TL;DR · Senior Electrical Engineer, Radio Device RF Architecture Engineer

The Sr. Electrical Engineer - Radio Device RF Architecture Engineer joins the Advanced Development Engineering team to design and develop radio transceiver mixed-signal sub-systems for high-reliability public safety communications equipment. This role involves conceiving, designing, and implementing radio systems using commercial off-the-shelf ICs, RF components, and custom CMOS technologies. Key responsibilities include translating product requirements into microarchitectural specifications for PLLs, fractional multi-loop synthesizers, baseband, and RF amplifiers. The engineer will develop behavioral system models, optimize power and thermal management, and integrate RF IP blocks into SoCs. Required technical skills include RF and mixed-signal IC and PCB design, Cadence CAD tools, Verilog-A, Verilog-AMS, System Verilog, and UVM. Candidates must understand digital signal processing for faded radio channels and multi-loop feedback control systems.

What you'll do

  • Translate product-level radio requirements into microarchitectural specifications for mixed-signal circuits and RF systems.
  • Develop behavioral system models to determine and manage block-level specifications for radio modem lineups.
  • Design and implement radio systems using off-the-shelf semiconductor devices and custom mixed-signal circuits.
  • Integrate RF IP blocks into a System on Chip (SoC) by collaborating with internal and external providers.
  • Develop power-modeling and thermal management strategies for RF, digital, and analog mixed-signal systems.
  • Perform design and verification of analog/mixed-signal circuit blocks using Cadence or equivalent CAD tools.
  • Assess third-party IP and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) ICs for modem development.
  • Drive technical alignment across multidisciplinary teams from circuit specification to custom silicon tape-out and deployment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering.
  • 10+ years of radio transceiver design experience.
  • Proven experience in digital radio transceiver development from concept to shipping product.
  • Background in RF and mixed-signal IC and RF PCB design.
  • Solid experience in analog/mixed-signal circuit block and feedback control system modeling using Cadence or equivalent CAD tools.
  • Experience in assessing 3rd party IP and COTS ICs for modem development.
  • Experience with Verilog-A/Verilog-AMS/System Verilog/Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) for mixed signal (AMS) designs.
  • Knowledge of digital signal processing as applied to modulation and demodulation of signals in a faded radio channel environment (preferred).
