Are you passionate about advancing RF technology and semiconductor innovation? At Falcomm, we are transforming semiconductor technologies into real-world solutions by developing high-performance, energy-efficient RF power amplifier products. Our mission is to push the boundaries of wireless communication performance while enabling more sustainable and efficient technologies.

Falcomm is seeking a Head of PA Development to lead the design, development, and production of next-generation RF power amplifier solutions. This role will oversee the full lifecycle of PA product development, from architecture and circuit design through silicon validation and production ramp, while working closely with cross-functional teams across RFIC design, packaging, testing, and manufacturing.

The ideal candidate combines strong RF design expertise with leadership experience and a passion for delivering innovative semiconductor solutions in a fast-paced startup environment.

Responsibilities:
  • Lead the architecture, design, and development of RF power amplifier circuits for advanced wireless communication systems.
  • Manage and mentor a team of RFIC designers working on PA development across multiple semiconductor technologies.
  • Define performance targets including output power, efficiency, linearity, gain, and bandwidth based on system requirements.
  • Oversee the full product lifecycle including architecture development, circuit design, simulation, layout review, tape-out, silicon validation, and production ramp.
  • Collaborate with RFIC designers, packaging engineers, and test teams to optimize overall RF front-end performance.
  • Guide design trade-off decisions across efficiency, thermal performance, linearity, and integration constraints.
  • Support silicon bring-up, characterization, and debugging activities following fabrication.
  • Work with supply chain and manufacturing teams to ensure smooth transition from prototype to volume production.
  • Drive continuous improvement in PA performance, design methodologies, and development workflows.

Requirements

  • Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in RF power amplifier design.
  • Experience designing RFICs or RF power amplifiers for wireless communication systems.
  • Strong understanding of RF circuit theory, transistor behavior, and PA architectures.
