Principal Engineer, AI Satellites (Starmind) is an RF/Analog IC engineering role focused on developing next-generation RFICs for space and ground infrastructure. Working within cross-disciplinary teams including systems, firmware, and architecture, the engineer will design, simulate, and model RF/analog/mixed-signal circuits and systems while deriving specifications for RFIC subsystems. Day-to-day responsibilities include developing circuits in SiGe or CMOS processes, performing IC floor planning, modeling parasitic components, and characterizing prototype performance. The role requires expertise in linear and non-linear circuits like phase-locked loops, oscillators, and power amplifiers. Key technical skills include proficiency with simulation tools such as Spectre, ADS, HFSS, or Momentum, along with knowledge of Ku, K, and Ka-band frequencies. The work supports the Starmind constellation, which utilizes space-based solar energy to power high-performance AI compute for Earth applications.
