Serve as a technical authority for RFIC architecture, circuit design strategy, and product-level tradeoff decisions across performance, power, area, cost, manufacturability, yield, robustness, and schedule.
Provide technical mentoring to other design team members; partner with design management on resource planning, technical priorities, risk assessment, and cross-functional execution.
Lead the development, validation, and deployment of AI-enabled RFIC design automation methodologies that improve IC product development efficiency, quality, engineering insight, and time to market.
Identify, prioritize, and implement opportunities for EDA workflow orchestration, simulation execution and analysis, design-space exploration, verification, documentation, and product debug.
Partner with software and AI engineers to integrate these capabilities into scalable, validated, and reusable engineering workflows.
Develop ICs in RF SOI and other appropriate semiconductor technologies for RF frontend platform products.
Lead and provide technical direction in product design, including schematic capture, IC layout, simulation, package analysis, evaluation board development, test plan creation, validation, and product release.
Minimum Qualifications (Experience and Skills)
9+ years of relevant RFIC design and product development experience, including demonstrated ownership of complex RFIC designs from concept through production release.
Strong understanding of analog biasing and control circuitry.
Excellent RF design and analysis skillset, including knowledge of S-parameters, noise figure, stability, P1dB, harmonics, IMD, IIP2/IIP3, and the capability to design for and measure each parameter.
Strong understanding of CMOS devices and semiconductor technologies as they relate to circuit- and product-level performance tradeoffs.
Demonstrated ability to lead technical development and help develop the technical skills of other engineers.
Advanced working knowledge of analog and RF IC layout techniques and physical design considerations.
Strong programming or scripting capability for engineering automation, preferably including Python.
Experience developing or applying design-flow automation techniques to semiconductor or RF engineering workflows.
Familiarity with generative AI, large language models, agentic AI, or related AI-enabled engineering technologies.
Ability to evaluate AI-generated engineering results and establish appropriate validation and human-review methodologies.
Demonstrated ability to communicate and document design work, technical decisions, tradeoff analyses, and methodologies with clarity, completeness, and audience-appropriate detail.
Proficiency with RF IC EDA tools including Cadence Virtuoso, Keysight ADS, and EM simulators such as EMX and HFSS.
