The Sr Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) Design Engineer joins the RFIC Design team to define, design, and develop complex radio frequency integrated circuits within sophisticated SoCs and discrete RFICs. This role involves performing radio signal path and circuit topology analysis alongside detailed transistor-level design of highly-integrated transceivers for wireless applications including 6G, WLAN, and IoT using advanced process technologies. The engineer will determine circuit-level specifications, develop architectures, run simulations, floor-plan layouts, and write test plans to assess performance. Key technical requirements include proficiency in CADENCE, Virtuoso, and ADS tools. Candidates must possess expertise in RFIC design, transistor-level design of RF analog integrated circuits, and potentially digital predistortion or machine learning applications for RF designs. The role addresses the challenge of developing high-performance components for advanced wireless communication systems.
