The Centre for Integrated Circuits and Systems (CICS) at the School of EEE is a globally recognized IC research hub with advanced EDA tools and measurement facilities. It provides access to industry-standard platforms (e.g., Cadence, Synopsys, Ansys) supporting CMOS to III-V technologies, including radiation effect simulations. CICS features world-class RF/mm-wave testing tools, such as a 12” probe station for on-wafer measurements up to 325 GHz, and supports research in analog/mixed-signal, RF/mm-wave, biomedical, power management, and emerging devices.

We are hiring a Research Associate/Research Fellow in RFIC design to develop advanced radio frequency integrated circuits for next-generation wireless communication systems. The Research Associate/Research Fellow is also expected to support teaching activities as required by the school.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct research and development of advanced RF integrated circuits (RFICs) for next-generation wireless communication systems, including 5G/6G and IoT applications.
• Design, simulate, and layout of RF/mm-wave circuits such as LNAs, mixers, VCOs, PAs, and transceivers using industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence, Keysight ADS).
• Perform post-layout verification, chip tape-out, and collaborate with foundries for fabrication.
• Carry out measurement, characterization, and debugging of fabricated ICs using test equipment.
• Prepare technical reports, publish research findings in high-impact journals/conferences, and contribute to project proposals and grant applications.
• Prepare report and conduct presentation at seminars.
• Assist the school in various teaching activities, including instructing or supervision of labs and tutorials.

Job Requirements:

• MSc/MEng (Research Associate) or PhD (Research Fellow) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering or other related fields.
• Expertise in RFIC design, including circuit modeling, simulation, and layout design techniques.
• Proficiency with using relevant tools such as ADS, HFSS, Cadence and Matlab etc.
• Familiarity with RF/mm-wave transceiver architectures and components (low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), power amplifiers (PAs), mixers, oscillators etc)
• Experience in designing analog and mixed-signal circuits for RF applications.
• Knowledgeable in python programming, AI/ML techniques for optimizing RFIC design and system performance would be an added advantage.
• Able to work independently and possesses strong research skills.
• Excellent verbal communication and technical writing skills
