This job description is available in the following languages:
Join us in shaping the future of the next generation of NR+ microchips. We’re looking for experienced RF IC designers to join our RF and analog/mixed-signal team and help us develop state-of-the-art systems—and beyond—based on FD-SOI technology. If you want to design cutting-edge circuits and contribute to a new class of wireless communication, you’ve come to the right place.
Your Responsibilities
-
You will develop RF integrated circuits for wireless communication systems using deep-submicron CMOS technology.
-
Performing top-level simulations to validate and optimize design concepts.
-
Work closely with the layout team and perform high-level simulations to verify and refine the designs.
-
Deriving block-level specifications for analog and digital components.
-
Performing pre-tapeout verifications, including performance, power, reliability, and timing analyses.
-
You will define production and laboratory test plans for characterization following silicon fabrication.
-
Support the lab team in performing RF measurements for IP validation.
-
You will analyze ATE and lab test results, identify yield issues, and implement appropriate corrective actions.
-
You will work closely with the system team on integration, troubleshooting, and design optimization.
-
You will present your results in design reviews and demonstrate compliance with specifications.
Your Profile
-
Several years of professional experience in RF or analog IC design in the industry.
-
Experience with modern CMOS process technologies, ideally with 22FDX.
-
Experience across the entire RFIC product development cycle, from the concept phase through to mass production.
-
In-depth knowledge and tape-out experience with at least one of the following functional blocks:
-
PA, LNA, mixers, oscillators, PLL, LO, VGA.
-
-
Very good knowledge of analog design concepts such as noise analysis, linearity, mismatch, and stability.
-
Experience in RF component modeling, including noise parameters, inductance modeling, package effects, power decoupling, RF ESD structures, and RF-optimized layout.
-
Familiarity with various RF transceiver architectures and calibration methods.
-
Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre RF, EMX, or comparable tools.
-
Practical experience in silicon characterization, debugging, and translating system specifications into concrete circuit requirements.
