• Design, simulate, and validate microwave circuits and RF components
• Perform laboratory testing, prototype validation, and troubleshooting
• Support new product introduction and internal validation processes
• Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to transform specifications into high-performance hardware
• Ensure rigorous documentation and engineering quality standards

Key Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering or related field
• 1+ years of experience in active microwave design (telecom experience preferred)
• Understanding of point-to-point ODU architectures (1+0, 1+1, 2+0, N+0)
• Familiarity with radio systems up to 80 GHz
• Knowledge of ITU, ETSI, ANSI standards and EMC/safety compliance
• Strong analytical mindset and structured problem-solving approach
• Team-oriented attitude and proactive engineering ownership
• Proficiency in English (Italian is a plus)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with microwave circuits for mobile telecom applications
• Familiarity with MMIC design and testing processes

Why Join Us?
