Analog IC Design Engineer

Texas Instruments; Town of Texas (WI); On-site; USD 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

A leading semiconductor manufacturer is looking for a Lead IC Design Engineer to develop RF transceiver products. You will be responsible for the entire design cycle, including architecture, schematic design, layout, and testing. Candidates should have experience with PLL and ADC design, as well as a complete design cycle of RF transceivers. This role requires a strong understanding of RF circuit components and the ability to fix design issues for subsequent production phases.

Qualifications

• Experience in RF transceiver design through one complete design cycle including architecture, schematic, and validation.
• Proven ability in PLL, Clock Systems, IF filter, VGA, Transmitter, and ADC design.
• Strong understanding of circuit components including RF blocks such as LNA, DAC, and Power Amplifiers.

Responsibilities

• Lead design of RF transceivers from concept to validation.
• Conduct testing and implement design fixes for tape out.
• Collaborate in the design of various RF subsystems.

Job description

About RF Transceiver Group in Connectivity:

Texas Instruments RF Connectivity group is expanding their RF Transceiver Design group. This group develops cutting edge RF Transceiver products (+MCU integrated) for Wireless-LAN (WIFI) and Ultra-Wideband Systems (UWB). The candidate will join in the UWB Design group. Candidate gets to experience Block Architecture Phase, Concept Design and take the design through the various design phases such as Schematic, Layout, Extracted simulations and Test and Verification. The role is primarily in Analog/RF class of circuit design to meet the overall System & Product requirements. The typical blocks include RF blocks such as LNA, TA, Down-conversion Mixers, Base-band filters, High Speed ADC to send data to the Modem. Reverse Chain namely for Transmitter, starting from DAC, Base-band filter, Up-conversion mixer and Power Amplifier stages to drive the TX Pin. LO system design including Chrystal Oscillator, integer/fractional PLL and LO Distribution systems. Various Calibration modules (AGC, PDET, Gain, Offset, IQMM, etc) to calibrate the Transceiver chain is part of the design. Low Current Mode and Complex Power Management to operate at low LDO input voltage etc. The Design Engineer in RF Connectivity gets introduced to a Holistic view of the product including, Radio Silicon Design, Packaging and PCB and solution design.

About the Role:

We are hiring one lead level IC Design Engineer with demonstrated design cycle experience. Some of the possible roles are:

1. PLL & Clock System Design
2. IF filter and VGA Design
3. Transmitter Design
4. ADC Design

Candidate should have gone through 1 complete design cycle of an RF transceiver: namely Architecture, Schematic Design, Layout Design, Tape Out, Test & Validation and identifying design fixes for subsequent Tape Out.
