RF Design Engineer

SUMMARY:

We are looking for a skilled RF Design Engineer to join the Qorvo Automotive Connectivity Business Unit (ACBU). This person will be responsible for the development of innovative products for the automotive market based on Qorvo's advanced semiconductor and packaging technologies. In this role, you will both develop custom integrated circuits for applications unique to the Automotive space as well as evaluate and modify existing solutions to meet Automotive reliability requirements.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Work with engineering and marketing managers to define product requirements
• Create and execute product development plans including design, simulation, layout, and verification testing
• Work with cross-functional team members to bring products from conception to full production release
• Perform detailed RFIC/MMIC design and simulation for telematic applications in the automotive space with emphasis on  RF PAs or integrating multi-chip modules.
• Perform detailed evaluation of existing Si die, GaAs die and module designs to assess the feasibility of supporting Automotive temperature and lifetime requirements and propose modifications. Redesign or rework these products to meet Automotive requirements by modifying die or modules, completing simulations, implementing layouts, and conducting appropriate design reviews
• Characterize, verify, and debug the design through lab measurements.
• Understand, reinforce, and improve design best practices, reviews, and other product line design processes.
• Generate and maintain detailed documentation including specifications, FMEAs, assembly drawings, BOMs, design, and compliance reviews.
• Support projects throughout the product development lifecycle with product prototypes and samples, data and design summaries, application circuit recommendations, and analysis of field failures. 

REQUIREMENTS:

• BSEE with 5 or more years of experience or MSEE with 3 or more years of experience

• Experience designing RFIC/MMIC front-end modules, particularly with experience in PA design or module integration. 
• Design experience in one of the following technologies: HBT, pHEMT, SiGe, SOI, CMOS, BAW, SAW, and laminates.
• Hands-on laboratory work experience including RF tuning and testing using network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and other RF test equipment.
• Experienced with standard RFIC EDA tools such as Keysight ADS, Cadence Virtuoso, and AWR Microwave Office using both linear and non-linear simulation techniques
• Experienced with one or more of the following 2.5D or 3D EM simulation tools: Momentum, HFSS, FEM, or EMX.
• Ability to effectively communicate ideas and progress status in presentations and written reports.
