Description
About the Role
We are seeking a Principal RF and Analog Design Engineer to design, integrate, and characterize high‑performance RF and analog circuits for next‑generation products. This role requires deep hands‑on expertise, strong system‑level understanding, and the ability to technically lead complex mixed‑signal designs from concept through silicon qualification and production.
You will work closely with digital, layout, validation, firmware, and product teams to deliver robust, manufacturable solutions for demanding RF and analog applications
Responsibilities
RF & Analog Design
Architect, design, and simulate RF and analog circuit blocks, including:
LNAs, mixers, VCOs/PLLs
Data converters (ADCs/DACs)
Bias generation, bandgap references, LDOs
Baseband amplifiers and filters
Translate system‑level requirements (noise, gain, linearity, power, phase noise) into robust circuit implementations
Perform detailed schematic design, simulation, and optimization across PVT corners
System & Architecture Contribution
Collaborate with system architects to define RF signal chains and analog subsystems
Drive tradeoff analysis between performance, power, area, and cost
Support RF budgeting (NF, IP3, phase noise, jitter, spur analysis)
Silicon Implementation & Signoff
Work closely with layout engineers on:
Floor planning
Sensitive routing and matching
EM, IR, and substrate coupling considerations
Own or support block‑level and top‑level signoff:
AC/DC performance
Noise and linearity
Stability and yield margin
Validation & Debug
Lead silicon bring‑up, lab characterization, and debug
Correlate measurement results with simulation
Identify root causes and drive fixes for silicon issues
Support yield improvement and production ramp
Technical Leadership
Define best practices for RF/analog design and verification
Mentor Junior engineers and help refine circuits and architectures
Influence roadmap and architectural decisions
Serve as a technical point of contact across cross‑functional teams
Required Experience And Skills
Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field
Typically 10+ years of hands‑on RF and/or analog IC design experience
Proven track record of tape‑out ownership and silicon success
Strong understanding of:
RF fundamentals (noise, linearity, matching, phase noise)
Analog circuit design techniques
CMOS/BiCMOS device physics
Experience with industry tools:
Cadence Virtuoso, SpectreRF, ADS, EMX or equivalent
Comfortable working across process nodes and foundries
Desired Experience And Skills
Strong DSP fundamentals
Mixed‑signal integration experience (RF + digital SoC)
High‑speed or precision analog experience
Familiarity with packaging, test, and manufacturing constraints
Experience supporting volume production
Soft Skills & Mindset
Strong problem‑solving and debugging skills
Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly
Ownership mindset with attention to detail
Comfortable influencing without formal authority
Collaborative and pragmatic approach to engineering tradeoffs
Referral Bonus Program Reward (if eligible): Rs200,000.00
