About The Position

ADI’s Digital Business Unit is seeking an RFIC design engineer to join the R&D team and enable the next generation of intelligent RF/wireless communication products. Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to: - Perform RFIC design, integration, development, and validation for intelligent integrated RF/wireless communication system-on-chip (SOC) - Work with system teams and digital teams to build up circuit design requirements and block specifications - Coordinate chip integration with other circuit engineers and provide guidelines for layout teams - Work with product application teams and production teams to complete the chip characterization, production test development and end-customer supports A successful candidate must have a good understanding in communication theories and DSP concepts and have experience in wireless transceiver design and the full silicon and production development flow. Candidate must be familiar with modern wireless transceiver architecture design, system/behavior level modeling, and simulation for trade-off analysis and performance evaluation.

Requirements

• MSEE degree with 3+ years or Ph.D. degree of industry experience in RF/Analog circuit design with advanced CMOS processes
• Design experience with RF front-end circuits including LNAs, Mixers and PAs and baseband analog/mixed-signal circuits.
• Must have strong background in CMOS RF transceiver architecture for modern communication systems
• Solid understanding of device physics and advanced CMOS processes
• Sufficient familiarity with Verilog-A/AMS and MATLAB for behavioral modeling and system level simulations
• Strong knowledge of RF/Analog circuit simulation tools and testing techniques.
• Hands-on experience for RF test equipment including signal analyzer and network analyzer.
• Experience with EM extraction and modeling for custom passive devices is required.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.

Nice To Haves

• Design experience in Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Cellar system is strongly preferred.
• Design experience with low-power transceivers is strongly preferred.
• Knowledge of RF production level test is strongly preferred.
• Knowledge in wireless/digital communication theory and DSP is preferred.
• Experience in ADC/DAC, PLL design or filter design is a big plus.
