RFMD Hiring RF Engineers & Technicians - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Greetings:

RFMD is without a doubt the best company I have ever worked for, and the good news is that they have openings now for both engineers and technicians with RF backgrounds.

If you want to work in an environment where your talents will be challenged in team-oriented projects, while having the freedom to innovate at a personal level, then RFMD is the place for you. It is the only place I have ever worked where the labs have been stocked with ample test equipment for everyone to get his/her job done*. The company is mature in its market position and leads the world in GaAs fab facilities. Its three founders still roam the halls daily, and have seen to it that the company maintains the entrepreneurial spirit that launched it to success. My function there put me in a privileged position where I interacted with all levels of management and engineering, as I can personally attest to the impressive capabilities of everyone in the organization.

You owe it to yourself to check RFMD out.

* That's not to say other places do not have similar environments, it's just that I haven't worked for them.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
