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.\nWe’re early, we’re growing fast, and the people who join us now will shape both the technology and the company.\nThe Role\nWe’re looking for a Senior RFIC Engineer to lead the design of advanced beamformer integrated circuits at the heart of our phased array solutions. You’ll 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.\nYou’ll own RFIC design from architecture through tape-out and bring-up, working shoulder-to-shoulder with antenna, digital, and DSP teams-and you’ll help define how RFIC fits into the broader product and silicon roadmap. The decisions you make will ripple through every product we build.\nResponsibilities\nDesign RFIC beamformers and associated RF/mm-wave building blocks (phase shifters, attenuators, LNAs, PAs, mixers, switches) for phased array systems\n\nDrive designs from specification and architecture definition through schematic, layout, tape-out, and silicon validation\n\nRun circuit and system-level simulations covering linearity, noise, gain/phase control accuracy, and power\n\nCollaborate with antenna, digital, and DSP teams to ensure RFIC performance meets full-system requirements\n\nSupport lab characterization, debug, and design iteration of fabricated parts\n\nOwn architecture and design trade-offs for major RFIC blocks, balancing performance, power, area, and schedule\n\nMentor and review the work of less experienced engineers\n\nHelp define design flows, methodology, and technical standards across the team\n\nMinimum Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field\n\n6+ years of relevant experience in RFIC or RF/mm-wave circuit design, including ownership of designs through tape-out and bring-up\n\nStrong proficiency with industry-standard design and simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, ADS, and EM simulators such as EMX, HFSS, or Momentum)\n\nDeep grounding in RF fundamentals: matching, noise, linearity, and S-parameters\n\nPreferred qualifications\nMSc or PhD with a focus on RFIC design\n\nExperience designing beamformers or phased array front-end ICs\n\nFamiliarity with mm-wave design and silicon technologies (SiGe BiCMOS, CMOS, GaAs/GaN)\n\nExperience taking designs through tape-out and post-silicon validation\n\nBackground in communications or radar system requirements\n\nWhy Roguebeam\nThis is a rare ground-floor opportunity. Joining a startup at this stage means your work has a direct, visible effect on whether the company succeeds-and a corresponding upside as we grow. Because we build the entire system in-house, you’ll see your RFIC designs integrated into real phased arrays and deployed in working systems, not handed off and forgotten. You’ll have real ownership and a seat at the table on technical direction.\nThis position requires access to information controlled under ITAR/EAR; applicants must be U.S. persons as defined in 22 CFR 120.62","description_format":"text","description_chars":3275,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-28T14:53:40Z"}],"liveness":{"score":55,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.733,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":32,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-09-30T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/roguebeam-sr-rfic-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/roguebeam-sr-rfic-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-01T04:18:08Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3605,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1395,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-02T00:00:00Z"}}}
