3D GLASS SOLUTIONS

Job/Position Summary

Design state-of-the-art RF/microwave components, modules, front-ends, and SiP’s using 3DGS innovative glass technology. Responsible for solving major and complex engineering problems in one or more phases of a developmental project involving analysis, research design, development, fabrication and/or testing of a device or system. You will own end-to-end RF/microwave designs from initial definition through production. The candidate selected must have the ability to perform the essential duties and responsibilities with minimal supervision.



Primary Responsibilities

  • Design integrated passive devices such as filters, multiplexers, couplers, and baluns.

  • Design substrate integrated waveguide components, including filters, transitions, packages, and antennas.

  • Design high-frequency interposers for MMICs, including internal matching and transmission lines.

  • Perform circuit and electromagnetic simulations, including advanced optimization and tuning techniques. Desired experience with multi-technology assembly and circuit-EM co-simulation.

  • Engage with customers to understand their requirements and provide expert guidance on microwave solutions.

  • Create test procedures, technical white papers, and participate in technical proposal writing.

  • Interface with manufacturing to ensure new designs meet design rules and achieve good performance, yields, and reliability.

  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and technicians.

  • Help establish technology roadmap and lead key internal development projects.

  • Perform additional functions and other duties as assigned or required.



Requirements

  • Master's degree in electrical engineering or related field, or PhD preferred

  • 5 years of RF/microwave design experience. 10 years preferred.
