RF Electrical Engineer

RF Electrical Engineer By Hello Promaxo / September 20, 2024 Role As an RF Electrical Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, developing, and testing electronic subsystems that function safely and effectively within the MRI environment. You'll collaborate closely with mechanical engineers, software developers, clinicians, imaging scientists, and external partners to bring next-generation MRI systems from prototype through clinical deployment. Key Responsibilities Design and develop RF coils and RF systems for low-field MRI applications Design and validate RF subsystems for pneumatically actuated MRI robotic platforms, ensuring signal integrity, electromagnetic safety, and MRI compliance Perform circuit analysis and simulation to optimize PCBA design and component selection Create schematics and lay out PCBAs using Altium Designer (or equivalent tools) Coordinate with suppliers for component sourcing, fabrication, and prototype assembly Build and test PCBAs in the lab; perform system-level integration and verification Conduct electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) assessments and ensure compliance with MRI safety standards Collaborate on integration of subsystems including RF transmit/receive coils, logic controllers, SDRs, RF amplifiers, gradient amplifiers, and power supplies Develop and execute test plans for component and system-level validation Troubleshoot and resolve hardware issues during production and field deployment Contribute to regulatory documentation and verification activities (e.g., ISO 13485, IEC 60601) Required Qualifications Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering , Biomedical Engineering , or a related field 5+ years of hands-on experience in RF system development Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium Designer or equivalent) Experience with circuit simulation tools (e.g., SPICE) Practical experience designing RF circuits (matching networks, baluns, resonators, filters, antennas) Proven ability to manage and collaborate with external vendors and contractors Experience working in multidisciplinary teams, ideally within medical or regulated environments Preferred Qualifications Experience developing MRI subsystems (e.g., magnet, RF coil, gradient coil, amplifier, or SDR-based data acquisition systems) Experience with EM field solvers for RF antenna/coil design (e.g., Sim4Life, x

FDTD, HFSS
