Principal RFIC Engineer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company building advanced autonomy, sensor, and networking systems powered by AI. We are seeking a Principal RFIC Design Engineer to lead RF/analog/mixed-signal IC design efforts — driving circuit architecture, simulation, silicon validation, and production readiness while helping build a world-class silicon team.

Skills

  • RF/analog/mixed-signal IC design and verification
  • Cadence Virtuoso / Spectre RF and/or Keysight ADS proficiency
  • Electromagnetic simulation experience (HFSS/EMX)
  • Hands-on RF lab skills: spectrum/network analyzers, signal generators, VNAs
  • Knowledge of semiconductor technologies (SOI, SiGe, GaN, CMOS)
  • Silicon characterization and tape-out experience
  • Scripting for automation and analysis (Python or MATLAB)
  • System-level collaboration and vendor management

Responsibilities

  • Architect, design, and simulate complex RF/analog/mixed-signal circuits (LNAs, PAs, mixers, VCOs, PLLs, filters, switches, beamforming blocks).
  • Perform noise, linearity, mismatch, and stability analysis and trade-off studies for power, performance, and area.
  • Oversee layout, DRC/LVS, and verification workflows to ensure successful tape-outs.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with systems, firmware, layout, test, and product teams to define and meet system-level specs.
  • Characterize, debug, and validate silicon in the lab; lead bring-up and test plans with manufacturing partners.
  • Optimize designs for cost and manufacturability and work with vendors on packaging and test solutions.
  • Generate comprehensive design documentation, test reports, and spec sheets.
  • Mentor and grow RFIC engineering talent and help build team processes and capabilities.

Education

  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
  • Advanced coursework or demonstrated experience in RF/analog IC design

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans (US roles)
  • Company-covered life and disability insurance
  • Highly competitive PTO with December holiday hiatus; caregiver & wellness leave
  • Family planning and parenting support including fertility and adoption coverage
  • 24/7 mental health resources and additional wellness services
