Back to jobsTranslate customer RF/microwave filter requirements (e.g., frequency range 500 MHz–6 GHz, insertion loss, return loss, rejection, power handling) into manufacturable designs that meet specifications and production goals.
Optimize electrode artwork (metallization patterns) on ceramic monoblocks to achieve performance targets while minimizing tuning time and maximizing yield.
Collect and analyze filter performance data (S-parameters, insertion/return loss, group delay, etc.); generate and maintain design documentation, including product datasheets, artwork drawings, material specifications, and tooling drawings.
Use electromagnetic (EM) simulation and filter design tools such as AWR (Microwave Office), CST, or Ansys HFSS to model filter responses, perform tolerance/yield analysis, and guide iterative design improvements.
Design supporting test circuits and PCBs (including layout considerations for impedance matching, grounding, and RF performance) to validate and tune filter prototypes.
Develop and document initial tuning methodologies for new designs; collaborate with production operators and manufacturing teams to refine processes for optimal yield and repeatability.
Perform sensitivity and tolerance analysis to ensure design robustness against manufacturing variations.
Support full product lifecycle: from concept and prototyping through production ramp-up, qualification, and customer delivery.
Work closely with materials engineers, production teams, and customers to resolve design and manufacturing issues.
