Lead RF IC design

I'm partnering with a well funded deep tech startup in Singapore that is building the chips that will control the next generation of quantum computers.

Customer contracts start in early 2027, and they need a hands on RF designer to own the RF side of their first products from spec to silicon.

What you'll be doing:

• Designing RF blocks such as switches, mixers, LO/PLL, LNAs and drivers in the 4 to 15 GHz range
• Owning blocks end to end, from specification and RF budgets through layout, EM simulation and tapeout
• Bringing up and testing your own silicon in the lab
• Working directly with customers to turn their needs into chip specs
• Helping shape and grow the RF team as the company scales

What they're looking for:

• 5+ years of hands on RF IC design with tapeouts you owned
• Experience on advanced nodes, ideally 22nm FD-SOI (28nm also welcome)
• RF switch, mixer or LO design experience is a big plus
• An MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering
• Someone who has led people or projects but still loves being on the tools

No quantum background needed. They'll teach you the quantum side, and they want great RF designers.

Why it's worth a look:

1. A ground floor role with real ownership and equity
2. Tier one compensation and full relocation support
3. A Series A is planned within 18 months
4. You'll be solving one of the biggest scaling problems in quantum computing
