Linx Corporate Summary
Incorporated in April 1997, Linx Technologies is committed to making Wireless Made Simple. Linx provides a wide variety of hybrid wireless modules, OEM RF products and interface solutions all of which are designed to speed the addition of RF capabilities to any product.
Linx Corporate Headquarters is a state-of-the-art 20,000+ square foot facility located in beautiful Southern Oregon. Working at Linx, you'll enjoy the unique atmosphere of a rapidly growing technology company that's still small enough to have a family atmosphere. Your skills and talents will be pushed daily to new limits in seeking innovative solutions to unique challenges, and your efforts will not go unnoticed.
This position is responsible for designing and building electronic and RF circuits with minimal supervision. Designs will include low-power narrowband and spread spectrum RF circuits operating in the 260MHz-2.4GHz ranges. Will research and specify components, then create schematics and multi-layered PCB layouts using standard software. Will test and qualify designs, then document and transition them into high-volume production. Will work with customers on customized products and create custom specifications.
Qualifications
Must possess all necessary skills to take an RF design from concept to production. Must have experience with narrowband and spread spectrum radio designs and a strong applied knowledge of the test and qualification of base-band, digital, and RF circuits. Should be able to research and identify components appropriate to meet design objectives and plan and execute designs to meet engineering targets. Should be familiar with all equipment necessary to prove and test a design. Hands-on skills such as soldering of fine-pitch components, troubleshooting, and characterization measurements are a must. Experience with RF PCB layout using CAD tools, such as Protel, would be beneficial. Candidate must be both technically qualified and able to interface well in a close-knit, non-competitive team environment. The duties of this position would generally be reflected by a MSEE or BSEE with 5+ years of experience; however, industry experience will be considered if it has resulted in an equivalent skill set.
This position is responsible for defining electronic and RF designs and carrying them from concept to completion with little or no supervision. Designs range from tiny low-power narrowband RF modules to higher power spread spectrum RF circuits operating in the 260MHz-2.4GHz ranges. Will research and specify components, then create schematics and multi-layered PCB layouts using standard software. Will test and qualify designs, then document and transition them into high-volume production. Will design test fixtures and procedures for production testing of products. Will troubleshoot and pursue corrective actions for any production issues. Will also work on the development of mechanical designs, such as enclosures. Will document all aspects of designs for internal archive as well as instructions for production. Will work with customers on customized products and create custom specifications. Will assist and mentor junior engineers.
Qualifications
Must have a strong theoretical knowledge of RF concepts coupled with a history of successful practical application. Must have experience with both narrowband and spread spectrum radio designs and prior experience in the test and qualification of base-band, digital, and RF circuits. Should be able to research and identify components appropriate to meet design objectives and plan and execute designs to meet engineering targets. Should be familiar with all equipment necessary to prove and test a design. Must have solid understanding of RF theory such as transmission lines, matching and harmonics. Should understand antenna function and the various requirements thereof. Knowledge of Legal requirements such as FCC part 15.231.247, and 249 will be of benefit. Hands-on skills such as soldering of fine-pitch components, troubleshooting, and characterization measurements are a must. Experience with PCB layout using CAD tools, such as Protel, would be beneficial. Should be adept at technical writing. Experience with RF PCB layout using CAD tools, such as Protel, would be beneficial. Candidate must be technically qualified, self-motivated, and able to interface well in a close-knit, non-competitive team environment. The duties of this position would generally be reflected by a MSEE or PHD with 7+ years of experience; however, industry experience will be considered if it has resulted in an equivalent skill set.
This position is responsible for the maintenance of test fixtures and software for testing final product. Will maintain quality control documentation and data, including First Article testing and production statistics. Should be able to test product manually or automatically to identify the cause of failures and pursue corrective actions. Should be able to rework and repair product, including soldering fine pitch ICs and 0402 components. Will test returns and write test reports for customers.
Qualifications
Skills expected at this level include good understanding of electronics and test equipment, basic understanding of RF, good organizational skills, intermediate math, excellent solder skills, and the ability to troubleshoot to the component level. Should be familiar with all common test equipment, including: oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, network analyzers, signal generators, etc.
This position is responsible for applications engineering and technical support. This includes frequently interfacing with current customers to assist with the implementation of our products in their designs, and with new customers to help them select the appropriate product. Will follow up on leads generated by marketing efforts to gain new customers and increase sales. Will also be responsible for creating and maintaining application notes and knowledgebase articles with assistance from senior engineers.
Qualifications
Must have foundational knowledge of RF and electronics and be able to convey complicated ideas in simple terms. Must have professional presence on the telephone and in writing.
