Radio Frequency Engineering Manager

Engineering Manager Overview We are seeking an Engineering Manager to oversee product development and manufacturing integration for high-performance electronic components and modules. This role leads a team responsible for moving new technologies from development into qualified, high-volume production. The position emphasizes product performance, manufacturing readiness, process control, reliability, and cost optimization. The ideal candidate combines technical expertise in RF and microwave engineering with hands-on testing experience, manufacturing process knowledge, and engineering team leadership. Engineering Manager Responsibilities Manage and develop a team of engineers supporting new product development and manufacturing integration. Oversee product transitions from initial feasibility and design through validation, qualification, production ramp-up, and release. Collaborate with design, research and development, manufacturing, quality, reliability, and supply chain teams to ensure successful product launches. Evaluate product designs, simulations, tolerances, and production capabilities to ensure performance and manufacturability requirements are met. Develop test methodologies, technical specifications, and procedures for product characterization and production testing. Oversee electrical testing, performance analysis, and measurement correlation across manufacturing sites and test platforms. Improve production yield, product reliability, process capability, and manufacturing costs. Lead root cause investigations and corrective actions using statistical analysis and structured problem-solving methods. Establish process controls, qualification criteria, and manufacturing performance metrics. Support supplier qualification, process validation, and the implementation of new technologies. Ensure products meet quality standards, customer requirements, and applicable industry regulations. Monitor development schedules, production readiness, and continuous improvement initiatives. Engineering Manager Qualifications Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, including coursework in microwave theory.5+ years of experience in RF/microwave product engineering, manufacturing engineering, or new product introduction.5+ years of engineering team management experience. Experience transitioning RF products from development through qualification and stable, high-volume manufacturing. Hands-on experience with RF component and module testing, characterization, and data analysis. Strong understanding of RF/microwave theory, test equipment, multi-port S-parameter measurements, and performance parameters such as IP3, P1dB, and noise figure. Experience developing test plans, validating measurement setups, and correlating results across sites or test platforms. Knowledge of statistical process control (SPC), design of experiments (DOE), root cause analysis, and manufacturing process improvement. Familiarity with product development and qualification frameworks, including APQP or PPAP.Strong leadership, analytical, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills. Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident (Green Card holder).
