Radio Frequency Design Engineer

Role Overview and Responsibilities

Dhruva Space is looking for an experienced RF Design Engineer – SDR Hardware to join our engineering team. This role is ideal for a professional with strong expertise in SDR hardware design, including schematics, PCB layout, RF front-end circuitry, and board bring-up / debugging. The candidate will play a critical role in developing baseband and RF front-end modules to enable reliable, high-performance SDR systems for advanced communication applications.

Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to :

• Design schematics and multi-layer PCB layouts for SDR baseband and RF boards.
• Develop baseband hardware using Xilinx RFSoC platforms with high-speed ADCs / DACs or other advanced RF transceivers.
• Design and integrate RF front-end circuits, including LNAs, PAs, filters, baluns, duplexers, and matching networks.
• Apply best practices in signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI / EMC compliance for board design and conduct EMI / EMC testing.
• Conduct board bring-up, debugging, and validation using advanced test equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, VNAs, power meters).
• Collaborate with FPGA / DSP teams for end-to-end system integration of baseband and RF modules.
• Perform component selection, simulations, and design verification.
• Interface with fabrication vendors to ensure manufacturability and DFM compliance.
