RFIC Design Engineer

Position: RF / Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer

Location: North San Diego, CA

Employment Type: Full-Time

Overview

We are seeking talented RF and Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineers at multiple experience levels to join a growing semiconductor team focused on advanced connectivity and communication technologies. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to the development of high-performance integrated circuits used in next-generation networking, wireless, and data infrastructure systems.

Our organization develops radio frequency (RF), analog, digital, and mixed-signal semiconductor solutions that enable high-speed communication across a broad range of applications, including data center interconnects, broadband access systems, wireless infrastructure, and industrial connectivity platforms.

Recent development programs include:

• Advanced low-power DSP-based System-on-Chip solutions for high-speed electrical and optical interconnect applications
• Integrated radio and baseband platforms supporting modern wireless network architectures
• Next-generation wireless connectivity chipsets designed for emerging high-throughput standards
• High-performance data processing and acceleration technologies for enterprise and large-scale computing environments

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to define architecture, design, implement, and validate RF and mixed-signal systems for high-speed communication and networking applications
• Architect, design, simulate, and verify RF and mixed-signal circuit blocks for high-speed transceiver and communication systems
• Design and develop critical circuit components such as:
• Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs)
• Voltage-Controlled Oscillators (VCOs)
• Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs)
• Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs)
• High-speed serializer/deserializer (SerDes) and transceiver subsystems
• Support silicon bring-up, debugging, characterization, and product ramp to production
• Work closely with system, layout, verification, and product engineering teams throughout the product lifecycle

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field with 5+ years of relevant experience
• OR Master’s degree with 3+ years of experience
• OR Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• Strong background in RF and/or mixed-signal IC design
• Experience with high-speed communication interfaces, SerDes, or optical networking systems is highly desirable
• Familiarity with silicon validation and production support processes is a plus
