Job summary

Quantum Computing Inc. seeks a mid-level RF/RFIC Design Engineer in Hoboken, NJ to contribute to RF front-end ICs, transceivers, and RF subsystems for defense applications. You will work with systems, test, and product teams to move designs from spec through tape-out and production.

You will design, simulate, and verify RFIC blocks, define budgets, and collaborate on EM simulations, lab bring-up, and regulatory compliance. A strong background in RF at 100 MHz–6 GHz, and U.S.

Qualifications

• 5-10 years RF/RFIC design experience with block- or system-level deliverables.
• Experience designing RF blocks across CMOS, SiGe, InP, GaAs processes.
• Proficient with industry-standard EDA tools.
• Knowledge of RF system concepts like budgets and noise figures.
• Hands-on lab experience with VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generators.
• U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident able to obtain government clearance.

Responsibilities

• Design, simulate, verify RFIC blocks to meet gain, NF, linearity, and P targets.
• Define RF system and link budgets, evaluate trade-offs on performance and cost.
• Collaborate on RF-aware floorplanning, layout, EM simulations, parasitic extraction.
• Drive silicon bring-up and lab characterization with RF test equipment.
• Debug RF issues during bring-up, qualification, or production with teams.
• Support regulatory and standards compliance (FCC, 3GPP, MIL-STD).
• Document design methods and test results; contribute to IP libraries.
• Mentor junior engineers and participate in design reviews.
