Sr. RFIC Layout Designer (RFIC Engineering) joins the IC design team to lead the layout discipline for multiple silicon projects involving advanced technology, mixed-signal architectures, and lower power designs for space and ground infrastructure. The role involves collaborating with designers to determine floor plans, managing power and ground distribution, and performing full chip layout of custom analog and RFIC designs. Key responsibilities include executing design rule checks, resolving errors, performing top-level integration with ESD structures, and conducting final tape outs. Candidates will utilize advanced node IC layouts down to 5nm for circuits reaching frequencies up to 50GHz. Required skills include experience with sensitive RF blocks like LNAs and VCOs, as well as proficiency in Linux, shell scripting, Perl, Python, and skill programming. The role addresses technical challenges in device matching, coupling, and noise isolation.
