Our client, a American Network Infrastructure Provider company, is looking for a Principal Electrical RF Engineer for their Claremont, CA/Catawba, NC location.
 
Responsibilities:
  • Client’s Building & Campus business delivers end-to-end enterprise networking infrastructure—structured copper and fiber cabling (SYSTIMAX®,
  • NETCONNECT®, Uniprise®), powered fiber and automated infrastructure management (imVision®).
  • It focuses on high bandwidth, longer distances, smarter visibility/monitoring, faster deployment and large-venue coverage—enabling connected, secure environments across offices, campuses, universities, hospitals, airports and other venues.
  • Conceive and develop electrical PCB designs for copper Ethernet connectors and apparatus products with key emphasis in RF signal integrity parameters.
  • Define electrical architecture and design methodologies for next-generation copper Ethernet connectors and apparatus products.
  • Act as a key contributor and technical leader for electrical design within our business unit.
  • Set up simulation models and execute electrical simulations in ANSYS HFSS software.
  • Conduct data analysis, document technical findings, and maintain accurate records of design iterations and test results.
  • Collaborate with product line managers, mechanical engineers, manufacturing and quality teams to optimize connector designs.
  • Apply sound engineering principles, practices, and follow development execution procedures to take a design through the product development life cycle.
  • Drive design-for manufacturing strategy and partner with PCB vendors on material selection, tolerances, and advanced fabrication processes.
  • Mentor mid to senior level electrical engineers and establish internal standards for high-speed layout and Ethernet specific design practices.
  • Participate in peer reviews, design reviews, and brainstorming sessions to mitigate risk and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
 
Requirements:
  • Bachelor of Science Electrical Engineering and 12-15 years of relevant experience or Master of Science in Electrical Engineering with 8 years relevant experience.
