Senior RFIC Design Engineer

What you'll do

• Define architectural requirements and design transmit/receive front-ends from data converters to LNAs and PAs.
• Lead the development of area and power-efficient RFIC chips with integrated PLLs from concept to production.
• Explore mm-wave and RF circuit architectures including VCOs, mixers, phase shifters, and frequency multipliers.
• Design and simulate on-chip inductors, baluns, and power combiners using tools like EMX or HFSS.
• Perform circuit layout, RLC extraction, and run extracted simulations across various corners to ensure production robustness.
• Define analog/digital boundary requirements for circuit calibration, clock generation, and timing with the digital team.
• Develop specific bench and production test plans for all designed RFIC components.

What we're looking for

• Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 7+ 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.
• Master's degree or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (preferred).
• Experience with RF transceiver architecture for beamforming systems and integrated RF transceiver chipsets (preferred).
• Experience with mm-Wave circuit design/layout in FinFET, SOI, BiCMOS, and Bulk CMOS technologies (preferred).
• Proficiency in analog circuit design, mixed-signal verification, and hands-on experience with RF test equipment (preferred).
