Senior RF Design Engineer Position Available at Oculii

Senior RF Design Engineer

Company Description:

Oculii is an advanced radar sensor developer specializing in 3D radar design and fusion. 3D sensors have traditionally been the domain of high power, expensive military grade radar or laser systems. Backed by top-tier Silicon Valley angel investors and VCs - we've turned this paradigm on its head, leveraging advanced sensor fusion techniques to manufacture smarter, high precision sensors and systems. Our technology allows us to extract unprecedented accuracy, range, and 3D positioning information from commodity off the shelf low-cost radar elements, bringing high resolution radar imaging to the next frontier. Come help us build the future of radar sensing technology!

Our work emphasizes RF sensing, signal processing, target feature exploitation, and prototype system development for complicated operating environments. Challenging problems are analyzed in a comprehensive manner taking into account underlying physics, experimental data, and system operating concepts. The group synergistically combines hardware know-how with digital signal processing to enable new radar and intelligence data collection capabilities. Our technologies move beyond classical radar signal detection and imaging to exploit target features and data fusion from multiple sensor modes as well as multiple sensor platforms, thereby enhancing detection and tracking in challenging environments.

Job Description:

• The Senior RF Design Engineer will be a key contributor to the evolution of Oculii’s 3D radar technology. They will work with Oculii’s core technology team to drive the miniaturization of Oculii radar front-end modules and signal conditioning systems into integrated circuits. The ideal candidate will have excellent fundamentals and understand the pros and cons of different RF technologies, as well as possess the creativity to use standard components in nontraditional and very innovative ways. The candidate will have a strong understanding of the design flow from concept through production, and will work with the software systems and algorithm team to develop cutting edge radar technology.

Responsibilities:

• Drive the development of Oculii’s core technology in an integrated form
• Participate in systems design / functional requirements and specifications for new RF elements (including transceivers, PLL’s, etc) as related to Oculii’s core technology
• Work with and integrate off the shelf integrated RF elements (including transceivers, PA’s, LNA’s, filters, etc.) to fit within Oculii’s system architecture and design
• Perform/Oversee testing on new designs to ensure requirements such as gain, noise figure, 1db compression point, distortion limits, and impedance matching are met
• Design/implement novel analog circuits for applications like loop back calibration to match the gain and phase on multiple LO paths
• Work with software and core technology teams to specify and design control interfaces

Requirements:

• 10+ years of experience in hands-on design of complex high frequency Microwave RF systems (ideally transceivers) including many sub-circuits
• Understanding of transceiver requirements in FMCW, FSK radars at 24 GHz and 77 GHz 
• Experience using different technologies (CMOS, SiGe, SOI, and/or GaAs, etc.)
• Comfortable in ADS, Cadence, and other packages for RF design & layout
• Comfortable with lab equipment and setting up tests using signal analyzers, generators, VNAs, etc.

• Experience with multi-chip modules and passives integration
• Experience with board level design and layout
• Experience with RFIC design

Perks:

• Competitive Pay and Options Package
• Sunny, open, collaborative workspace
• Opportunity to work with great people!
