Lucix Corporation, a subsidiary of HEICO’s Electronic Technologies Group has steadily evolved to become the world leader in RF Active and Passive Units, Subsystems, and Assemblies, for Commercial, Civil and Defense Satellite Payloads. Lucix also provides RF hardware for Airborne and Ground Systems. All hardware is designed, qualified, manufactured, tested, and shipped from Lucix facilities in California, USA.
We are seeking an experienced RF Engineer III to join our Engineering team. The RF Engineer III is a technical expert that will lead as a project engineer for RF products including Oscillators, Central Power Supply Units (CPSUs), Frequency Converters, and Amplifiers for our commercial space customers.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
- Lead design and development of complex RF products with emphasis on oscillator products
- Analyze customer requirements and constraints
- Generate detailed design proposals for customers and provide expert-level advice on trade-off discussions for design concepts
- Estimate total costs, including material, labor, test and development costs as well as lead time for new products to be quoted
- Independently complete RF system and circuit design
- Support analog control circuitry designs for features including voltage regulation, gain control, automatic level control, and temperature compensation
- Perform detailed analysis of compliance for electrical, mechanical, environmental and regulatory requirements (compliance matrix) for all new products being quoted
- Determines methods and procedures on new assignments
- Tune, Test, and Report on prototypes / engineering models
- Support Operations by creating test data sheets, supporting Integration and Test
- Provide clear, consistent technical judgment
- Invent new technologies
- Mentor junior engineers in areas of RF design and analysis
