- Work with circuit design teams to optimize component sizes and performance for on-chip RF circuit blocks.
- Deliver components with compact models and DRC clean physical designs.
- Execute isolation analysis and optimization to reduce on-chip and chip-to-package coupling.
- Optimize multichip carriers for RF systems, focusing on loss and isolation.
- Participate in RF package, module, and PCB modeling to optimize overall system performance.
Requirements
- Experience in the design and simulation of RF passive components (inductors, transformers, MOM/MIM capacitors, passive filters).
- Demonstrated abilities with EM simulation techniques and tools including MoM EM solvers and HFSS.
- Experience with circuit design and layout using Cadence tools and Agilent ADS.
- Compact RLCK Model extraction of multiport passive components.
- Ability to use EM tools to predict circuit level electric and magnetic coupling.
- Understanding of chip fabrication process and design understanding.
- Knowledge of Electromagnetic theory, microwave theory, and design.
- Knowledge of antenna design and understanding of radiation and propagation waves.
- Good understanding of SI and PI at chip, package, and PCB level.
- Basic RF system understanding.
- Understanding of noise propagation mechanism in chip, package, and PCB.
- Proficiency in tools: Ansys Suit (HFSS, Q3D, SiWave, Layout), Lorentz, Helic, EMX, Cadence virtuoso, Allegro or similar for Package/Module layout, Expedition (or similar) for PCB layout and schematic, VRF.
- Passionate self-starter and team player with experience in project leadership and multi-tasking.
Desired Qualifications
- Knowledge of PCB level Power Distribution Network (PDN) and RF transmission line layout and analysis is an asset.
- Working experience and knowledge of Power Amplifier (PA) and Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) matching is an advantage.
- Basic understanding of patch antenna design parameters and matching is also desired.
