• Experience in Cadence Virtuoso, SpectreRF, Keysight ADS, and various EM simulation (EMX, Momentum, FEM, HFSS) tools.
• Hands-on experience with RF/microwave test equipment such as network analyzer, probe station, source/load pull system, noise figure measurements, and/or signal sources/analyzers that deal with modulated signals.
• Strong teamwork, communication, organization, and documentation skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment to meet customer needs and schedules.
• Detail oriented to ensure delivery of high yielding designs with good margin to specifications.

Desired Qualifications:

• 15+ years of experience with M.S. or Ph.D. degrees is preferred.
• Familiarity with RF transceiver and front-end architectures, and their trade-offs and system specifications is a plus.
• End-to-end analog/RFIC development experience from definition to productization is preferred.
• Solid knowledge of device physics over PVT and frequency.
• Knowledge of data analysis and programming tools such as MATLAB, JMP, Spotfire, and ADS AEL is a plus.
