Job Description: Who is Elve? Elve, Inc is a deep-tech startup in Davis, CA whose patent-pending technology enables 100x faster wireless internet access in urban settings and remote locations. Elve delivers a transformative approach to the design and manufacturing of high-efficiency lightweight millimeter-wave and near-THz RF power amplifiers in large quantities. Our solutions enable the next generation of wireless connectivity well beyond 5G as well as high-resolution imaging and radar. We are looking for electrical engineers specializing in power electronics to play key roles in bringing our technology to market. If you are passionate about the future of RF electronics, additive manufacturing, precision assembly, microfabrication, vacuum systems, advanced materials processing, and working on a small and energetic team - we can't wait to meet you!

Job Description: An electrical engineer specializing in power electronics at Elve will be responsible for the design, analysis, and testing of power electronic circuits and systems, including unique high voltage circuits. The electrical engineer will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure successful integration of power electronic systems into the overall product. They will also be responsible for creating and documenting design specifications and test procedures. This is a full-time salaried position, based primarily in either our San Francisco office or our Davis factory.
