Electrical Engineer II-Schaumburg, IL

Put your RF engineering expertise to work designing, debugging, and validating wireless communication systems. As an Electrical Engineer II, you'll build and test circuits, troubleshoot performance issues, and support product redesign efforts from early development through verification. Your work will involve RF circuit design, wireless communication theory, and hands-on use of industry-standard test equipment.

This role is a great fit for an engineer who enjoys seeing designs come to life on the bench. You'll work with PLLs, VCOs, receivers, RF power amplifiers, and related technologies while partnering with other engineering disciplines to improve product performance. The ideal candidate can work independently, communicate complex findings clearly, and manage multiple design efforts without losing focus on quality.
