Company Description Deveillance builds hardware and AI solutions that give individuals and organizations control over when and how technology can access them. In a world where phones, wearables, AI assistants, and other always-on devices constantly capture behavior and conversations, Deveillance offers an alternative to simply trusting devices. The company focuses on protecting privacy and autonomy by limiting unauthorized access and surveillance. Team members work on products that help ensure that conversations and personal interactions remain private. Joining Deveillance means contributing to privacy-first technologies that prioritize people over pervasive data collection.
Role Description This is a full-time, on-site Radio Frequency Engineer role based in San Francisco, CA. The Radio Frequency Engineer will design, develop, and validate RF circuits and subsystems for privacy-focused hardware products. Day-to-day responsibilities include performing RF and circuit design, conducting simulations, creating schematics, and supporting PCB layout for RF components. The role also involves using test equipment such as network analyzers and spectrum analyzers to characterize, troubleshoot, and optimize RF performance, as well as collaborating closely with hardware, firmware, and AI teams to integrate RF solutions into complete systems. The engineer will document designs, support prototyping and production testing, and contribute to continuous improvement of RF architectures aligned with Deveillance’s privacy mission.
Qualifications
- Strong RF design skills, including RF Design and RF Circuits, with experience in designing and integrating RF front-ends and subsystems.
- Proficiency in Circuit Design for analog and mixed-signal circuits supporting RF architectures.
- Hands-on experience with RF test and measurement tools, such as Network Analyzer and Spectrum Analyzer, for characterization and debugging.
- Experience with RF simulation and design tools (e.g., ADS, HFSS, CST, or similar), and familiarity with PCB layout considerations for RF designs.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Ability to work on-site in San Francisco, CA, collaborate in cross-functional teams, and communicate clearly in written and verbal form.
- Background in low-power wireless systems, antennas, or EMI/EMC design, and experience taking hardware from prototype to production is beneficial.
