RF/Microwave Engineer I

About the Role

TTM Technologies, Inc. is a leading global manufacturer of technology products, including mission systems, radio frequency (“RF”) components, RF microwave/microelectronic assemblies, and technologically advanced printed circuit boards (“PCB”s).

Key Responsibilities

• Understand customer specifications and drawings to assist in proposal and development efforts.
• Assist in estimating timeframe of design efforts.
• Work independently or within a team environment; ensure that project schedules are met.
• Work with interns, test engineering, and engineering technicians on specific program tasks, including test procedure development, test station development, and data reduction software.
• Design and evaluate components using available design and layout tools.
• Follow established standard design process.
• Understand manufacturing approach and limitations; perform review before design release.
• Prepare presentations for gated internal and customer design reviews, providing nominal simulation results along with tolerances analysis.
• Design and evaluate test circuits; correlate expected performance with test results.
• Perform data reduction and present results in a clear and concise manner.
• Provide support once the design is in production, support the MRB process, and provide reports to customers as needed.
• Provide training and guidance to interns, co-ops, and technicians.
• Engage with professional development activities, including trade shows/conferences and professional societies.
• RF microwave engineering responsibilities associated with new product development or internal R&D efforts, including design efforts ranging from simple RF microwave components to complex microwave assemblies driven by customer or internal specifications.
• Design includes 3D-simulations, design optimization based on fabrication tolerances, and assessing performance relative to requirements.
• Participate in proposal efforts and technical reviews.
• Verification and qualification of the designs.
