USA – BURNSVILLE, MN or REMOTE WORK

We are searching for a Senior level radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) / analog design engineer to join a strong group of RFIC designers to help lead us in the development of RF transceivers to address the IoT and 5G markets. Working within a dynamic design team you will participate in the development of next generation RFIC products for IoT and 5G wireless communication networks. 

Responsibilities:

• Specify, design and verify key circuits and sub-systems of integrated RF transceivers
• Work closely with other teams to facilitate the design and production process, e.g. Software, Signal Processing, Product Integration, Sales & Marketing
• Provide broad technical expertise and mentor junior engineers within the team

Profile:

• Highly motivated, pro-active self-starter
• Strong sense of ownership and responsibility
• Creative thinker with strong problem-solving skills
• Team oriented attitude with ability to thrive in a multicultural environment and to communicate well with cross-functional teams
• Excellent written and oral communications skills

Required Experience:

• Engineering degree in a relevant discipline. BS, MS or equivalent
• 5 to 10 years’ experience of relevant IC development
• Recent successful RFIC / analog project contributions on highly integrated RF transceivers, ideally related to broadband wireless communication systems, e.g. WiFi or LTE, on a nanometer scale RF-CMOS technology
• Understanding of Low power / low noise design techniques for Analog and RF
• Knowledge of Design for Manufacture considerations on cutting edge processes
• Full appreciation of RF and analog layout techniques

Required Detailed Knowledge at Circuit Level:

• Multi-Band RF circuit design in the 700MHz to 7GHz range, or
• Wideband IF circuits for broadband transceivers (including high-speed operational amplifiers and filters)
• Proficiency in Cadence and/or Mentor frontend and backend tools are absolutely required

Additional Useful Experience May Include:

• Familiarity with RF lab equipment such as signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and vector signal analyzers is required
• RFIC Sub-system and block level definition & specification
• Integrated single chip RF + Digital baseband projects
• Top level chip simulation and functional verification
• Analog behavioral language modeling (e.g. Verilog-AMS)
• Mixed-mode simulation environments (e.g. mixed verilog and device level)
• Direct conversion Rx and Tx architectures and associated considerations
• DFT and BIST for Analog and RF circuits
• Silicon test and de-bugging
