RFIC Design Engineer, Defense Tech

QUANTUM COMPUTING, INC.; Hoboken (NJ); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Quantum Computing Inc. is seeking a mid-level RF/RFIC Design Engineer to contribute to RF front-end ICs, transceivers, and RF subsystems for defense applications.

The role involves design, simulation, and characterization across CMOS, SiGe, BiCMOS, and GaAs processes, with cross-functional collaboration to tape-out and production. You will work with systems, test, and product teams to meet performance targets, participate in layout and EM simulations, and support regulatory compliance while

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related field; Master’s preferred.
• 5 - 10 years of hands-on RF/RFIC design experience with block- or system-level deliverables.
• Experience designing RF blocks across CMOS, SiGe, InP, GaAs processes.

Responsibilities

• Design, simulate, and verify RFIC blocks to meet gain, noise figure, linearity, and power targets.
• Define and own RF system and link budgets, evaluating trade-offs across performance, power consumption, size, and cost.
• Collaborate with engineers on RF-aware floorplanning, layout, EM simulations, and parasitic extraction.
• Drive silicon bring-up and lab characterization using RF test equipment (VNA, spectrum analyzer, noise figure meter, load-pull).
• Debug RF issues discovered during bring-up, qualification, or production with test/manufacturing teams.
• Support regulatory and standards compliance (FCC, 3GPP, MIL-STD).
• Document design methodology and test results; contribute to IP libraries.
• Mentor junior engineers and participate in RF/analog reviews.
• Contribute to patent filings and technical publications.
