Senior Technical Engineer
LinkedIn Recruiter Post
Senior Technical Engineer needed for nuclear engineering contract in Pickering, ON. Requires 6 - 8 years experience and ECC systems knowledge.
About the role
- Mid-level RF engineer supporting technical management, production readiness of an UT Modem/RF module for Telesat's LEO network. Involves significant hands-on work and cross-functional collaboration.
Responsibilities
- Serve as a technical owner for an RF module supporting DVB‑S/S2/S2X and/or DVB‑RCS2 operation in a LEO satellite network.
- Support RF architecture definition and performance budgets (gain, noise figure, linearity, phase noise, spurious emissions).
- Ensure RF performance compliance across process, voltage, temperature, aging, and environmental corners.
- Support system‑level trade studies and impact assessments when requirements or operating conditions evolve.
- Review and approve RF schematics and PCB layouts produced by internal or external design teams.
- Ensure adherence to best practices for RF grounding and isolation, EMI/EMC mitigation, shielding and thermal management, mixed‑signal partitioning.
- Participate in formal design and readiness reviews (PDR, CDR, MRR), identifying technical risks and proposing mitigation strategies.
- Act as the engineering interface to contract manufacturers (CMs), ODMs, and key suppliers.
- Lead or support DFM/DFT/DFS reviews, with focus on yield, repeatability, and long‑term producibility.
- Define and maintain manufacturing test strategies, acceptance criteria, golden units and correlation plans.
- Support EVT/DVT/PVT builds and production ramp‑up.
- Analyze production data (yield, fallout, trends) and drive root‑cause analysis and corrective actions.
- Own or support ECO/ECR processes, ensuring controlled and traceable changes throughout the product lifecycle.
- Develop, review, and maintain RF, functional, and system‑level test procedures.
- Support validation and production testing including: EVM / MER, ACLR, phase noise, harmonics and spurious emissions, DVB waveform compliance.
- Work closely with system and test teams to ensure requirements traceability and verification completeness.
- Support environmental, thermal, and reliability testing aligned with high‑reliability or aerospace practices.
- Support embedded control architectures used to configure and monitor RF hardware.
- Review and support interfaces such as SPI, I²C, and UART.
- Collaborate with firmware teams on board bring‑up, calibration and compensation routines, telemetry, health monitoring, and diagnostics.
- Ensure embedded control supports both manufacturing test and in‑service operation.
- Provide ongoing engineering support for deployed hardware, including field issues, performance anomalies, failure analysis and returns.
- Manage component lifecycle risks, including obsolescence and second‑source qualification.
- Maintain configuration control, technical documentation, and manufacturing records in PLM systems.
Requirements
- B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or related discipline (M.Sc. preferred).
- 3–6 years of experience supporting RF hardware in production or operational environments.
- Strong understanding of RF components and subsystems (LNAs, mixers, PLLs, PAs, filters).
- Experience reviewing RF schematics and PCB layouts, rather than performing layout work.
- Familiarity with DVB physical‑layer concepts and performance metrics.
- Hands‑on experience supporting test development and automation (e.g., Python/SCPI, LabVIEW).
- Demonstrated experience working with manufacturing partners and supporting production issues.
- Strong documentation, change management, and cross‑team communication skills.
Benefits
- This position will be based out of the Ottawa, ON office
- Full-time office or hybrid 4 days office/1 day remote, subject to work needs
- Working conditions are generally comfortable typical of an office environment.
- Combination of lab, manufacturing, and office work.
- On‑site presence required for debug, FA, and production support activities.
- Occasional travel to manufacturing and UT development partners and test facilities (≈10–15%).
- Candidate must be able to obtain relevant security clearance for Canada
