About the role

Elve, Inc. is a deep-tech startup in Davis, CA, whose patented technology enables 100x faster wireless internet access in urban settings and remote locations.
Our solutions enable the next generation of wireless connectivity well beyond 5G, as well as high-resolution imaging and radar.
A successful candidate will engage in cutting-edge research to enhance these advanced electron emitters' performance, manufacturability, and lifetime.

Elve delivers a transformative approach to designing and manufacturing high-efficiency lightweight millimeter-wave and near-THz RF power amplifiers in large quantities.
The researcher will conduct experimental research on the synthesis, characterization, and optimization of materials used to fabricate NST emitters including the design and execution of experiments focused on the electrical and thermal of those emitters.
The candidate will also collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of physicists, materials scientists, and engineers to integrate those findings into device prototypes and processes.

Proficiency in data analysis software (e.g., MATLAB, Python, or similar).
Experience working with small parts / small things Within a commutable distance of Davis, CA US Citizenship Required Desired Skills Experience publishing research in peer-reviewed journals.
Proficiency in investigating and incorporating results from published materials.
Experience with ultra-high vacuum systems.
Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a team environment.
Familiarity with the fabrication and testing of cathodes for vacuum devices.
Familiarity with theoretical models for cathode emission in vacuum environments.

That kind of impact will not 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 are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to play a role in advancing our technology.
Job Description We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team focusing on developing high current density nanocomposite scandate tungsten (NST) electron emitters employed to energize millimeter wave power amplifiers manufactured by Elve.
We are looking for a colleague who will analyze data using statistical and modeling techniques and present findings in academic journals and conferences as well as internally to Elve.
