Job ResponsibilitiesPrincipal Power Amplifier/RF IC Design Engineer is responsible for the design and development of RFICs for mobile handset applications, including Class A, AB/E/F, Push-Pull Differential PAs, Doherty, and other high-efficiency advanced topologies. Designs will be Multi-Chip Modules, implemented in GaAs (HBT/pHEMT) as well as various IPD processes. The individual should have expertise in RF & 3D EM modeling of RFICs and familiarity with PA parameters such as gain, linearity, PAE, P3dB, input/output matching, and stability. Expert-level fundamental knowledge of Power amplifier classes like A/B/E/F/ Doherty as well as power amplifier load-line tuning is preferred. The candidate will work with a group of analog/RF IC design experts in the development of cellular-band ICs that transmit, receive, and/or switch signals to or from antennas. The candidate is expected to collect, track, and resolve any performance and circuit design issues. The candidate is expected to drive architectural innovation for industry-leading performance and collaborate with other design centers. The candidate is expected to drive RFIC PA tape-outs to fulfill product schedule and mentor/train other junior engineers.
QualificationsThe candidate must be an industry expert with transistor-level Power Amplifier design in III-V or Si-based process technology. He or she must be familiar with the basic device physics, have the ability to develop and use advanced linear and nonlinear models or simulation techniques and be able to translate between the model, simulation, physical implementation, and the measured performance of a device. Expert-level RF and microwave engineering knowledge is required in order to optimize RF performance of the RFIC. This job also requires expertise with simulation tools, analog and RF circuit test characterization techniques and equipment. This person must have good communication skills and be able to work with more other design centers and junior engineers to resolve and debug performance issues.
Job Requirements- BS Degree and 12 years' experience required, or MSEE and 8 years' experience or Ph.D graduates with 3 years of industry experience.
- Proficient with amplifier modes of operation: Class A, AB, C, E, F, understanding of power amplifier design fundamentals.
- Industrial Expertise with RFIC design experience using CMOS/GaAs/SiGe HBT for PAs.
- Proficient in ADS and HFSS, and experience with design simulation tools or equivalent - APD, Cadence Virtuoso.
- Expert with analog circuit design principles and basic EM theory.
- Lab experience to perform IC / MCM characterization and debugging.
- Team player and self-motivated to meet challenging product requirements and schedule.
