Filter Design Engineer
Location: Dallas, TX
Type: Full-time
About the Role
We are looking for a skilled Filter Design Engineer to join our RF design and development team. In this role, you will design and optimize RF/microwave filters and multiplexers that are critical to next-generation wireless infrastructure, including 5G, 6G, and advanced radio systems. You will work closely with RF, antenna, and system engineers to ensure high-performance, low-loss, and reliable filter solutions for deployment in cutting-edge telecom networks.
Key Responsibilities
-
Design, model, and simulate RF/microwave filters (LC, cavity, ceramic, SAW, BAW, etc.) to meet system-level performance requirements.
-
Develop high-Q filtering solutions for sub-6 GHz and mmWave frequency bands.
-
Support the integration of filters into transceivers, radio units, and base station platforms.
-
Conduct electromagnetic simulations using tools such as HFSS, CST, ADS, or Microwave Office.
-
Collaborate with antenna and RF teams to minimize interference and optimize coexistence between bands.
-
Perform prototyping, tuning, and characterization of filters in lab and field environments.
-
Analyze filter performance across temperature, power, and environmental stress conditions.
-
Generate technical documentation, test reports, and contribute to patents and publications.
-
Stay updated on advancements in 5G/6G frequency allocations, material technologies, and miniaturization techniques to drive innovation in RF filter design.
Qualifications
-
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related field.
-
5+ years of experience in RF/microwave filter design within the telecom, semiconductor, or defense industries.
-
Expertise in filter design methodologies (cavity, lumped element, planar, SAW/BAW).
-
Strong skills in EM simulation and circuit design tools (ADS, HFSS, CST, Microwave Office).
-
Hands-on experience in filter prototyping, tuning, and measurement using VNAs and RF test equipment.
-
Understanding of wireless communication standards (LTE, 5G NR, and emerging 6G bands).
-
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills.
Nice to Have
-
Experience with high-power filters for base stations and massive MIMO systems.
-
Knowledge of multiplexer and diplexer design for multi-band systems.
-
Familiarity with advanced materials (LTCC, ceramics, acoustic wave technologies).
-
Background in thermal and mechanical design considerations for RF filters.
-
Experience in semiconductor or wireless infrastructure development.
