Microwave/analog Electronics Design Engineer

Job description

About us
Thales Nederland is active in the Defence and Security sectors and is, with more than 2000 employees, the top provider of high-tech jobs. Product innovation and swift anticipation of the newest technological possibilities are the mainsprings of our business. Thales Nederland is a world leader in the naval radar market, producing high-tech radar systems that continuously push technology boundaries. These radar systems consist of active electronically scanned phased array antennas that combine different technological disciplines at high levels of integration. Thales Nederland is part of the Thales Group, which has a workforce of 70,000 in more than 50 countries making it one of Europe's largest electronics companies.

The development of modern phased array radars requires a multi-disciplinary approach in which the functional concept, the antenna, the electronics, and the electrical and cooling infrastructure are addressed simultaneously. In this multi-disciplinary team, the working area consists the development of new antenna and/or microwave concepts, introduction of new technologies and development of new Radar front-end designs. For the department RF Engineering, we are looking for a:

Microwave/analog Electronics Design Engineer

About the job
Your work will cover the full spectrum of activities, from development to product realization. Capturing the functional requirements, design decomposition, defining the optimal circuit architecture, detailed design with verification through analysis/simulation (with Matlab, LT-Spice, ADS or HFSS) and prototyping, supporting the PCB design and product realization and finally verification through test and validation.

You will be responsible for the analogue parts of the Radar front-end, in close cooperation with other disciplines (i.e., system designers, FPGA engineers, RF engineers and PCB designers), often in an international environment. Depending on your skills and preferences you can work on RF/microwave circuits (generally in the frequency range from 1 to 40 GHz) or on lower frequency analogue circuits including A/D-converters (generally below 1 GHz).
