Description
As an RF IC design engineer, you will be responsible for providing RF solutions for cellular transceiver chips. Responsibilities include:Working with platform architects, system, and digital design groups to define the requirements for RF and baseband blocks based on the system requirements.Collaborating with the technology team on process selection for the target device.Driving transistor-level feasibility studies of RF/mixed-signal circuit blocks and architectures.Designing various component blocks inside the RF transceiver, including LNA, upconverters/downconverters, baseband filters, VGAs, LO/PLL circuits, driver amplifiers/power amplifiers, linear RF switches, attenuators, low noise regulators, amplifiers, and biasing circuits.Working closely with the mask design team to implement layout views of designs.
Minimum Qualifications
- BS and 3+ years of relevant industry experience required.
- Familiarity with various RF transceiver architectures and building blocks and their trade-offs.
- Solid understanding of bandgaps, bias, opamps, LDOs, feedback, and compensation techniques.
- Very good knowledge of one or more of the following tools: Cadence/Virtuoso, Spectre, AMS, GoldenGate, AFS, ADS, EMX, layout parasitic extraction tools, SimVision, RelExpert.
Preferred Qualifications
- Direct experience designing and bringing into mass production highly integrated cellular RF transceivers in deep sub-micron RF CMOS technology.
- Ability to innovate and implement novel solutions for sophisticated engineering problems.
- Ability to collaborate with multi-functional teams to define system architecture and requirements.
- Experience in collaboration with the digital design group for an optimum partition between the digital and analog domains.
- Deep understanding of RF CMOS implementation fundamentals and basic building blocks, including LNAs, mixers, VCOs and DCOs, PLLs, LO, and PAs.
- Design experience with digital TX or analog/digital/sampling PLL circuits is a bonus.
- RF device modeling experience, including device noise parameters and inductor modeling. Insights into packaging effects, supply isolations, high-frequency ESD structures, and circuit layout for optimum RF performance.
- Bring-up and debugging skills, and experience in working with production test engineers to build test plans and design for testability.
- Ability to stay up-to-date with industry trends and new technologies to drive continuous improvement.
- MSEE/PhD preferred.
