TL;DR · Senior BAW Device Engineer

The Sr. BAW Device Engineer (Starlink/Akoustis) joins the Akoustis team to develop and improve bulk acoustic wave resonators for RF filter applications. This role involves performing FEM simulations, conducting experimental DOE, and developing thin film BAW resonator processes to achieve better performance, accuracy, high yield, and reduced cycle times. The engineer will also be responsible for creating resonator equivalent circuit models, planning multi-parameter experimental setups, and performing scientific and statistical analysis of RF test results. Key technical skills include proficiency in COMSOL and HFSS tools, as well as expertise in MEMS technology, electromagnetics, and semiconductor devices. The work focuses on the development of XBAW technology to improve resonator figure of merit and support filter design through optimized process integration for use in satellite communication systems.

What you'll do

  • Develop and improve FEA setups using COMSOL and HFSS for BAW resonator simulations and optimization.
  • Improve the performance of bulk acoustic wave resonators for RF filter applications.
  • Optimize thin film BAW resonator processes to improve performance, accuracy, yield, and cycle time.
  • Provide dimensional data and process integration support for BAW filter designs.
  • Generate resonator equivalent circuit models for use in filter design.
  • Plan experimental setups involving multiple parameters to conduct Design of Experiments (DOE).
  • Perform scientific and statistical analysis on RF test results of BAW resonators.
  • Solve problems related to filter design, reliability, and yield improvement.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience with semiconductor devices, RF, antenna, or communication systems.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee to meet ITAR requirements.
  • Advanced degree in an engineering or STEM discipline (preferred).
  • 10+ years of experience in BAW/MEMS technology (preferred).
  • 10+ years of semiconductor device experience (preferred).
  • Strong background in RF BAW resonator physics, technology development, circuits, and electromagnetics (preferred).
  • Experience with statistical analysis of characterization data, DoE evaluation, and equivalent device circuit models (preferred).
