Sr Manager, RF Design

Role overview

Manage an engineering design team responsible for developing and releasing RF and high-frequency probe card solutions used in semiconductor testing. The role combines people leadership, technical direction, and program delivery, with a focus on design quality, manufacturability, and efficient execution. It also advances shared methods and capabilities across teams and sites.

Responsibilities

- Lead, coach, hire, and develop RF probe card designers; set team goals, performance expectations, and individual development plans. - Direct the design of RF and microwave probe card architectures, transmission line structures, and probe technologies. - Improve design rules, tools, workflows, reuse, and standard practices using metrics and data to raise quality and productivity. - Coordinate resources and manage multiple development projects through design reviews, milestones, and product release. - Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, operations, quality, supply chain, and product teams to balance electrical performance, mechanical needs, cost, and manufacturability. - Support transfer of new products into production design and use structured problem-solving methods to address design and process issues.

Requirements

- A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, physics, or a related engineering discipline. - At least eight years of relevant experience in semiconductor test, RF product development, probe cards, advanced interconnects, microelectronics, PCB design, or a related field. - At least three years in engineering or technical leadership, or people management. - Experience leading cross-functional development from concept through production release and developing high-performing technical teams. - Strong understanding of RF, microwave, and high-speed electrical design, plus experience with probe cards or related semiconductor test hardware. - Familiarity with PCB, thin-film, ceramic, or advanced substrate technologies and SMT manufacturing; experience improving design methods and productivity is also expected.

Nice to have

Experience with global engineering teams, design automation, and methods such as DFMEA, PFMEA, root-cause analysis, Lean, Six Sigma, DOE, SPC, or Gage R&R.
