Requisition ID:76238 Description
In this impactful role, you will be leading design and development of RF SOI ICs for integrated front end module products for the highly competitive cellular handset and Wi-Fi market. These ICs will include SOI LNA, RF switches, RF couplers, RF filters, digital attenuators, biasing circuits, analog/digital controllers, and their integration in multi-chip module (MCM) substrates. The candidate will provide technical leadership in all phases of product development, including product definition, system architecture design and planning, transistor-level circuit design and simulation, layout floorplan and layout supervision, EM simulation, lab verification testing and characterization planning, and production support. The candidate will be involved in all aspects of product realization and work with an extended cross-site team to validate and deliver high-performance RF products to high volume markets. Responsibilities
* MS +10 years or PhD Degree +6 years of SOI IC design, RFIC/MMIC design, or RF module design experience * Proven leadership in RF product execution and design innovation * Strong experience in SOI IC design including RF switches, digital attenuators, RF filters, analog/mixed-signal and digital designs supporting RF circuit functions, as well as strong experience in multi-chip module (MCM) and its integration with SOI IC * Strong technical leadership skills with the ability to define and set deliverables, define design architecture and provide design trade-offs, leading technical discussions, manage schedule and priorities, drive design methodology improvement, and achieve desired results * Strong SOI device physics and transistor-level modeling and simulations * Strong RF fundamentals such as impedance matching, RF coupling, distributed systems, passive RLC and resonant circuits, noise, linearity * Strong circuit simulation skills utilizing ADS/GoldenGate/Cadence/SpectreRF and 2.5/3D EM tools such as EMX or HFSS for full IC plus module-level simulation * Experience on RFIC/analog circuit/Mixed signal/ESD protection circuit is highly desirable * Strong problem solving and lab debugging skills. Hands on experience in RF tuning and using RF instruments * Deep understanding of cellular and Wi-Fi RF systems * Must possess good communication skills with the ability to generate clear technical presentations and data summaries, good presentation skills, and the desire to be part of a dynamic team The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is currently USD$129,400 -$247,800 per year.
