About the role
We are looking for a Senior RF Engineer to join our hardware team. Working closely with our Head of RF, you will drive RF development, bring-up, and support from early prototyping through production validation.
What they're looking for
- Deep expertise in Bluetooth Classic and BLE RF implementation
- Background in hearing aid, earbud, or ear-worn product development, with an understanding of the unique RF and form-factor constraints these products impose
- Strong RF simulation skills (ideally CST Studio) — you use these simulation tools to make informed design decisions before committing to hardware
- Expert-level electrical engineering skills: schematic capture, circuit analysis, component selection, and close collaboration with the electrical engineering team on PCB layout to minimize desense (Altium preferred)
- Hands-on prototyping and lab skills — comfortable with spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and the full RF bench toolkit
- Experience taking complex RF designs through the full product lifecycle: from architecture through validation and into production
More about this role
Fortell is designing better hearing aids for life as it's meant to be heard. Traditional hearing aids make everything louder but they don't do enough to help the brain separate conversation from noise. Fortell uses a custom AI chip to separate speech from noise in real time, amplifying the important speech and attenuating the noise.
We are backed by Thrive Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Founders Fund, Optum Ventures, Lux Capital, Vast Ventures, Good Friends, Positive Sum, Stonecroft, and Atreides Management. Our debut product is available now at Fortell Audiology on Park Avenue and 61st Street.

You've shipped products where RF was genuinely hard, constrained form factors, limited power budgets, tightly packaged electronics, and you came out the other side with something that actually works. You're as comfortable at the bench with a spectrum analyzer as you are in a schematic review, and you bring deep intuition for what it takes to make RF work in these small,...
