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 associate production engineers 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

A mechanical engineer analyst at Elve would be responsible for the analysis and design of components for millimeter-wave power amplifiers, as well as fixtures, and manufacturing tools.

In addition, the engineer would also be responsible for testing and qualification of the components under specified loads. Opportunities for gaining experience in other areas are also present: design, inspection, assembly, bonding, testing, and working on process development. You will assist in the full lifecycle of product development (design, develop, test prototypes, manufacture and implement, and engineering support). Given the size of our team, there are plenty of opportunities to grow, be challenged, and learn new skills. This is a full-time salaried position. The goal of this position is to allow us to rapidly iterate and validate our products while improving our designs.

What it’s like to work at Elve

We are a small team (for now!) on a mission to bring the next generation of high-speed wireless connectivity to a billion people worldwide. That kind of impact is not going to be achieved with incremental improvements- we are gunning for orders of magnitude advances in production capability, cost, size, and power in the mm-wave RF amplifier market. We ask “dumb” questions all the time because we always have something to learn. We work really hard, make sure to get good sleep, handle conflict intentionally, and expect great things from each other.
