Job Responsibilities

The Power Amplifier / RF IC Design Engineer is responsible for design and development of RFICs for mobile handset applications, including Class A, AB / E / F, Push-Pull Differential, Doherty, and other high efficiency advanced topologies.

Designs will be Multi-Chip Modules, implemented in GaAs (HBT / pHEMT) as well as various IPD processes. Individual should have familiarity in RF & 3D EM modeling of RFICs and familiarity with PA parameters such as gain, linearity, PAE, P3dB, input / output matching and stability.

Good fundamental knowledge of Power amplifier classes like A / B / E / F / Doherty as well as power amplifier load-line tuning is preferred.

The candidate will work with a group of analog / RF IC design experts in development of cellular-band ICs that transmit, receive, and / or switch signal to or from antennas.

The candidate is expected to collect, track and resolve any performance and circuit design issues.

Qualifications

The candidate must be familiar with transistor-level Power Amplifier design in III-V or Si-based process technology. He or she must understand the basic device physics, have the ability to develop and use advanced linear and nonlinear models or simulation techniques and be able to translate between the model, simulation, physical implementation, and the measured performance of a device.

Good RF and microwave engineering knowledge are required in order to optimize RF performance of the RFIC. This job also requires familiarity with simulation tools, analog and RF circuit test characterization techniques and equipment.

This person must have good communication skills and be able to work with more experienced engineers to resolve and debug performance issues.

Job Requirements

  • BS Degree and 5 years’ experience required, or MSEE and 3 years’ experience or Ph.D. graduates.
