Design and test high frequency analog integrated circuits for communications, electronic warfare, and radar systems, while leading RFIC and MMIC projects.
General Description:
Designer of high frequency analog integrated circuits for communications, electronic warfare, and radar systems.
Essential Duties:
Contribute technical expertise and work within a focused team that designs, fabricates, integrates, and tests RFIC and MMIC circuits and subsystems at frequencies ranging from 0.1 to 200+ GHz.
Work closely with scientists and engineers to develop state-of-the-art RFIC and MMIC circuits, subsystems and systems for a variety of applications such as electronic warfare, communications, radar and imaging.
Help lead and coordinate RFIC and MMIC design projects.
Additional job functions include solving customer problems, writing invention disclosures, publishing papers, briefing customers, participating in proposal activities and assisting in marketing HRL expertise.
Required Skills:
Experience with high-frequency circuit, electro-magnetic and system simulators such as Cadence, ADS, AWR, VSS, Sonnet and HFSS for design of RF and analog integrated circuit based on III-V, CMOS and Bi-CMOS technologies, passives components, modules and subsystems.
Multiple tapeouts with different CMOS/BiCMOS and/or III-V MMIC processes is a must.
Experience with RF network analyzer measurements and testing of RFIC or MMIC and module components is required.
Working knowledge of high frequency circuit/system simulators and CAD layout for different RFIC and/or III-V MMIC processes.
A working familiarity with common passive and active microwave structures and network analysis techniques.
Knowledge of module and subsystem operation/integration required.
Familiarity with CMOS/BiCMOS and/or III-V MMIC foundry technologies and their layout practices is required.
Understanding of device physics desired.
Knowledge of large signal measurements and load pull is a plus.

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
