RF Systems Engineer

Hiring: Founding RF Systems Engineer | Phased Arrays & Satellite Communications

Boston area, just north of Cambridge | On-site

$20M+ pre-seed funding. MIT roots. Advanced 3D chips for defense radar and satellite communications.

I’m partnering with a semiconductor startup combining different chip materials into vertically integrated 3D systems, bringing RF, silicon, power and packaging together in a single device.

Their founder is an MIT Fellow who led world-first demonstrations of these 3D chips.

Now, they’re hiring their first RF Systems Engineer to shape the architecture behind their radar and satellite communications products.

You’ll own:

• Translating customer requirements into RF system architecture, budgets and block-level specifications


• Making design trades across phased arrays, beamformers, T/R modules and transceiver chains


• Defining link budgets, noise figure, linearity, EIRP and dynamic-range requirements


• Working across RFIC/MMIC, electromagnetics, analog and packaging teams to deliver integrated hardware


• Validating assembled systems through measurement, calibration and over-the-air characterization


• Acting as the technical interface to customer systems teams, from requirements through acceptance

I’d love to speak with engineers who have personally taken RF or millimeter-wave hardware through development and into shipped radar, satellite or wireless products.

Phased Arrays experience is mandatory

upto $180K base + founding-team equity

• Full medical, dental and vision coverage, 401(k) with 4% company match, and daily meals.
