Job description

Overview

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.

Locations

Hybrid - 2 days a week minimum in one of these office locations:

• Irvin, CA
• Westlake Village, CA

Responsibilities

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

• 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); CTLE design
• Project experience in using different technologies. (SiGe BiCMOS is a plus)
• Experience as overseeing and mentoring junior circuit designers; chip lead with success in silicon; taking chips to mass production; translating chip level specifications into architecture
• Strong communication, presentation and documentation skills

Compensation

Expected Base Pay Range (USD): 145,300 - 215,010 USD 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.
• This role is eligible for our hybrid work model in which you will be able 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.
