RF Switch ASIC Design Engineer / FES1809

Position Description:This engineer will perform RF/microwave design of Skyworks front end products with an emphasis on RF Switch IC design. The ideal candidate will have direct experience designing RF switches and developing handset front end modules which use these switches. This engineer will design using both internal and external foundry process design kits. Candidate will work closely with systems and Front End Module design engineers, and will interface across functional and departmental boundaries to ensure that product development goals are successfully met.•Simulation and physical layout of switch circuits•LVS, DRC, and parasitic extraction•Test specification definition and documentation. Qualifications:•Must have a solid understanding of critical RF switch performance parameters such as linearity, harmonics, insertion loss, isolation, stability, leakage, and switching-speed.•IC design experience is essential. Design experience within GaAs PHEMT and CMOS is highly desired. •IC layout experience including LVS/DRC is desirable.•Must understand switch control/biasing techniques, and associated performance tradeoffs.•Knowledge of PHEMT fabrication and how this affects the device physics, device model and circuit performance.•Must be adept at performing non-linear RF simulations using tools such as ADS harmonic balance, or Cadence Spectre.•Experience using Momentum, Sonnet, or HFSS is desirable.•Hands-on experience integrating RF switches with power amplifiers and antenna switch modules is highly desired.•Candidate may perform verification testing of their designs. A hands on perspective and understanding of RF test equipment is required.•Candidate must have good organization skills and an ability to work productively both independently and in a team environment.•BSEE required plus 5 years of applicable experience, MSEE preferred.
