Develop and optimize circuits operating in the 24 GHz, 60 GHz, 77 GHz, and up to 120 GHz frequency ranges
-
Design and integrate RF/mmWave IPs and ICs for advanced radar systems
-
Perform system- and transistor-level design, simulation, and verification
-
Collaborate with system architects, layout engineers, and validation teams to ensure performance and manufacturability
-
Support lab validation, silicon bring-up, and performance characterization
-
Contribute to design reviews and technical problem-solving across teams
Required Qualifications
-
Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related field with 4+ years of industry experience in RF/mmWave IC design (or PhD with relevant experience)
-
Strong theoretical and practical expertise in silicon-based RF IC design, particularly at frequencies above 50 GHz
-
Experience designing mmWave circuits such as LNAs, PAs, phase rotators, splitters/combiners, and frequency multipliers
-
Proficiency in analog/RF simulation, layout, and verification tools (Cadence suite, EMX or similar)
-
Solid understanding of semiconductor technologies and fabrication processes
-
Experience with CMOS or BiCMOS technologies
-
Hands-on experience with RF measurement and characterization using VNAs, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and signal generators
Nice to Have
-
Experience with automotive radar or ADAS applications
-
Familiarity with automotive standards (e.g., ISO 26262 functional safety concepts)
-
Experience with full tape-out cycles and post-silicon bring-up/debug
-
Knowledge of mmWave packaging effects and parasitic modeling
-
Exposure to antenna-in-package or antenna-on-chip designs
-
Scripting skills (Python, MATLAB, or similar) for automation or data analysis
-
Experience mentoring junior engineers or leading small technical efforts
-
Strong documentation and communication skills in a cross-site or global team environment
