Filtronic delivers cutting-edge RF and mmWave solutions that power the future of high-frequency communications. From satellite links to next-generation sensing systems, we design and manufacture high-performance components and subsystems—including SSPAs, filters, and transceivers—ensuring seamless connectivity and precision at the highest frequencies.
Responsible for the design of RF/mmW elements and systems, ensuring that electrical performance, quality, cost and manufacturability requirements are met.
Summary of Responsibilities
:
* Full responsibility for the design and development of RF/mmW sub-circuits, sub-modules and systems within telecommunications and defence products
* Detailed RF/mmW specification, design, simulation, and realisation, ideally including:
* Transmission lines
* Filters (range of topologies)
* Coupler design
* Synthesiser/multiplier design
* Component selection (ICs/MMICs) including vendor liaison
* Electromechanical product concept design in collaboration with mechanical design team
* Design of support electronics & layout of high frequency printed circuit boards in collaboration with electronics/PCB design team
* System line-up analysis
* Thermal, MTBF and component derating analysis and reporting in line with company/customer requirements
* The compilation and checking of design documentation, example: design logbooks, data packs, peer review etc. in preparation for design release and production
* To deliver fully verified and documented designs in line with project defined technical, schedule and cost constraints
* Preparing and reviewing tollgate documentation, ensuring the standard according to the NPI procedure is achieved and that reports are progressed and updated throughout the project
* To proactively participate in design reviews and to initiate design reviews to mitigate risk when appropriate
* To undertake all aspects of design verification and validation including preparation of test specifications, test reports and reliability testing/evaluation
* To maintain an up to date, comprehensive design compliance matrix, referencing robust evidence of compliance data for assigned designs
* Problem-solving and fault diagnosis of manufactured products during product introduction - including definition and train-out of diagnostic procedures
