Sr RFIC Designer

About RoguebeamRoguebeam is a startup developing advanced phased array systems for communications and radar applications. We design and manufacture complete systems in-houseRF, antenna, digital, and DSPgiving our engineers end-to-end ownership of the technology and a direct line of sight from silicon to deployed system.Were early, were growing fast, and the people who join us now will shape both the technology and the company.The RoleWere looking for a Senior RFIC Engineer to lead the design of advanced beamformer integrated circuits at the heart of our phased array solutions. Youll take ownership of significant blocks of our silicon, drive architecture and design decisions, and help set the technical standards the rest of the team builds on.Youll own RFIC design from architecture through tape-out and bring-up, working shoulder-to-shoulder with antenna, digital, and DSP teamsand youll help define how RFIC fits into the broader product and silicon roadmap. The decisions you make will ripple through every product we build.ResponsibilitiesDesign RFIC beamformers and associated RF/mm-wave building blocks (phase shifters, attenuators, LNAs, PAs, mixers, switches) for phased array systemsDrive designs from specification and architecture definition through schematic, layout, tape-out, and silicon validationRun circuit and system-level simulations covering linearity, noise, gain/phase control accuracy, and powerCollaborate with antenna, digital, and DSP teams to ensure RFIC performance meets full-system requirementsSupport lab characterization, debug, and design iteration of fabricated partsOwn architecture and design trade-offs for major RFIC blocks, balancing performance, power, area, and scheduleMentor and review the work of less experienced engineersHelp define design flows, methodology, and technical standards across the teamMinimum QualificationsBachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field6+ years of relevant experience in RFIC or RF/mm-wave circuit design, including ownership of designs through tape-out and bring-upStrong proficiency with industry-standard design and simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, ADS, and EM simulators such as EMX, HFSS, or Momentum)Deep grounding in RF fundamentals: matching, noise, linearity, and S-parametersPreferred qualificationsMSc or PhD with a focus on RFIC designExperience designing beamformers or phased array front-end ICsFamiliarity with mm-wave design and silicon technologies (SiGe BiCMOS, CMOS, GaAs/GaN)Experience taking designs through tape-out and post-silicon validationBackground in communications or radar system requirementsWhy RoguebeamThis is a rare ground-floor opportunity. Joining a startup at this stage means your work has a direct, visible effect on whether the company succeedsand a corresponding upside as we grow. Because we build the entire system in-house, youll see your RFIC designs integrated into real phased arrays and deployed in working systems, not handed off and forgotten. Youll have real ownership and a seat at the table on technical direction.
