Sr. RFIC Design Engineer (RFIC Engineering)
On-sitePalo Alto, California, United States
Job Summary
Design, simulate, and model RF/analog/mixed-signal circuits and systems while deriving specifications for RFIC subsystems. Develop Analog/Mixed-Signal/RF/microwave circuits in SiGe or CMOS processes and perform IC floor planning and layout. Collaborate with system architects, modem/DSP, and ASIC engineers to partition functions between hardware and software domains. Evaluate and characterize prototypes, analyze full radio performance, and assist in developing automated test lab equipment. Work with manufacturing engineers on production testing and qualification of RFIC components and systems. Requires 5+ years of RFIC experience, ability to work long hours and weekends, and U.S. citizenship or eligibility for required authorizations.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science
- 5+ years of RF integrated circuit experience
- Ability to work long hours and weekends as necessary to support critical milestones
- U.S. citizen or national
- U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder)
- Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157
- Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158
- Eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State
Desired Qualifications
- Master's degree or PhD in electrical engineering or computer engineering with an emphasis in RF/Analog/Mixed-signal integrated circuit design
- Experience using simulation tools such as Spectre, ADS, HFSS or Momentum
- Circuit design skills, and experience performing analysis and simulation of both linear and non-linear circuits such as phase-locked loops, vector modulators/demodulators, oscillators, mixers, filters, low noise and power amplifiers
- Knowledge of digital communication systems, spread spectrum, single and multi-carrier techniques and modulation types such as QPSK, APSK and QAM
- Knowledge of RF transceiver architectures
- RF/microwave design in the Ku-band, K-band and Ka-band frequency range
- Familiarity with radio related test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector signal generator, network analyzers
- Experience characterizing radio performance in microwave frequencies
