Lead Electrical Engineer – RF

Job Description SummaryThis Lead Electrical Engineer position will be responsible for the development of RF electronics designs used within a Magnetic Resonance (MR) system. The successful candidate will work with technical team members to deliver innovative designs for new product introductions. The candidate will leverage knowledge of analog design & simulation, RF cascade analysis, signal filtering & conditioning, power supply design, and circuit board design process to ensure quality design output. The RF designs this candidate owns will support critical MRI scanner functionality for signal transmit and receive – enabling high fidelity system performance and image quality.
Work Location: Hybrid / On site (3-5 days/wk in office)

Job Description

Essential Responsibilities
Duties include (but are not limited to):

• Own schematic capture and layout for circuit boards implementing small-signal RF, high fidelity ADCs/DACs/PLLs, FPGAs/processors, high speed interfaces, various industry standard digital interfaces, power supplies.
• Write detailed functional specifications that document newly created designs and support product introduction.
• Work with FPGA designer and Firmware Team to define architecture, and support development.  Work with related sub-systems (Tx / Rx coil design, power, cooling, etc) to manage interactions.
• Lead technical investigations with team to retire technical risks and support field issues.
• Test and verify hardware to ensure that they meet specifications and requirements, through bench testing, system integration testing, reliability testing, etc.
• Engage in all phases of new product introduction: concept, architecture, documentation, design, prototype, test, supplier interfaces, manufacturing introduction and service support.
