What It’s Like To Work At Elve
We are a small team (for now!) on a mission to bring the next generation of high-speed wireless connectivity to people worldwide. That kind of impact is not going to 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 ask “dumb” questions all the time because we always have something to learn. We work really hard, make sure to get good sleep, handle conflict intentionally, and expect great things from each other.
