RFIC Design Engineer

Onsite Role:

Duties

Designer will be responsible for the design of high performance RF and analog circuit blocks. Responsibilities include transistor level block level and module level circuit architecture design simulation optimization layout supervision layout verification preparation of test plan for the testing team reliability and yield assessment and modeling simulation to bench and bench to test correlation bench evaluation both at silicon level and at applications level and documentation.

Job responsibilities require ability to communicate at all levels and with cross functional groups. Candidate must have good verbal and written communications skills and demonstrated track record of circuit innovation must be a team player be adaptable and accept criticism.

Nice-to-have: Experience with floor planning block level routing and top level chip routing.

Really nice-to-have: Knowledge of high performance analog layout considerations such as matching EM-IR and SOA and mitigation techniques.

Really nice-to-have: Experience working with distributed design teams a plus.

Must possess strong written and verbal communication skills.

Education

If the candidate has a Bachelors degree (BSEE): They should have at least 10 years of relevant work experience.

If the candidate has a Masters degree (MSEE): They should have at least 8 years of relevant work experience.

If the candidate has a PhD: They should have at least 4 years of relevant work experience.
