This role offers a unique opportunity to participate in every stage of product development—from specification and circuit design to testing and production support.
Job Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with Analog/RFIC design specialists to develop RFICs for cellular applications, including components like LNAs, RF switches, attenuators, and other RF/analog elements.
- Partner with system engineers and module design teams to define detailed specifications, monitor design progress, and address performance or circuit issues as they arise.
Required Skills and Experience:
- Proven expertise in transistor-level CMOS or SOI RFIC design, with a strong foundation in basic device physics.
- Advanced skill in developing and utilizing linear/nonlinear models and simulation techniques, translating theoretical models into real-world applications with validated device performance.
- Proficiency in RF and microwave engineering, including impedance matching, passive circuit design, noise and linearity optimization, circuit stability, and electromagnetic theory.
- Strong simulation capabilities using tools like Agilent ADS, Momentum/EMX, HFSS/CST, and Cadence.
- Experience with microstrip, stripline, laminate, multi-chip module (MCM), and passive circuit design (e.g., couplers, baluns).
- Practical lab experience for data analysis, troubleshooting, tuning, and product debugging.
- Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks and collaborate effectively within a team.
- A self-driven team player with a passion for learning and bringing products from concept to high-volume production.
Preferred Qualifications:
- MSEE with 8–10 years of experience or BSEE with 12 years of experience.
Compensation and Benefits:
Starting base pay will be based on factors like relevant experience, skills, education, business needs, market demands, and work location.
