Requirements
- Minimum of 5-10 years of experience in analog and RFIC design, with a track record of successful product tape-outs
- Proficient in analog/RF circuit design for ICs in CMOS technology
- Strong expertise with Cadence Spectre, Mentor Graphics, or similar EDA tools
- Solid understanding of analog/RF principles, including matching, noise, stability, and non-linearity
- Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, strong communication abilities, and an aptitude for working in a collaborative environment
Responsibilities
- Design, simulate, and optimize analog and RF IC blocks such as amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, filters, phase-locked loops (PLLs), low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), and power amplifiers (PAs)
- Develop high-performance designs that meet stringent requirements for power, noise, and linearity
- Conduct detailed circuit simulations and optimizations using industry-standard EDA tools (Cadence, Mentor Graphics, etc.)
- Perform pre-tapeout and post-layout verification to ensure design integrity and performance specifications are met
- Guide layout engineers on the physical implementation of analog/RF blocks, with an understanding of the impact of parasitics and layout dependencies
- Conduct post-layout simulations and resolve layout-related issues to meet performance and yield targets
- Collaborate with test engineers to define test strategies and design-for-test (DFT) implementations
- Support silicon validation and debugging, providing technical expertise to ensure successful first-pass silicon
- Work with system architects, digital designers, and process technology teams to align on project specifications and timelines
- Support product and test engineering teams in production ramp and yield improvement activities
- Document design processes, circuit blocks, and simulation results in detail
- Present design reviews and progress updates to internal teams and management
Preferred Qualifications
- MS or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field, with a focus on Analog/RFIC design
- Experience with high-frequency circuit design (GHz range) and high-speed data converters
- Knowledge of mixed-signal IC design, including ADC/DAC design and integration of analog and digital components
- Experience with RF system design for wireless communications (LTE, 5G, etc.)
