Job Summary

Our client is seeking an RF and Analog Design Engineer to contribute to the development of multi-tens of GHz Transimpedance amplifiers TIAs. As a member of the design group, the candidate will be responsible for design and validation of FET and BiCMOS circuits for high-speed broadband ICs that serve these applications.

Responsibilities

In this role you will be responsible for:

Active circuit design as well as technical leadership.

Designing leading edge transimpedance amplifier design, primarily in Silicon Germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS (Bipolar Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology, where circuit performance will need to transcend beyond industry leading products.

Developing transmission line structures and other millimeter wave structures to enable higher performance than would normally be achievable.

Design of hi-performance broadband analog circuits for optical front-end receivers.

Design of various other analog circuits including linear regulators, AGC loop, current/voltage sensors, bandgaps etc.

Developing microarchitecture of major circuit blocks and guide team of designers to implement them. Work with various technologies including SiGe BiCMOS and CMOS.

Working with other functional groups to facilitate post-silicon validation, qualification, transition to mass production, and customer support.

Qualifications & Experience

Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering in the areas of design of high-performance RF/Analog Receiver/TIA design and 10 - 15 years experience

Or MSc EE Or PhD EE with 5+ years of experience in the areas of design of high-performance RF/Analog Receiver/TIA design.

Proven experience in IC design including chip tape-out AND lab evaluation of receiver design working in the industry).

Solid experience in.
Using EDA CAD tools

Performing Analog Custom Layout

Experience in measuring IC performance and debug of design to correlate simulations to measurements

Deep understanding of fundamentals, including:
Detailed transistor level design

Device physics

Control/Feedback loop stability analysis

Direct project experience in at least one of the following areas is a plus:
AGC loop design

High precision analog circuits (Including linear regulators, current sensors, bandgaps and DAC/ADC)

Experience in CTLE design

Experience in Package-System integration issues desired

Project experience in using different technologies. (SiGe BiCMOS is a plus)

An avid team-player

Experience in the following is a strong plus:
Overseeing and mentoring junior circuit designers

Experience as chip lead with success in silicon

Experience in taking chips to mass production

Ability to translate chip level specifications into architecture

Strong communication, presentation and documentation skills.

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)

145,300 - 215,010, $ per annum

The successful candidates starting base pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location and market conditions. The expected base pay range for this role may be modified based on market conditions.

Additional Compensation and Benefit Elements

Our client offers a total compensation package with a base, bonus and equity.

Health and financial wellbeing are part of the package. That means flexible time off, 401k, plus a year-end shutdown, floating holidays, paid time off to volunteer.
