In short

Qualcomm's RF EM Team is seeking experienced engineers to design, simulate, and model passive RF components for advanced RFIC designs. Responsibilities include component development, isolation analysis, and multi-chip carrier optimization, requiring expertise in EM simulation tools and circuit design.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop RF passive components for next-generation highly integrated RF integrated circuits in deep sub-micron CMOS and SOI technologies.
  • Work with the circuit design team to optimize component sizes and performance for RF circuit blocks.
  • Deliver components including compact models and DRC clean physical designs.
  • Execute isolation analysis and optimization to reduce on-chip and chip-package-PCB coupling.
  • Optimize multichip carriers for RF systems, focusing on loss and isolation.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • 4+ years RF and electromagnetic design, verification, or related work experience.
  • Experience in the design and simulation of RF passive components such as inductors, transformers, MOM capacitors and passive filters.
  • Demonstrated abilities with EM simulation techniques and tool including EM solvers (EMX, Helic, Peakview, HFSS, Clarity, etc).
  • Experience with circuit design and layout using Cadence tools and Keysight ADS.
  • Compact RLCK Model extraction of multiport passive components.
  • Ability to use EM tools to predict circuit level electric and magnetic coupling.
  • Passionate self-starter and team player with experience in project leadership and multi-tasking.

Desired Qualifications

  • Master's degree or PhD in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field with relevant years of experience.
  • Experience in the design and simulation of RF passive components such as inductors, transformers, MOM capacitors and passive filters.
  • Demonstrated abilities with EM simulation techniques and tool including EM solvers (EMX, Helic, Peakview, HFSS, Clarity, etc).
  • Experience with circuit design and layout using Cadence tools and Keysight ADS.
  • Compact RLCK Model extraction of multiport passive components.
  • Ability to use EM tools to predict circuit level electric and magnetic coupling.
  • Passionate self-starter and team player with experience in project leadership and multi-tasking.

Benefits

  • Competitive annual discretionary bonus program.
  • Opportunity for annual RSU grants.
  • Highly competitive benefits package designed to support success at work, at home, and at play.
  • Qualcomm is committed to providing an accessible process for individuals with disabilities.
  • Qualcomm is an equal opportunity employer; all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, Veteran status, or any other protected classification.
