Most RF architectures are getting more complex, more crowded, and harder to scale. My client is doing the exact opposite. We are partnering with a high-growth, fabless semiconductor innovator in Cambridge that is radically simplifying RF front-end architectures. They aren't just making incremental shifts; they are turning global connectivity into a commodity. As they move from core tech development into full-scale productization, the CTO team needs a RF Systems Architect to be the "technical glue" that brings the vision to life. The Mission This isn't a role for a specialist who wants to stay in a silo.
