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 transceiver-level specifications into detailed block-level specifications, developing models for analog impairments, and overseeing test and characterization to debug issues from early development through productization. The candidate will utilize MATLAB, Python, and SystemVue for system-level modeling. Required expertise includes RF/analog and mixed-signal design, CMOS device physics, and experience with blocks like PAs, LNAs, mixers, and PLLs. The work focuses on optimizing performance for Bluetooth, WiFi, and Ultra-Wideband standards while managing trade-offs in RF transceiver architectures and noise, linearity, and stability.
Translate chip or 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
Bachelor's degree is required.
Experience in RF/analog and mixed-signal design in RF CMOS design is required.
Experience with MATLAB, Python, SystemVue, or other system-level modeling is required.
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, PA, LNA, mixer, oscillator, PLL, LO, VGA, filter, ADC/DAC, TIA, or other baseband analog blocks (preferred).
Deep understanding of RF transceiver architectures, analog design concepts, CMOS device physics, and RF device modeling (preferred).
Familiarity with Bluetooth, WiFi, and Ultra-Wideband standards (preferred).
Experience in Si characterization and debug (preferred).
