RF Engineer

Epirus designs and builds cutting-edge, high-powered microwave (HPM) systems that have the ability to transform industries. With a successful foothold in the defense industry, where we invented directed energy weapon systems that surpass current capabilities, we’re creating new possibilities for intelligently-driven power products in commercial markets.

Job objective: This is an exciting role in a growing company. The ideal candidate for the position is someone who has experience designing, simulating, building, and testing RF products, including RF circuit boards. The main duties of this role will be to create new RF power amplifier module designs/merge existing designs into new RF boards, simulate an RF board design in ADS or equivalent CAD tool, and get the design fabricated, assembled, and tested.

Duties:
Design and build RF power amplifier modules

RF amplifier modules range from low power all the way up to very high power, multi-kilowatt RF power out

Design control and voltage inputs to power transistors such as Gallium Nitride

Perform analysis of on-chip energy storage networks to source sufficient current and voltage to RF power amplifiers

Perform Electromagnetic simulation using HFSS

Simulate RF circuit board designs in ADS or equivalent CAD tool

Perform schematic capture and layout of RF circuit board designs

Manage vendors to get RF boards fabricated, assembled and sustained thru manufacturing

Testing RF hardware boards

Required Qualifications:
BSEE with 3+ years of experience, MSEE with 2+ years of experience, or PHD with 1+ years of RF design experience

Expertise in high power RF in test, simulation, and board design

US Citizen (future security clearance may be required)

Desired Qualifications:
High volume RF Power amplifier module manufacturing

Integration & test experience; participation in field testing

Good written and oral communication skills

Collaborative; capable of working across all levels of the organization

Organized; comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment

Epirus was the magical bow with infinite arrows wielded by the Greek hero Theseus. Like our namesake, we strive to be fast, efficient, and limitless in our approach. This agility, combined with a culture of innovation in systems development, allows us to move quickly without losing the decades of lessons learned.

We have developed technologies that leverage new breakthroughs in sensors and high-power microwaves, combined with computer vision and advanced software control. Our first broad-market application is a comprehensive defense system to defeat offensive drones at scale.
