleshooting to validate design concepts and performance.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Collaborate closely with our software development team in India and support teams in Macau and Las Vegas to integrate systems and resolve issues.
• Vendor/Stakeholder Liaison: Liaise with the WDTS product marketing team and our contract manufacturer to align design specifications, production testing, and product release schedules.
