MMWave & RF IC Design Engineer

Summary

You have a M.Sc. or Ph.D. in electrical engineering, and a solid expertise in mmWave IC design with a silicon-proven track record. You worked with advanced CMOS technology nodes for wireless applications. You are eager to join a dynamic team developing cutting-edge technology products for mmWave applications. You are a self-motivated, independent, and efficient team member that has good communication skills and brings solid IC design experience to the team.

Responsibilities

We are looking for a mmWave & RF IC designer to own several parts of the IC, including RF front-end, LO synthesis and distribution circuits. We are open to different levels of seniority.

Responsibilities include:

• designing mmWave, analog and/or RF blocks (e.g., PA, LNA, PS, mixer, divider, multiplier, VCO, PLL),
• designing mmWave passive structures (e.g., TL, transformer, power splitter/combiner),
• designing analog baseband amplification, filtering and buffering circuits,
• implementing ESD, DFT, DC, biasing and calibration blocks and methods,
• developing test plans and contributing to validation and characterization campaigns.

Requirements

The successful candidate has proven expertise in RF and mmWave IC design.

Following requirements are a must, candidates must tick all boxes to be considered:

• degree in Electrical Engineering with experience in mmWave IC design,
• solid background in analog and/or RF design,
• contribution to successful chips with mmWave circuits,
• advanced use of Cadence Virtuoso custom IC tool suite,
• passive design experience (e.g., TL, transformer, power splitter/combiner),
• experience with EMX, ADS, momentum and/or HFSS.

Following qualifications will make you stand out:

• industrial experience in a relevant domain,
• DFT and PVT-aware design experience including biasing blocks (e.g., Bandgap, PTAT, LDO, etc.),
• experience with ESD design and strategy, and with chip finishing (e.g., IO ring design),
• experience with mixed-signal top-level simulation and verification,
• knowledge of Python/Matlab,
• experience with lab verification, characterization and ATE data review and correlation to simulations,experience with package/antenna design/modeling and interactions with PCB/packaging engineer.
