Sr. RFIC Design Engineer — mmWave & Sub THz Integrated Circuits

Overview

Design next‑generation RF integrated circuits that enable ultra‑high‑speed interconnects for modern data centers. Work on cutting‑edge mmWave and sub‑THz ICs and contribute directly to Point2’s core product architecture. Join a highly technical, fast‑paced team pushing the limits of high‑frequency performance.

Responsibilities

·      Design RFIC blocks including sub-THz RX/TX amplifiers, and other high‑frequency analog circuits.

·      Perform schematic‑level and layout‑level design in advanced SiGe and CMOS technologies.

·      Model and analyze high‑frequency effects including parasitics, coupling, EM behavior, and transmission‑line interactions.

·      Use industry‑standard tools such as Cadence, EMX, HFSS and Calibre for design, simulation, and verification.

·      Collaborate with cross‑functional engineering teams to integrate RFIC blocks into system‑level architectures.

·      Contribute to design reviews, architecture discussions, and high‑frequency performance optimization.

Qualifications

·      Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with 3 years of relevant industry experience, or M.S. with 5 years of relevant industry experience.

·      Hands‑on experience designing RFIC blocks at mmWave or sub‑THz frequencies.

·      Experience designing, testing or working with RF systems at frequencies of 20 GHz or higher.

·      Strong understanding of high‑frequency IC fundamentals including EM effects, layout impacts, and transmission‑line behavior.

·      Proficiency with Cadence, EMX, and Calibre; Unix/SKILL experience a plus.

·      Strong teamwork, communication, and multitasking skills in a fast‑moving environment.
