Principal Microwave Engineer

Own the full RFIC design cycle - from mm-wave architecture to tapeout - for the high-frequency electronic subsystems driving our FM comb laser platform. Work directly with the PIC team on opto-RF co-design and lead the packaging strategy for our photonic modules. This is a senior individual-contributor role with full technical ownership at the hardware heart of Aylight.

Qualifications

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related discipline; MSc with strong industrial track record considered
• Minimum 5 years of IC design experience at 30 GHz and above, with demonstrated tapeouts at 100 GHz or above
• Hands-on expertise in InP HBT, GaAs HBT/pHEMT, or SiGe BiCMOS process
• Strong mm-wave circuit design: oscillators, tuned amplifiers, transmission-line matching, passive and active topologies
• EM simulation (HFSS, Momentum, Sonnet) and RF/mm-wave circuit simulation (ADS, Virtuoso)
• mm-wave on-wafer charac...
