Principal RF Power Design Engineer

Job Description

The Power & GaN Technology Group is responsible for the design and production of RF Power Transistor and Amplifier Modules.

We are currently looking for a Principal RF Design Engineer working in our design center located in Mesa, AZ reporting to the Engineering lead.

A Principal Design Engineer will be responsible for developing RF Amplifier Transistors, Pre-Matched Amplifiers, and Hybrid Modules in GaN technology, from conceptual to production release phases, according to MACOM’s New Product Development procedures. This includes :

  • Participating to product definition, in order to asses feasibility and define target specifications.
  • Executing schematic circuit simulations and EM simulations.
  • Designing test circuits for evaluation and production testing.
  • Generating layouts and assembly drawings.
  • Device characterization and modeling.
  • Maintaining a fully equipped test bench.
  • Delivering fully characterized prototype samples (RF, thermal). Material procurement for prototypes.
  • Generating design reports, progress reports, test reports, datasheets and bill of materials.
  • Organizing design reviews.
  • Cooperating with Project Manager in order to maintain an up-to-date project plan and schedule.
  • Cooperating with Packaging & Assembly team to ensure compliance to manufacturing design rules and to develop cost effective solutions that lead to high production yields.
  • Cooperating with Product Engineering team for production release.
  • Keeping up to date with latest technologies (semiconductor, assembly, packaging, tools).
  • Customer support (sampling and application notes).
  • Coaching and mentoring of more junior engineers.

Job Requirements

  • Master degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering.
  • 10+ years of relevant experience.
  • Familiarity with Microwave Power Amplifier design theory and techniques. Non-linear active device modeling experience is a plus.
  • Familiarity with electrical simulation tools such as MWO or ADS.
  • Familiarity with EM simulation tools (such as EM Pro and AXIEM).
  • Familiarity with Thermal simulation tools (such as SYMMIC or other) is a plus.
  • Familiarity with AutoCAD or other layout drawing tool.
  • Familiarity with RF measurement techniques for small-signal and large-signal characterization of amplifiers : bench calibration, S-parameters, 1-tone and 2-tone power sweep measurements, pulsed measurements.

Load-Pull experience is a plus. Experience of automation of test setup is a plus.

  • Hands-on board level tuning.
  • Good communication, organization and documentation skills. Strong interpersonal skills and ability to build long lasting partnerships.

Ability to work in fast pace environment.
