Job description

Ireland Based | Remote Working Available |

We are seeking an experienced Senior RFIC Verification Engineer to join a leading global semiconductor organisation on a contract basis.

This is a highly specialised position focused on analogue mixed-signal (AMS) verification of complete RF transceiver chains (Rx/Tx). The successful candidate will have extensive hands-on RFIC experience, strong simulation capabilities and expertise in Verilog-A and Verilog-AMS.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform full-chain verification of RF receiver (Rx) and transmitter (Tx) designs, covering RF and analogue signal paths.
• Develop, execute and analyse analogue mixed-signal (AMS) simulations.
• Review RFIC block specifications and validate design performance against technical requirements.
• Investigate simulation failures, identify root causes and support design improvements.
• Work closely with chip leads and design engineers on integration and verification activities.
• Present simulation results, verification progress and specification compliance during technical design reviews.

Essential Requirements

• Minimum 5 years' hands-on RFIC design or verification experience within the semiconductor industry.
• Strong AMS simulation experience, specifically involving RF and analogue integrated circuits.
• Proven experience verifying complete RF transceiver chains (Rx and Tx), rather than individual RF blocks alone.
• Practical experience with both Verilog-A and Verilog-AMS for modelling, simulation or verification.
• Strong understanding of RF/analogue circuit behaviour, performance specifications and simulation debugging.
• Experience identifying, analysing and resolving specification failures at chip or subsystem level.

Desirable Skills

• Digital verification experience.
• Experience working on complex RFIC or wireless semiconductor products.
• Familiarity with RFIC design integration and cross-functional chip development teams.

Contract Details

• Location: Ireland based - remote working available.
• Contract Type: Contract.

Who Should Apply?

This opportunity is specifically suited to experienced RFIC Verification Engineers, RFIC Design Engineers and Analog Mixed-Signal Verification Engineers with proven experience in AMS simulation and full RF transceiver verification.

Please note: This is not a general RF systems, antenna, telecommunications or purely digital verification position. Candidates must demonstrate practical RFIC-level verification experience, including AMS simulations and Verilog-A/Verilog-AMS expertise.
