RFIC Engineer

The RoleWe’re looking for a Principal RFIC Engineer to set the technical direction for the advanced beamformer integrated circuits at the heart of our phased array solutions. As a foundational technical leader, you’ll help set the direction of both our product and silicon roadmap, define the architectures that underpin our systems, and establish the design culture and methodology the team scales on.You’ll work across RFIC design from architecture through tape-out and bring-up, partnering closely with antenna, digital, and DSP teams. As a principal-level individual contributor, you’ll be the person others turn to on the hardest RF problems, and the decisions you make will ripple through every product we build.ResponsibilitiesDesign RFIC beamformers and associated RF/mm-wave building blocks (phase shifters, attenuators, LNAs, PAs, mixers, switches) for phased array systemsDrive designs from specification and architecture definition through schematic, layout, tape-out, and silicon validationRun circuit and system-level simulations covering linearity, noise, gain/phase control accuracy, and powerCollaborate with antenna, digital, and DSP teams to ensure RFIC performance meets full-system requirementsSupport lab characterization, debug, and design iteration of fabricated partsDefine RFIC architectures and lead the most complex and ambiguous design challengesSet technical direction across the RFIC roadmap and influence system-level trade-offsEstablish design flows, methodology, and standards; mentor and elevate the broader teamMinimum QualificationsBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field10+ years of relevant experience in RFIC or RF/mm-wave circuit design, with a track record of leading complex designs from architecture through siliconExpert proficiency with industry-standard design and simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, ADS, and EM simulators such as EMX, HFSS, or Momentum)Authoritative grounding in RF fundamentals: matching, noise, linearity, and S-parametersPreferred QualificationsMSc or PhD with a focus on RFIC designExperience designing beamformers or phased array front-end ICsFamiliarity with mm-wave design and silicon technologies (SiGe BiCMOS, CMOS, GaAs/GaN)Experience taking designs through tape-out and post-silicon validationBackground in communications or radar system requirements
