Company

hirify.global is a full-service semiconductor foundry providing design, development, and fabrication services with manufacturing operations across three continents.

What you will do

• Define RF and millimeter-wave system architectures, converting product use cases and customer needs into measurable requirements, performance budgets, and block-level specifications.
• Own TX/RX cascade analyses, link budgets, frequency plans, and tradeoffs across performance, power, cost, and area.
• Guide designs involving LNAs, PAs, mixers, VCOs, synthesizers, beamformers, transceivers, phased arrays, antenna-in-package solutions, and RF front ends from K-band through W-band.
• Define frequency-generation, LO-distribution, waveform, calibration, monitoring, verification, and validation strategies.
• Drive silicon or module bring-up, debugging, model-to-measurement correlation, and production readiness.
• Lead design reviews and roadmap planning, collaborate across hardware, firmware, algorithms, applications, manufacturing, customers, foundries, and vendors, and mentor engineers.

Requirements

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field is required; M.S. is strongly preferred.
• 15+ years of RF/microwave or mmWave system or IC design experience, including 7+ years in a lead or architect role.
• At least one RF or mmWave product—IC, module, or radio—delivered from concept through production.
• Strong grounding in RF system design, including cascade analysis, link budgets, noise, linearity, and phase noise.
• Working knowledge of LNAs, PAs, mixers, VCO/PLL systems, filters, and the relationship between block specifications and system performance.
• Understanding of MIMO, phased arrays, and beamforming.
• Hands-on laboratory experience with spectrum and signal analyzers, network analyzers using S-parameters, and phase-noise measurement.
• Proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python for modeling and data analysis.
• Ability to communicate clearly and lead cross-functional teams without direct authority.

Nice to have

• M.S. or Ph.D. in an RF/microwave discipline.
• Experience with FMCW or pulse-Doppler radar, 5G/6G FR2, Wi-Fi, SATCOM, or mmWave backhaul.
• Experience with RF CMOS, SiGe, GaAs, or GaN processes.
• Experience with antenna-in-package, RF system-in-package, or 3D-stacked front-end modules.
• Knowledge of on-chip calibration, BIST, and production test strategy.
• Familiarity with 3GPP, IEEE 802.11, FCC/ETSI, or ISO 26262 standards and regulations.

Culture & Benefits

• Full-time employment at a semiconductor foundry with a global manufacturing footprint.
• Equal-opportunity workplace committed to cultural diversity.
• Reasonable accommodation is available during the employment process upon request.
• Employment is subject to applicable pre-employment conditions, laws, and regulations.
