Power amplifier design and manufacturing for high-speed wireless networks
Elve designs and manufactures power amplifiers for wireless communication infrastructure. The stack—SolidWorks, AutoCAD, MATLAB, LTspice, Six Sigma, FMEA—reflects a hardware-first operation focused on analog RF design and manufacturing process control. Active projects center on automation (fixtures, tooling, robotics, workcells) and yield optimization, while pain points cluster around manufacturing throughput and lead time reduction, signaling a company scaling production capacity faster than process maturity.
Elve manufactures power amplifiers targeting high data rate communication networks in urban and remote settings. Founded in 2020 and based in Davis, CA, the company operates as a hardware manufacturer with embedded software and data engineering. The 11–50 person team splits predominantly toward manufacturing and hardware engineering roles, with emerging focus on data pipelines and process automation. Core challenges center on yield improvement, throughput bottlenecks, and manufacturability—typical constraints for early-stage RF hardware makers moving from prototype to volume production.
Design tools: SolidWorks, AutoCAD, MATLAB, LTspice. Manufacturing: Six Sigma, FMEA, SPC, CMMS. Data and automation: Python, R, IoT.
Elve is headquartered in Davis, CA and employs 11–50 people, with active hiring across manufacturing, engineering, and data roles.
