RF & Microwave Design Team Leader

A global and innovative technology company developing advanced communication systems on a worldwide scale is looking for an experienced RF Team Leader to lead the development of RF modules, electronic boards, and complex subsystems in a multidisciplinary environment with the highest engineering standards.

Position Overview

Lead and manage a team of RF engineers with full ownership of the development lifecycle — from requirements definition and architecture, through RF circuit design, hardware and board design, simulations, integration, validation, and transfer to mass production.

The role includes leading design reviews, setting priorities, managing schedules, budgets, and technical roadmaps, while mentoring and developing team members.

You will be responsible for the design and development of advanced RF modules and subsystems such as power amplifiers, receivers, frequency converters, front-end units, distribution networks, and beamforming solutions. The position requires close collaboration with system, hardware, software, mechanical, manufacturing, and external suppliers worldwide.

Additional responsibilities include high-performance PCB design, RF and EM simulations using industry-standard tools, Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Test (DFT), cost optimization, yield improvement, and product reliability enhancement.

You will also lead validation and qualification activities, performance analysis, complex troubleshooting, and ensure compliance with demanding environmental, thermal, vibration, and reliability requirements.

Required Qualifications

• B.Sc. in Electrical / Electronics Engineering with specialization in RF / Microwave Engineering
• M.Sc. or Ph.D. in RF / Microwave Engineering – strong advantage
• 10+ years of hands-on RF / Microwave design experience
• 3+ years of managerial experience leading engineering teams
• Extensive experience designing RF systems in the 1GHz–30GHz frequency range, including VHF/UHF, S-Band, Ku/Ka-Band
• Proven experience in hardware design, board design, and PCB layout for complex high-performance products
• Strong expertise in power amplifiers, matching networks, filters, frequency conversion, and signal integrity
• Experience with GaN / GaAs technologies
• Experience transferring complex products from development to high-volume production
• Hands-on experience with simulation tools such as ADS, AWR, HFSS
• Fluent English communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with advanced wireless communication systems
• Familiarity with LTE / 5G technologies
• Experience with automated test systems
• Experience in a global high-tech development environment
