RFIC / MMIC Electronic Design Engineer
Job Description:
In MACOM's Diode Business Line, we design control function
circuits for aerospace and defense, test and measurement, cellular/5G, medical,
space/hi-rel, automotive and other wireless applications. We are looking for an
experienced microwave electrical design engineer. You will:
Be
responsible for the design, layout, test, and release of new control
circuits for microwave and millimeter-wave applications based on Si and
GaAs technologies.
Design
products such as switches, limiters, digital and analog phase shifters,
digital and analog attenuators, detectors, frequency multipliers, mixers,
modulators/demodulators, CMOS drivers & sequencers and multi-function RFICs,
MMICs and Hybrids.
Be
responsible for all design activities and related product development
activities from kickoff through engineering evaluation, and write test and
assembly plans and procedures.
Work
with our package and assembly teams to come up with new and more
cost-effective packaging and assembly methods.
Initiate
prototype builds and manage product characterization. You will design
evaluation boards and characterization fixtures, direct or perform
measurements, and process and present evaluation data against the product
development goals.
Work
with our Product Engineering group to transfer the product to production.
Follow
a formal stage-gate new product introduction process.
Job Requirements:
Degree (BS, MS, or PhD) in Electrical Engineering.
More than 5 years of experience in microwave design of RFIC,
MMIC and/or Hybrid products.
Fluent
with modern microwave simulation tools such as ADS or AWR.
Knowledgeable
in microwave control circuit architectures.
Familiar
with integration and experience designing for high yield and low cost.
Experience
with EM simulations (Momentum, EmPro, HFSS, etc). Thermal simulation
experience is a plus (Ansys or similar).
Understanding
and practical knowledge of working with the Smith Chart for impedance
matching and tuning.
Operation
and calibration of s-parameter and nonlinear measurements using industry
standard test equipment (spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, power meter,
thermal imaging, etc.).
Understanding
of a variety of microwave measurements which include but are not limited
to S-Parameters, IP3/TOI, compression/limiting, harmonics, DC and/or RF
continuous and pulse power, noise figure, switching speed, conversion
loss/gain, etc.
Experience
with the design of microwave evaluation boards including both electrical
and thermal aspects.
Device
or process modeling experience is a plus (ADS, AWR, TCAD, Silvaco, etc).
Familiarity
with AutoCAD or other drawing packages is a plus.
Strong interpersonal skills and ability to build long
lasting partnerships.
