Job Description:

About the Company Mission Microwave Technologies was founded in 2014 to revolutionize the next generation of Solid-State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) and Block Upconverters (BUCs). We utilize advanced GaN transistors, unique power-combining technology, and innovative full-system designs to create the industry’s most efficient, lightweight, and compact high-power SSPAs. Our leadership team brings more than 100 years of combined experience delivering high-performance, high-reliability SSPAs to commercial, military, and space customers. In just 10 years, our rapid growth and industry-leading innovation have attracted private-equity ownership and national recognition. We’re proud to be ranked 23 on the Fortune Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production and certified as a Great Place to Work® since 2022. Mission Microwave’s headquarters are located at 6060 Phyllis Drive, Cypress, CA 90603. About the Role As an Analog Circuit Designer, you’ll lead the design, development, and optimization of AC-DC and DC-DC converters, filters, distribution, and monitor/control (M&C) boards that power revolutionary SSPAs and BUCs. Your work will enable high-efficiency, high-power RF systems for ground-based, airborne, and space-based applications. You’ll drive technical innovation, mentor engineering teams, and collaborate closely with customers, program managers, RF engineers, and manufacturing teams to ensure every design meets mission-critical performance, reliability, and regulatory standards. This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of analog circuit design, power electronics, and high-reliability RF systems. What You’ll Do Lead the design, analysis, and optimization of AC-DC and DC-DC converters, filters, distribution, and M&C boards for RF/microwave systems. Drive technical innovation using emerging semiconductor technologies for high-efficiency, high-power RF applications. Develop power distribution system architectures and technical specifications. Perform complex analog circuit design, simulation, and modeling using tools such as LTspice, LTpowerCAD, and LTpowerPlanner. Lead multidisciplinary engineering teams through complete product development lifecycles from concept to production. Conduct design reviews, risk assessments, and technical trade studies to ensure optimal solutions. Select components and ensure designs meet performance, reliability, and environmental requirements including MIL-STD and DO-160 compliance. Support prototype development, testing, and qualification for space and airborne systems. Implement power electronics designs, including switching power supplies and DC-DC converters for RF systems. Ensure EMI/EMC compliance and design for regulatory requirements in aerospace applications. Generate and maintain documentation within version control and configuration management systems. Collaborate with customers and cross-functional teams to define technical requirements and system specifications. Interface with suppliers to ensure component reliability and obsolescence mitigation. Represent Mission Microwave at technical conferences, customer meetings, and industry forums. Mentor junior and mid-level engineers in analog design principles and best practices. Provide technical guidance on complex engineering challenges and design optimization. Foster a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence within the engineering organization. Ensure all designs comply with industry standards, regulations, and customer requirements. Support quality assurance activities including design verification and validation testing. What You Bring Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related field (MS/PhD preferred). 5 years of experience in analog circuit design and power electronics development, with a strong track record of designing and producing power supplies. Expert-level knowledge of analog circuit design principles and power distribution architectures. Extensive experience with analog simulation tools such as LTspice, LTpowerCAD, LTpowerPlanner, or similar platforms. Deep understanding of semiconductor technologies for power generation. Proficiency in switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, and thermal management for high-power RF systems. Knowledge of EMI/EMC design principles and aerospace regulatory compliance. Experience designing systems for aerospace, defense, or satellite communication applications. Familiarity with MIL-STD requirements, space qualification, and DO-160, MIL-STD-461 standards. Understanding of SATCOM, radar, or electronic warfare system requirements. Strong leadership and mentorship skills with experience guiding engineering teams. Excellent communication, presentation, and technical writing skills. Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Active security clearance or ability to obtain clearance preferred. At Mission Microwave, you don’t just take a job; you step into a mission that matters. We design and build world-class RF and microwave solutions that power the technologies behind defense, space, and next-generation communications, and we do it with precision, purpose, and pride. Here, your ideas are heard, your expertise is trusted, and your impact is visible from the first design review to the moment our products perform in the most demanding environments on Earth and beyond. You’ll work alongside intelligent, driven people who care deeply about craftsmanship, collaboration, and doing the right thing, in a culture that values growth, integrity, and human connection as much as technical excellence.
