Hiring: RF Engineer Company: Redwire Location: Longmont, CO Job Posted Time: 2026-09-12 12:29:31 Employment Type: Full-time Target Skills & Keywords : Agile, AutoCAD, C++, CAD, MATLAB, Microsoft Office, Python, Systems Engineering, Verilog About the job Experience: •0-2 years of professional experience. Internship, co-op, undergraduate research, or teaching and laboratory assistant experience in RF, electronics, or hardware development is considered in lieu of full-time industry experience. •Hands-on knowledge of RF simulation techniques and software, including circuit- and system-level simulation of RF components and signal chains and/or three-dimensional electromagnetic modeling of RF structures. •Solid functional working knowledge of RF fundamentals, including S-parameters, impedance matching, transmission lines, gain and noise figure cascading, linearity, and stability. •Proficiency with at least one scripting or programming language, such as Python, MATLAB, or C++, and a demonstrated interest in applying software to automate engineering analysis, data processing, and repetitive design tasks. •Operational familiarity with schematic capture and printed circuit board layout tools, such as Altium Designer, Cadence, OrCAD, or KiCad. Required Skills: •Develop, correlate, and maintain RF simulation models of components, subassemblies, and end-to-end systems using industry standard tools such as Keysight ADS, in order to predict performance and evaluate design trades ahead of hardware build. •Perform RF component data sheet review and trade studies to compare candidate devices and optimize RF system architecture and performance against gain, noise, linearity, power, size, and cost objectives. •Build three-dimensional electromagnetic models of RF devices and assemblies in Ansys HFSS, including cavity and enclosure analysis of active devices, to characterize resonances, coupling, and packaging effects that drive gain, isolation, and stability. •Perform schematic capture and layout of RF printed circuit boards, applying high-frequency design practices such as controlled-impedance transmission lines, grounding and return-path management, and isolation between stages. •Develop and maintain scripts and software utilities that automate simulation setup, measurement data reduction, and report generation, improving the throughput and repeatability of the RF team's day-to-day analysis work. •Actively facilitate and support development, qualification, and delivery of high-performance RF systems for space and multi domain environments, under the guidance and mentorship of senior RF engineers. •Support RF characterization and verification activities in the laboratory and during flight build, test, and delivery. Assist with test setup, collect and process measurement data to verify specifications, and correlate measured results back to simulation models. •Interface with multi-disciplinary team members to optimize component and system designs that meet all technical, cost and schedule requirements. Qualifications: •B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Engineering with an electrical specialty, Applied Mathematics, or Physics, with coursework, undergraduate research, or project focus in RF design and analysis. Candidates completing their degree in December 2026 are encouraged to apply. Compensation: •$91,000 - $105,000 / year Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
