Senior Principal Analog/RF Design Engineer

Job Title

Senior Principal Analog/RF Design Engineer

Role Summary

Lead design and verification of analog and RF subsystems for next-generation wireless transceivers (UWB and related applications) across Automotive, Mobile, Industrial, IoT and Consumer markets. Work within a multidisciplinary IC team to deliver production-ready mixed-signal silicon.

Experience Level

Senior-level role. Expectation: 15+ years of analog/RF design experience (or equivalent experience with an advanced degree).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include hands-on circuit design, verification, and cross-functional coordination to move designs from concept to silicon and product release.

• 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; produce and validate behavioral models (Verilog-A/AMS, SystemVerilog-RNM, Wreal).
• Design and verify Analog/RF blocks (Transmitter, PA, LNA, filters, ADCs, etc.) up to ~20 GHz using standard design flows.
• Collaborate with IC layout engineers to optimize performance, isolation, and power; ensure DFT and manufacturability considerations are addressed.
• Host design and verification reviews and support lab evaluation, characterization, and testing.
• Work cross-functionally with mixed-signal, digital/systems, software, applications, and test teams to meet specifications and schedules.
• Provide technical leadership and mentor engineers and interns to improve team productivity and design quality.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and practical experience required for day-one contribution, plus preferred skills listed separately.

• 15+ years of analog/RF design experience or equivalent experience at senior levels.
• Proven circuit design experience on Transceivers and analog/mixed-signal blocks on advanced CMOS nodes.
• Excellent practical knowledge of the Cadence Virtuoso design environment.
• Experience with behavioral modeling and verification of analog/mixed-signal blocks.
• Strong teamwork, independent problem-solving, and clear communication/presentation skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with high-frequency RF designs and taking chips through product release.
• Familiarity with EM field solvers (Momentum, EMX, HFSS) and RF layout/EM interactions.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering or a related field is listed as required; a Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering or related field is preferred. The posting also permits equivalent practical experience in lieu of degree-based requirements.
