Ideal Candidate

10 years of relevant experience

Experience running programs as lead

Need to have High speed RF design experience (preferably broadband) and low speed design experience

In this role you will be responsible for:

• Active circuit design as well as technical leadership.
• Design leading edge trans-impedance amplifier design, primarily in Silicon Germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS (Bipolar Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology, where circuit performance will need to transcend beyond industry-leading products.
• Develop transmission line structures and other millimeter wave structures to enable higher performance than would normally be achievable.
• Design of hi-performance broadband analog circuits for optical front-end receivers.
• Design of various other analog circuits including linear regulators, AGC loop, current/voltage sensors, bandgaps etc.
• Develop microarchitecture of major circuit blocks and guide a team of designers to implement them. Work with various technologies including SiGe BiCMOS and CMOS.
• Work with other functional groups to facilitate post-silicon validation, qualification, transition to mass production, and customer support.

Required skills/qualifications/experience:

Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering in the areas of design of high-performance RF/Analog Receiver/TIA design and 10 years of experience OR MSc EE/PhD EE with 5 years of experience in the areas of design of high-performance RF/Analog Receiver/TIA design.

Proven experience in IC design including chip tape-out AND lab evaluation of receiver design working in the industry). 

Solid experience in:

• Using EDA CAD tools
• Performing Analog Custom Layout
• Experience in measuring IC performance and debug of design to correlate simulations to measurements
• Deep understanding of fundamentals, including:
• Detailed transistor level design
• Device physics
• Control/Feedback loop stability analysis
• Direct project experience in at least one of the following areas is a plus:
• AGC loop design
• High precision analog circuits (Including linear regulators, current sensors, bandgaps and DAC/ADC)
• Experience in CTLE design
• Experience in Package-System integration issues desired
• Project experience in using different technologies. (SiGe BiCMOS is a plus)
• A team-player
• Experience in the following is a strong plus:
• Overseeing and mentoring junior circuit designers
• Experience as chip lead with success in silicon 
• Experience in taking chips to mass production 
• Ability to translate chip level specifications into architecture
• Strong communication, presentation and documentation skills.
