Rf Design Engineer (senior)

Boeing Boeing · Aerospace · Huntsville, AL

Senior RF Design Engineer at Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) in Huntsville, AL. This role involves designing, sustaining, and upgrading next-generation electronics concepts, focusing on analog and digital circuit card assembly (CCA) design. Responsibilities include translating requirements into architectures, creating schematics and PCB layouts, performing circuit analysis and simulation, conducting lab tests, researching emerging technologies, and documenting designs. Requires a Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering or science field, 5+ years of experience, and a U.S. Secret clearance.

What you'd actually do

  1. Translate electrical requirements into system and hardware architectures, detailed interface specifications, and build/test plans.
  2. Create and release engineering drawings, schematics, and PCB layouts to support fabrication and integration.
  3. Perform circuit analysis, simulation, and troubleshooting using tools such as PSpice, LTSpice, Simplis, or equivalent.
  4. Develop and execute verification and validation tests in the lab using oscilloscopes, DMMs, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, and other test equipment; analyze results and iterate designs.
  5. Research and evaluate emerging technologies and components; make recommendations for design improvements and technology investments to meet program needs.
