Qualifications

• Experience in designing RF transceivers and subsystems.
• Familiarity with CMOS/BiCMOS processes and validation methods.
• Proficiency with EDA tools for schematic-to-layout flows.

Responsibilities

• Design subsystems such as LNAs, PAs, mixers, PLLs, LO generation, baseband filters, ADCs, DACs, or other analog blocks.
• Take your design from schematic to layout and verification, using Cadence, Keysight, ANSYS, and Mentor Graphics tools.
• Work on sub-micron CMOS design and/or BiCMOS designs.
• Define and participate in bring-up and validations of products.
• Support production test.
• Support integration of RFICs into antenna modules.
• Collaborate with RFIC Design Engineers located in Gothenburg and Kista, with labs at both locations.
