About the Role
Experienced Millimeter-Wave (mmWave) IC designer specializing in engineering high-frequency (30 GHz+) transceivers and components for 5G/6G communications, aerospace radar, and automotive sensors. Will drive the full product lifecycle, tackling challenges like parasitic extraction, thermal management, and high-frequency electromagnetic modeling. High level of customer engagement at a fast pace on state of the art design.
Responsibilities
- Drive the full product lifecycle
- Tackle challenges like parasitic extraction, thermal management, and high-frequency electromagnetic modeling
- Engage with customers at a fast pace on state-of-the-art designs
- Perform lab characterization using high-frequency equipment
Requirements
- Deep expertise in designing custom blocks such as Power Amplifiers (PAs), Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), mixers, and Voltage-Controlled Oscillators (VCOs)
- Deep expertise in designing Tx and Rx signal chains for noise, figure, linearity dynamic range and power efficiency
- Deep experience in RF PLL design including Sigma delta, FRAC-N PLL, phase noise and spurious signal, settling time
- Experience with PLL building blocks such as PFD, charge pumps, dividers, multipliers
- Proficiency in RF transceiver architectures, direct-conversion topologies, and phased-array systems
- Proficiency in signal chain analysis and system figures of merit such as ACPR, EVM and BER
- Hands-on experience on advanced nodes using RF SOI process and deep knowledge of the required trade-offs
- Mastery of standard EDA software environments
- Extensive lab characterization experience utilizing high-frequency equipment like spectrum analyzers, VNAs, and probe stations
- 10+ years of industrial experience taking designs from conception through tape-out to final lab validation
