Job Description:
Job Description Job Description Ready to make connectivity from
space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve
come to the right place! E-Space is bridging Earth and space to
enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT)
solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth
orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design,
economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with
traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems. We’re
intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100%
committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver
actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect
space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life. We
are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Analog/RFIC
Design Engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you
will be responsible for designing, simulating, and verifying
high-performance analog and RF integrated circuits for applications
such as 5G, IoT, and satellite communications. You will collaborate
with cross-functional teams to define requirements, develop
innovative design solutions, and ensure that products meet the
highest standards of quality and performance. What you will be
doing: Analog/RF Circuit Design : Design, simulate, and optimize
analog and RF IC blocks such as amplifiers, mixers, oscillators,
filters, phase-locked loops (PLLs), low-noise amplifiers (LNAs),
and power amplifiers (PAs) Develop high-performance designs that
meet stringent requirements for power, noise, and linearity
Simulation and Verification : Conduct detailed circuit simulations
and optimizations using industry-standard EDA tools (Cadence,
Mentor Graphics, etc.) Perform pre-tapeout and post-layout
verification to ensure design integrity and performance
specifications are met Layout and Parasitic Extraction : Guide
layout engineers on the physical implementation of analog/RF
blocks, with an understanding of the impact of parasitics and
layout dependencies Conduct post-layout simulations and resolve
layout-related issues to meet performance and yield targets Test
and Validation : Collaborate with test engineers to define test
strategies and design-for-test (DFT) implementations Support
silicon validation and debugging, providing technical expertise to
ensure successful first-pass silicon Cross-functional Collaboration
: Work with system architects, digital designers, and process
technology teams to align on project specifications and timelines
Support product and test engineering teams in production ramp and
yield improvement activities Documentation and Reporting : Document
design processes, circuit blocks, and simulation results in detail
Present design reviews and progress updates to internal teams and
management What you bring to this role: Minimum of 5-10 years of
experience in analog and RFIC design, with a track record of
successful product tape-outs Proficient in analog/RF circuit design
for ICs in CMOS technology Strong expertise with Cadence Spectre,
Mentor Graphics, or similar EDA tools Solid understanding of
analog/RF principles, including matching, noise, stability, and
non-linearity Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to
detail, strong communication abilities, and an aptitude for working
in a collaborative environment Bonus points for the following: MS
or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field, with a focus
on Analog/RFIC design Experience with high-frequency circuit design
(GHz range) and high-speed data converters Knowledge of
mixed-signal IC design, including ADC/DAC design and integration of
analog and digital components Experience with RF system design for
wireless communications (LTE, 5G, etc. This is a full time, exempt
position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for
this position is $140,000 - $200,000 annually. The total
compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as
your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. We are
redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so
we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and
direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design
and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be
immediately wow-ed. E-Space is not currently able to provide
employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work
authorization for the location of this role. Why E-Space is right
for you: As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in
driving our success. Our team members have a strong sense of
dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to
our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities
to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet.
This means that there will be times when extra hours, including
nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and
mission goals. In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with
opportunities for professional growth and development and the
chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry. We
want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That’s why we
support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial
well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you
can expect when working at E-Space: • An opportunity to really make
a difference • Sustainability at our core • Fair and honest
workplace • Innovative thinking is encouraged • Competitive
salaries • Continuous learning and development • Health and
wellness care options • Financial solutions for the future •
Optional legal services (US only) • Paid holidays • Paid time
