About the role

We’re looking for a Principal RFIC Engineer to set the technical direction for the advanced beamformer integrated circuits at the heart of our phased array solutions. As a foundational technical leader, you’ll help set the direction of both our product and silicon roadmap, define the architectures that underpin our systems, and establish the design culture and methodology the team scales on.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • 10+ years of relevant experience in RFIC or RF/mm-wave circuit design, with a track record of leading complex designs from architecture through silicon
  • Expert proficiency with industry-standard design and simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, ADS, and EM simulators such as EMX, HFSS, or Momentum)
  • Authoritative grounding in RF fundamentals: matching, noise, linearity, and S-parameters
  • MSc or PhD with a focus on RFIC design
  • Experience designing beamformers or phased array front-end ICs
More about this role

Roguebeam is a startup developing advanced phased array systems for communications and radar applications. We design and manufacture complete systems in-house—RF, antenna, digital, and DSP—giving our engineers end-to-end ownership of the technology and a direct line of sight from silicon to deployed system.

We’re early, we’re growing fast, and the people who join us now will shape both the technology and the company.

You’ll work across RFIC design from architecture through tape-out and bring-up, partnering closely with antenna, digital, and DSP teams. As a principal-level individual contributor, you’ll be the person others turn to on the hardest RF problems, and the decisions you make will ripple through every product we build.
