SENIOR RF IC Design Engineer

Description: 

Job Description

� Design, lay out, and verify CMOS analog/mixed-signal and RF circuits for wireless applications, including mixers, LNAs, amplifiers, PLLs, ADC/DACs, filters, and dedicated analog processing circuits.

� Verify circuits and perform simulations using SpectreRF and AMS Designer within the Cadence IC design suite.

� Perform layout and layout verification, including parasitic extraction using Virtuoso and Assura based tools.

� Evaluate, measure, and debug silicon in the laboratory.

� Communicate simulation results and measurement data to management and design team.

Job Requirements

� Minimum of MS EE plus 10 years of experience in RF IC design; or, PhD plus 7 years of experience in RF IC design.

� Excellent understanding of RF CMOS design challenges and system-on-a-chip isolation techniques.

� Strong experience in wireless transceivers building blocks design, such as CMOS LNAs, mixer, filters, VCOs, RF PLLs, and power amplifiers.

� Strong experience in analog/mixed signals design (converters, baseband filters).

� Solid knowledge of analog signal processing and systems theory.

� Strong understanding of layout challenges for RF circuits.

� Strong hands-on experience in silicon evaluation, characterization, and bring up.

� Knowledge of deep-submicron CMOS technology (device physics, manufacturing process, DFM, ESD).

� Strong leadership skills.

� Effective product-development schedule-management skills.

� Experience in PA design is preferred (even in other technologies).

� Good communication and technical reporting skills, both written and oral.
