RF Design Engineer
HyperLight is a leader in commercializing thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) integrated photonics technology.
* With a strong foundation in venture capital backing, our team has developed a platform focused on mass deployment of TFLN photonic technology.
Our work revolves around the TFLN Chiplet platform, a modular architecture designed for scalability and manufacturability. This platform offers exceptional performance and industrial readiness, enabling system developers to deploy TFLN photonic technology efficiently.
We believe that our platform holds the key to empowering humanity through advanced communication systems.
As an RF Design Engineer at HyperLight, you will be responsible for designing and validating integrated RF passive components and interconnects for optical modulators operating at mmWave frequencies.
You will lead the co-design and integration of our modulators with active components such as driver amplifiers.
In this role, you will play a crucial part in developing cutting-edge solutions for advanced communication systems.
Responsibilities:
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and optimize RF components for photonic integrated circuits.
Perform detailed electromagnetic simulation and modeling using CST Microwave Studio, COMSOL, or Ansys HFSS.
Develop and implement VNA test and calibration techniques for characterizing RF components at mmWave frequencies on-wafer and in-package.
Conduct thorough validation of RF components using state-of-the-art equipment.
Provide technical guidance throughout the product development lifecycle.
Qualifications:
3+ years of relevant experience or equivalent experience through an advanced degree in electrical engineering or a related field.
Deep understanding of transmission line theory, S-parameters, differential signaling, time-domain reflectometry, and passive RF circuit design.
Proficiency in electromagnetic simulation tools and RF design tools.
Expertise in passive RF components and integrated on-die RF design.
Strong communication skills to convey complex technical concepts clearly.
Familiarity with software automation for measurement equipment.
Competitive market-based compensation package including comprehensive health coverage, 401(k) retirement plans, paid parental leave, and life and disability insurance.
