Required Skills

  • 3+ years of experience designing circuitry in RF bands across frontend and conversion chains

  • End-to-end PCB design experience, including schematic capture, layout, fabrication and assembly

  • Experience with electronic design and analysis tools such as Keysight ADS, Ansys HFSS, and Altium Designer

  • Excellent understanding of RF metrics such as S-parameters, P1dB, noise figure, channel power, and EVM

  • Excellent understanding of RF cascades, link budgets, and noise analysis

  • Experience with test instruments (oscilloscopes, power supplies, VNAs, spectrum analyzers)

  • Experience with low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, mixers, ADCs/DACs, phased locked loops, oscillators, and filters

Desired Skills

  • Experience building complex PCBs in Altium Designer

  • Experience selecting components for radiation-susceptible environments

  • Experience working with AD9361, Xilinx RFSoC, and similar digital-analog conversion interfaces

  • Solid experience soldering and reworking boards (0402 SMP components, QFN packages)

  • Experience performing communications link modeling and solid understanding of DSP fundamentals

  • Knowledge of antenna design, simulation, and measurement in near-field/far-field regimes

  • Experience working with high-PAPR signals and knowledge of DPD concepts

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
