DUTIES:

Module level design, modeling, and integration of PAs, LNAs, switches and filters into highly compact multi-chip modules (MCM). This specifically involves working with: microwave/RF Front-End circuit design like PA or LNA design details (DC bias, Bias Tee, Stability, impedance matching etc.) and RF testing. Further, any experience stated herein to involve: (2) integrating module dies such as amplifiers, switches, attenuators, etc. in single or multichip air-cavity or over-mold transmit/receive RF front-end modules (FEMs); use of RF CAD tools (ADS and/or Cadence Simulation and Layout) and EM simulators such as ADS Momentum, ADS FEM, and/or Ansys HFSS in conjunction with circuit simulators to accurately predict overall circuit performance; responsibility for Electromagnetic (EM) Simulation tools ADS FEM/Ansys HFSS to develop laminate-based modules; and supporting Full Module Simulation. Moreover, work in close communication and cooperation with design, modeling, and process engineering teams to generate, implement and support best-in-industry Nonlinear and Linear models. Characterization, verification, and debugging of the design through lab measurements with data analysis and programming tools such as Spotfire and Excel. Designing III-V microwave/millimeter-wave MMIC amplifiers, switches, phase shifters, attenuators, time-delay units (TDUs), hybrid multichip modules, or transmit/receive front-end modules (FEMs). Support product through critical lifecycle stages including concept/feasibility, development, qualification, and production

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with coursework Radio Frequency focus, and 3 years of work experience. Additionally, 1 year of experience to involve knowledge or understanding of: (1) microwave/RF Front-End circuit design like PA or LNA design details (DC bias, Bias Tee, Stability, impedance matching etc.) and RF testing. Further, any experience stated herein to involve: (2) integrating module dies such as amplifiers, switches, attenuators, etc. in single or multichip air-cavity or over-mold transmit/receive RF front-end modules (FEMs); (3) use of RF CAD tools (ADS and/or Cadence Simulation and Layout) and EM simulators such as ADS Momentum, ADS FEM, and/or Ansys HFSS in conjunction with circuit simulators to accurately predict overall circuit performance; (4) responsibility for Electromagnetic (EM) Simulation tools ADS FEM/Ansys HFSS to develop laminate-based modules; and (5) supporting Full Module Simulation.

ALTERNATIVE REQUIREMENTS:

In lieu of a Bachelor's degree, employer will accept a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with coursework Radio Frequency focus, and 1 year of work experience or 9 graduate credit hours to involve knowledge or understanding of: (1) microwave/RF Front-End circuit design like PA or LNA design details (DC bias, Bias Tee, Stability, impedance matching etc.) and RF testing. Further, any experience or graduate coursework stated herein to involve: (2) integrating module dies such as amplifiers, switches, attenuators, etc. in single or multichip air-cavity or over-mold transmit/receive RF front-end modules (FEMs); (3) use of RF CAD tools (ADS and/or Cadence Simulation and Layout) and EM simulators such as ADS Momentum, ADS FEM, and/or Ansys HFSS in conjunction with circuit simulators to accurately predict overall circuit performance; (4) responsibility for Electromagnetic (EM) Simulation tools ADS FEM/Ansys HFSS to develop laminate-based modules; and (5) supporting Full Module Simulation
