JOB TITLE: RFIC System Engineer
The RFIC System Engineer joins the wireless silicon development team to architect, design, and deliver state-of-the-art CMOS radios from RF-to-bits. This role involves researching and bringing next-generation wireless technologies into high-volume production using advanced CMOS technology nodes. Key responsibilities include translating chip-level specifications into detailed block-level requirements, developing models to analyze the impact of analog impairments on transceiver performance, and overseeing test and characterization through productization. The engineer must collaborate with technology teams to understand node limits while ensuring block performance meets system requirements via bottom-up modeling. Required skills include RF/analog and mixed-signal design experience, proficiency in MATLAB, Python, and SystemVue, and a deep understanding of CMOS device physics, RF transceiver architectures, and standards like Bluetooth, WiFi, and Ultra-Wideband.
Translate chip and transceiver-level specifications into detailed block-level specifications.
Develop models to analyze the impact of analog impairments on transceiver performance.
Perform bottom-up modeling to ensure block performance meets system requirements.
Oversee the test and characterization of designs from early development through productization.
Debug technical issues arising during the design and production stages.
Analyze technology node capabilities and limits to achieve optimum performance.
Research and design next-generation wireless technologies for high-volume production.
What we're looking for
BS degree and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
Experience in RF/analog and mixed-signal design within RF CMOS design.
Experience with MATLAB, Python, SystemVue, or other system-level modeling tools.
Experience modeling RF/Analog circuits using MATLAB/Verilog-A/Python and writing block-level specifications (preferred).
Direct tape-out experience with RF front-end circuits, PAs, LNAs, mixers, oscillators, PLLs, VGAs, filters, or ADC/DACs in deep sub-micron CMOS (preferred).
Deep understanding of RF transceiver architectures, analog design concepts, and CMOS device physics (preferred).
Familiarity with Bluetooth, WiFi, and Ultra-Wideband standards (preferred).
Experience in Si characterization and debug (preferred).
