TL;DR · Senior RFIC Design Engineer

As a Sr. RFIC Design Engineer for the Amazon Leo team, you will join a cross-disciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative product solutions for a low-latency, high-speed broadband satellite constellation. You will lead the architectural definition, design, simulation, and layout of transmit and receive front-ends, including data converters, LNAs, and PAs. Your daily work involves creating power and cost-optimized solutions, performing RLC extraction, and running extracted simulations across various corners. You will utilize tools like EMX and HFSS to design on-chip inductors, baluns, and power combiners. Key responsibilities include exploring mm-wave architectures for VCOs, mixers, and phase shifters while collaborating with digital design and packaging teams. You must possess expertise in FinFET, SOI, BiCMOS, or Bulk CMOS technologies and broadband wireless standards.

What you'll do

  • Lead the implementation of area and power-efficient RFIC chips with multiple transceiver chains from concept to production.
  • Perform architectural definition, design, simulation, and layout for transmit and receive front-ends including LNAs and PAs.
  • Design and simulate on-chip inductors, baluns, and power combiners using tools like EMX or HFSS.
  • Execute circuit layout, RLC extraction, and extracted simulations across various corners to ensure production robustness.
  • Explore architectures for mm-wave and RF circuits such as VCOs, mixers, and phase shifters.
  • Define analog/digital boundary requirements for circuit calibration, clock generation, and timing with the digital design team.
  • Specify bench and production test plans for all designed RFIC components.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in mm-Wave/RFIC design, preferably in an advanced node (preferred).
  • Knowledge of current and upcoming RF standards in cellular (4G/5G NR), WiMAX, 802.11ad, microwave backhaul, or similar broadband wireless standards.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted as a refugee or granted asylum.
  • Master's degree or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (preferred).
  • RF transceiver architecture/design for beamforming systems (preferred).
  • Experience leading integrated RF transceiver chipsets containing LNAs, PAs, ADCs, DACs, baseband filters, mixers, etc. (preferred).
  • Export control laws and regulations, candidates.
