Senior RF Design Engineer
On-siteCarmel, Indiana, United States
Job Summary
Design and evaluate new antenna systems and RF transceiver hardware for automotive radars supporting safety and autonomous driving. Model antenna designs and RF path transitions in HFSS, FEKO, or equivalent packages, then perform tolerance analysis to ensure high-volume manufacturing compliance. Execute system-level characterization using computational tools and develop laboratory testing methods to validate fabricated designs via millimeter-wave test setups. Compile test data, document reports, and maintain lab equipment while creating antenna drawings within the change management structure. Support radar systems engineers in developing new concepts and diagnosing existing designs, then present findings to management and customers.
