Careers

There are many exciting aspects about working at KABEN, perhaps the most interesting, for members of our engineering staff, is an opportunity to be inspired and mentored by some of the most innovative and experienced minds in RFIC design. Key members of our team pioneered design technologies of delta sigma fractional-N synthesizers and Sampled IF filters. Engineers on our design team developed the industry-first Bluetooth chip in 2000. KABEN engineers are the inventors of the first on-chip tunable filters for SAW filter replacement and the highly integrated FM/AM single chip tuner. Finally, we are just arriving at the long sought after holy grail of the industry – a reconfigurable transceiver design technology! If you are looking for an opportunity to be a part of a world-class team while advancing your RFIC design skills - KABEN is just the place to be.

The work environment and lifestyle at KABEN is of a well run entrepreneurial high-tech company. An energetic office ambience where you are always viewed as an individual and have a chance to see the big picture. We pride ourselves on leading the RFIC design world in several areas of engineering excellence and we dream BIG! If you've got the talent, come talk to us. Come see if we share a common vision and join the journey to reap the benefits of our joint success!
