Détails du poste

We're hiring an Intermediate RF Engineer to support the design, integration, and verification of advanced RF systems — including RF routers, fiber extenders, DIFI-based RF-over-IP, and transceiver front-end systems — for mission-critical applications. You'll work under the guidance of senior engineering staff, taking ownership of defined design tasks and bench verification, while growing into broader systems-level responsibility over time. This is a hands-on role: you'll be at the bench with a VNA, spectrum analyzer, and signal generator regularly, not just reviewing others' data. What You'll Do RF System & Subsystem Design Design and support RF receiver chain elements from antenna port to ADC (LNAs, filters, mixers, amplifiers, switching networks), under senior engineer guidance for system-level architecture Contribute to RF link budget analysis across HF–Ka-band, including path loss, atmospheric effects, and interference margin Support noise figure budgets and cascade analyses; help verify NF, IP3, P1dB, spurious, and dynamic range requirements Design RF analog circuit elements (matching networks, bias circuits, AGC loops) with support from senior staff on system integration Apply RF propagation models (free-space, two-ray, terrain-diffraction) to support system validation Verification & Lab Work Execute test and verification of assigned designs at the bench (VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, oscilloscope) Perform NF measurements (Y-factor/cold-source), IMD/IP3 two-tone tests, and spurious emission sweeps under established test plans Support root-cause analysis of design failures and assist in implementing corrective actions Support qualification testing (MIL-STD-810 environmental, MIL-STD-461 EMI/EMC) as directed Systems Engineering Contribute to requirements review and schematic generation for assigned subsystems Support documentation: test plans, test conformance forms, and RMA failure analysis input Participate in design reviews and provide technical input Collaborate with signal processing, firmware, and mechanical engineering teams on integration What You Bring — Required Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related discipline 4–7 years of professional RF hardware design experience (adjust range as needed for your internal leveling) Solid RF analog design fundamentals: experience with LNA, filter, mixer, or amplifier design (does not need to span all of these at expert level) Working understanding of radio wave propagation (free-space loss, multipath, terrain effects) Some exposure to RF link budget modeling Hands-on experience with core RF test equipment: VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator (noise figure measurement experience a plus, not required) Familiarity with at least one RF/EDA toolset (Keysight ADS, Microwave Office, PADS, Xpedition, or similar) Eligible for Government of Canada Reliability Status or Security Clearance Preferred (Not Required) Master's degree in EE, RF/Microwave specialization Exposure to RF digital design concepts: FPGA-based DSP, digital down-conversion, SDR architectures, JESD204B or similar Familiarity with DIFI (VITA 49.2) RF-over-IP standards Experience in defence-standard procurement environments (PWGSC/DND, ITAR, Controlled Goods) Exposure to RFSoC platforms (Xilinx/AMD Zynq UltraScale+) MIL-STD-461/810 testing exposure Background in EW, SIGINT, or spectrum monitoring receiver design What we Offer: Employer funded benefits program Competitive total compensation package Work-Life Balance Employee assistance plan Employee Discount Platform Career Progression Casual Work Environment Social Events and Sports Teams Onsite Counsellor Location: Burlington, Ontario Hours: Monday to Friday, 40 hours per week Vacancy: This is a newly created position Salary Range: $80,000 to $140,000 per year, based on experience About Evertz Microsystems (TSX: ET) Evertz is a global leader in broadcast technology, delivering cutting-edge hardware and software solutions that deliver content to television sets, on-demand services, WebTV, IPTV, and mobile devices (like phones and tablets) worldwide.
