Principal RFIC Design Engineer

Job description

ESSENTIAL DUTIES

AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Designer will be responsible for the design of high performance analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks. Responsibilities include transistor level, block level and module level circuit architecture, design, simulation, optimization, layout supervision, layout verification, preparation of test plan for the test group, product characterization, reliability and yield assessment and modeling, simulation to bench and bench to test correlation, bench evaluation both at silicon level and at applications level, and documentation.

Job responsibilities require ability to communicate at all levels and with cross functional groups. Candidate must have good verbal and written communications skills and demonstrated track record of circuit innovation, must be a team player, be adaptable, and accept constructive criticism
