MmWave IC Design Engineer - TeraWave

• Relocation provided
• Travel expected up to 10% of the time
• Interviews will include a technical assessment
• This role will be based onsite in San Diego, CA;
  Cupertino, CA; or Renton, WA. A temporary remote work exception is approved while our San Diego site is being developed.

• Design state-of-the-art RF/mmWave front-end chipsets, including power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, phase shifters, variable-gain amplifiers, mixers, multipliers, and synthesizers.
• Partner with RF system engineers to run feasibility studies and architect RF/mmWave transmitter and receiver front-ends, translating system-level requirements into chip-level specifications.
• Design and simulate on-chip electromagnetic (EM) structures and collaborate with the package engineering team on co-optimization of IC/package interfaces.
• Supervise chip-level front-end integration and optimization throughout the development lifecycle and ensure successful production
• Work with third-party design partners

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, or related technical discipline
• 7+ years of experience in millimeter-wave/RFIC design using SiGe, CMOS, and SOI technologies, with successful completion of multiple product life cycles for high-volume chipsets.
• Strong experience with various circuit topologies for amplifiers, mixers, switches, and synthesizers, specifically at mmWave frequencies with fully integrated on-chip implementations.
• Proven expertise in the analysis and optimization of transmitter and receiver front-ends for complex modulated waveforms, including practical modeling and circuit simulations of TX/RX chains with time-sampled waveforms.
• Hands-on experience in mmWave IC characterization and debugging.
• Experience with analog building blocks such as operational amplifiers, bias generators, temperature sensors, LDOs, and ADC/DAC implementations.
• Proficiency in EM simulations for both on-chip and package components.
• Prior experience with top-level integration, including ESD, mixed-signal/mixed-mode verification, and DFM concepts.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

• Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Experience with beamforming front-ends and phased array implementations.
• Experience in high-performance IC development using III-V technologies (e.g., GaAs, GaN).
• Strategic mindset and strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across functions and drive complex projects to completion.
• Experience mentoring early-career engineers.
