The focus of this position is on the design, test and integration of RF electronic circuits. 
You are responsible for:

• Component down-select, schematic capture and RF layout design
• RF performance characterization of COTS components
• Analysis and simulation of RF circuits
• Providing engineering support of existing products and new initiatives under the direction of engineers and managers

You are a part of a motivated cross-functional team of RF, antenna, digital and software engineers that design and develop high reliability antennas and RF embedded electronics and subsystems.
To succeed in this role, you should have the following skills and experience:

• Basic knowledge of electronics, RF, microwave and antenna theory
• Familiarity with HFSS, MATLAB, ADS, Altium or similar software
• Able to work effectively as a part of an integrated design team
• Self-motivated and eager to apply learning into practice
• Hands-on and detail-oriented individual who is able to self-educate and progress on tasks autonomously with guidance provided by a mentoring engineer.

In this role, you have the opportunity to gain experience—as a contributing member of a high performance and experienced engineering team—from product conceptualization through all phases of a design including prototyping, manufacturing, and testing. 
This hybrid position will work primarily on site, however, occasionally will allow for work from home a few days a week dependent on program needs. Candidates must be local or willing to relocate to Los Angeles, CA. Candidates must be able to legally work in the U.S.

The focus of this position is on developing/implementing/debugging embedded firmware for various sensing and communication technologies. The ideal candidate will have 4-5 years of professional experience in: 

• Developing embedded C++ on multiple microcontroller platforms
• Developing object-oriented embedded C++ on multiple compute platforms and toolchains
• Implementing concurrent high-rate fixed and floating point signal processing algorithms in embedded firmware
• Digital signal processing algorithm implementation in an embedded system (e.g. Kalman filters, IIR filters, FIR filters and rate conversion)
• Implementing and testing drivers for high speed ADCs and DACs in RF applications – this includes experience with serialized ADCs, delta-sigma ADCs and firmware-triggered ADCs
• Multithreaded embedded C++ development

Other qualifications include: 

• Familiarity and comfort with interrupt-driven embedded C++ firmware
• Knowledge of GCC toolchain and optimizations per compilation of embedded firmware
• Knowledge of ARM/x86 architecture and custom implementation of kernels therein
• Knowledge of embedded peripherals / protocols (e.g. DMA, USB, UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet etc.)
• 4-5 years of experience with writing and testing embedded firmware for Ethernet PHY
• Familiarity and comfort with telemetry and command networking and incorporation of new nodes into such topologies
• 4-5 years of experience implementing embedded C++ drivers with programmable components on custom PCBAs and ADC/DAC peripherals in general
• Experience with porting data between Python and C++
• Experience with digital hardware design and development
• Board bring-up and debug skills with JTAG, mixed-signal oscilloscopes, and/or logic analyzers

This hybrid position will work primarily on site, however, occasionally will allow for work from home a few days a week dependent on program needs. Candidates must be local or willing to relocate to Los Angeles, CA. Relocation support will be provided for qualified candidates. Candidates must be able to legally work in the U.S. without requiring present/future sponsorship for employment.
