Job description

Principal/Staff RFIC Engineer (PA, LNA, FEM IC Development)

Experience: 8–10+ years

We are seeking an experienced RF Engineer with deep expertise in Power Amplifiers (PAs), Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), and Front‑End Module (FEM) IC development. The role involves end‑to‑end design, simulation, validation, and optimization of RF circuits across X/Ku/Ka/E bands.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, simulate, and layout PA, LNA, and FEM ICs for multi‑band RF applications.
• Optimize RF performance for linearity, noise figure, gain, power efficiency, and bandwidth.
• Conduct EM simulations and ensure design robustness.
• Develop test plans and perform RF characterization using VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and other RF test equipment.
• Debug and resolve RF design issues throughout the development cycle.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams for requirements, reviews, and design integration.
• Guide junior engineers and support methodology improvements.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 8–10+ years of hands‑on experience in RF IC design (PAs, LNAs, FEMs).
• Strong foundation in RF circuit theory, impedance matching, and transmission line concepts.
• Proficiency with RF design/simulation tools (ADS, AWR Microwave Office, or similar).
• Experience in RF measurements and lab debugging.
• Knowledge of GaN, GaAs, SiGe semiconductor technologies and RF IC processes.
