Must Haves:

• MSEE with 5 years of RFIC design experience; PhD preferred.
• Familiar with 5G system basics, CMOS device physics, analog circuit theory, microwave engineering theory.
• Demonstrate a track record of successfully & independently designing RFIC products and releasing them to production.
• Familiar with RF front-end components and its general design trade-offs; hands on experience with Si/SOI process-based RF front-end component design is a plus.
• Familiar with design tools such as Cadence, ADS, HFSS, and data analysis tools such as MATLAB; able to conduct both design, simulation verifications, and data analysis with these tools.
• Able to operate RF measurement equipment such as vector network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope, power meter, etc. including performing necessary bench calibration, measurement taking, and result deembedding; familiar with RF test bench setups and the abilities & limitations behind them.
• Strong in innovation (evidence like published papers or holding patents) is much desired.

Day-to-Day:

• Perform detailed, transistor-level RFIC design and product development based on silicon processes (RF CMOS, SOI, BiCMOS, etc.), focusing on front-end chip components such as RF switches, integrated couplers, digital attenuators, low noise amplifiers (LNA), etc.
• Generate proper deliverables (design documents, models, interfacing documents, etc.) according to established design flow, and present results to internal and external customers. Propose improvements to the flow if necessary.
• Work with cross-functional engineering team and marketing managers across the company to define, interpret, and fine-tune product requirements & specifications, provide feedback when needed, and support products from conception to full production release, to ensure customer design wins.
• Manage product development progress in a planned & timely manner, communicate expectations with other team members frequently, and execute plan effectively.
• Use RF measurement equipment directly and/or work with lab testing engineers & technicians to obtain necessary numerical understanding of products’ performances; analyze test data and communicate your findings through clear & concise documentation and/or verbal presentations to peers and stakeholders.
