Full Job Description
Are you passionate about applying machine learning to transform the future of RF hardware? At Falcomm, we are revolutionizing wireless communications by integrating AI-driven solutions into the design of our energy-efficient Power Amplifier (PA) products. We are seeking a full-time AI/CAD Software Engineer to join our team. You will lead the development of intelligent tools that enhance RF workflows, automate complex EM simulations, and accelerate the tape-out of high-performance PAs. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, machine learning, and RF physics, perfect for a developer who wants to get close to the hardware.

Responsibilities:
  • End-to-End ML Pipeline Development: Architect and maintain robust code for training and serving ML models that predict and optimize RF performance metrics.
  • PA Design Automation: Automate the creation and management of large-scale datasets derived from PA load-pull and electromagnetic (EM) simulations.
  • Tool Integration: Seamlessly integrate ML inference engines into existing RF EDA infrastructure to provide real-time feedback to PA designers.
  • Software Engineering Excellence: Establish best practices including comprehensive testing, CI/CD pipelines, and code reviews within an agile hardware team.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with RF/PA architects to translate complex impedance matching and linearity requirements into deployable software solutions.

Requirements
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 2+ years of professional experience in software engineering or machine learning.
  • Proficiency in Python: Advanced scripting, object-oriented programming, and automation skills.
  • ML Framework Expertise: Experience building models using PyTorch, TensorFlow, or scikit-learn.
  • Data Engineering: Strong grasp of data processing libraries (pandas, numpy, scipy) and file I/O operations.
  • Software Fundamentals: Solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, and version control (Git).
Preferred Skills (The "RF/PA Plus")
  • RF & PA Domain Knowledge: Experience with Power Amplifier design,
  • RF front-end architectures, or a strong understanding of RF metrics (PAE,
  • Gain, ACLR, EVM).
  • RF/EM Simulation Tools: Hands-on experience with Cadence Virtuoso,
  • Ansys HFSS, or Keysight ADS.
  • Open Source Innovation: Experience utilizing or contributing to open-
  • source RF/EDA alternatives (e.g., gdsfactory, KLayout, Qucs, openEMS).
  • Simulation Scripting: Familiarity with automating RF simulations via
  • SKILL, AEL, or Python APIs.
  • Physics-Informed ML: Interest or experience in applying ML to physics-
  • based problems or electromagnetic modeling.


Benefits
  • Competitive Salary and Equity Package
  • Comprehensive Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan
  • Paid Time Off (PTO) and Sick Leave
