Role Posting Log in to save

The FBAR Filter Designer leads the development of high-performance RF Front-End solutions, managing the full design lifecycle from acoustic resonator synthesis to full module integration for 5G and Wi-Fi standards. This role involves designing high-Q FBAR filters and multiplexers using optimized topologies, performing physical die layout and floor planning to manage parasitics and thermal dissipation, and conducting 3D EM simulations to model package-level interconnects. The designer ensures signal integrity across acoustic dies, laminates, and PCBs while performing Monte Carlo and corner analyses for high-volume manufacturing. Required expertise includes FBAR, BAW, or SAW physics and RF microwave circuit theory. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in ADS and 3D EM tools like HFSS, CST, or Sonnet to address complex technical trade-offs regarding carrier aggregation and coexistence specifications within the RFFE architecture.
