As a Principal RFIC Design Engineer IV, you will be part of the RF/Analog Design organization supporting RF and analog circuit block development. The ideal candidate will have hands-on RF and analog IC design depth, strong cross-functional communication, and a proven track record of circuit innovation and successful design releases which will align successfully in the organization.

Job Title:Principal RFIC Design Engineer IV

Location:San Jose, California (WD hybrid schedule: 3 days onsite, 2 WFH). Open to remote-US candidates working PST hours; flexible to relocate if converted to FTE.

Pay Range:$80

What's the Job?

• Own the design of high-performance RF and analog circuit blocks from transistor-level architecture through module-level implementation.
• Drive circuit architecture, simulation, optimization, and layout supervision, including layout verification and readiness for downstream testing.
• Prepare test plans for the testing team and support reliability and yield assessment through modeling and evaluation.
• Perform simulation to bench and bench to test correlation, including bench evaluation at silicon level and at applications level.
• Deliver clear, accurate documentation and communicate progress, risks, and results across cross-functional partners.

What's Needed?

• Hands-on design and development experience in RF and analog integrated circuits.
• Experience in at least one, preferably multiple, areas of full CMOS circuit design and development, including baseband amplifiers, low noise RF amplifiers, wide bandwidth amplifiers; mixers and up-/down-converters; high speed drivers and receivers, CDR circuits, equalizers; and power amplifiers.
• Demonstrated experience with 40nm and below CMOS technology.
