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

• Active circuit design as well as technical leadership.
• Designing leading edge transimpedance amplifier design, primarily in Silicon Germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS 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 high-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 guiding a 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

• Bachelor's 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 debugging 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
• Project experience in using different technologies (SiGe BiCMOS is a plus).
• 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 candidate's 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, including flexible time off, 401k, a year-end shutdown, floating holidays, and paid time off to volunteer.
• This role is eligible for our hybrid work model, allowing you to split time between working from home and on-site in the office.
• All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or protected veteran status.
