About The Position

Responsibilities: Design SOI RFICs for 4G/5G smart phone integrated RF Front-end (RFFE) Modules. Design RF blocks and matching circuits on SOI die and PCB having compact form factor layouts handling high power. Generation of innovations IPs on new RF circuits and new RF systems to improve module performances and cost factors. Development of new conceptual design to successful volume productions by improving and optimizing transistor level and PCB level circuits. Management and development of the SOI layouts and the PCB layouts. Presenting the design details and technology evaluations among various development teams.

Requirements

• Independent, self-started team player willing to thrive under dynamic working environments.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects under short timelines.
• Solid SOI RF circuits’ development experiences with proven successful production delivery records, including 4G/5G high power switches, couplers and attenuators and etc.
• Solid EM simulation skills and RF module integration design experiences on small factor PCBs.
• Solid experiences of SOI transistors models on both small signal and large signal.
• Excellent design and debug experiences of high power SOI switches using various simulation tools on source pulling, load pulling, power matching, harmonics, ruggedness and reliability.
• Hand on experiences with lab instruments such as Spectrum analyzer and Network analyzer.
• Familiar with CMOS RFIC design, analog design and digital design.
• Familiar with ESD circuits design of digital IOs, analog IOs and RF IOs.
• Familiar with RFIC design flows and simulation tools, including Sprectre, Golden Gate, AMS, ADS and etc.
