Job Title

Principal Analog/RF Design Engineer

Role Summary

Lead design and verification of analog and RF blocks for next-generation UWB wireless transceivers across Automotive, Mobile, Industrial, IoT and Consumer products.

Collaborate with mixed-signal, digital, layout, test and applications teams to deliver production-ready ICs and support lab characterization and product release.

Experience Level

Senior level — Principal/experienced engineer. Requires 12+ years of Analog/RF design experience.

Responsibilities

Deliver and verify analog/RF components and support their integration into production ICs.

• Create and develop Analog/RF systems and sub-systems using industry best practices for design, verification, and testing.
• Write verification plans and develop automated test benches; create and verify behavioral models (Verilog-A/AMS, SystemVerilog-RNM, Wreal).
• Design and verify Analog/RF blocks and sub-blocks (transmitter, PA, LNA, filters, ADC) to at least 20 GHz using standard EDA tools.
• Collaborate with IC layout engineers to optimize design and layout for DFT, isolation and power.
• Host design and verification reviews and mentor engineers and interns.
• Support lab evaluation, characterization and testing; work with product teams to meet specifications and schedules.
• Drive productivity improvements through improved methodologies, tooling and documentation.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.

• 12+ years of analog/RF design experience.
• Hands-on circuit design experience for transceivers and analog/mixed-signal blocks.
• Proven experience with Cadence Virtuoso and standard design flows.
• Detailed analog/mixed-signal design experience on advanced CMOS process nodes.
• Ability to work independently on complex tasks and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.
• Clear written and verbal communication and presentation skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with high-frequency RF designs and bringing chip designs to product release.
• Working knowledge of EM field solvers such as Momentum, EMX or HFSS.

Education Requirements

Required: Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering or a related field. Preferred: Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering or related field. The posting allows equivalent practical experience in lieu of an advanced degree. Fields include Electronic/Electrical Engineering and related technical disciplines.
