BAE Systems Microelectronics Engineering is looking for an RF/Photonic Integrated Circuit (IC) designer to join us in developing novel systems-on-chip (SOCs) in small geometry CMOS cutting-edge SiGe BiCMOS processes. These designs are funded through internal and customer R&D efforts and require innovative circuit architectures and active research to meet next-generation performance goals. Our cutting edge mixed-signal ICs may be comprised of ADCs, DACs, Fractional-N PLLs, and RF/microwave components (such as LNAs, mixers, baluns, vector modulators), and often use digital calibration techniques to meet stringent defense performance requirements. As such, the candidate is expected to work across disciplines with digital, analog, photonic, and RF design leads to realize next generation products.

This role requires solid intuitive and mathematical understanding of transistor-level circuit design and layout issues that drive analog/RF performance, including EM coupling interactions. The candidate will be expected to work collaboratively through all phases of design, simulation, layout, verification, and test. They must be able to identify and evaluate alternative circuit topologies (including novel ones), analyze design trade-offs, and present the results in a clear and concise way.
