RFIC Design Engineer

You will provide RFIC designs for wireless SoC and drive them to mass production for Apple’s Wireless Connectivity products.

• Hands-on design contributions, from concept, architecture, and topology to transistor-level feasibility studies, power, area and performance trade-off analysis to actual design, simulations, and extractions.
• Design and deliver radio transceiver building blocks and chains, including TX, RX, and PLL-LOGen for wireless connectivity products.
• Work closely with RF Systems on block-level and high-level specifications of the TX RX line-ups and PLL-LOGen and on the accurate distribution of spec margins in the chain.
• Design of RF and Analog loopbacks for calibration and compensation.
• Work through Co-Existence scenarios and design to meet the CoEx requirements.
• Collaborate closely with RFIC test engineers in the setup, debugging, and optimization of the wireless connectivity chip throughout productization.
• Provide design versus silicon measurements correlation and compliance with specifications for volume production.

• BS and 3 + years of relevant industry experience.
• Understanding of analog design concepts such as noise analysis, linearity, mismatch, stability, and other analog impairments.
• Experienced in Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre RF, Matlab, EM simulation (EMX, HFSS), and similar tools.
• RF/analog and mixed-signal design experience in ground-breaking RF CMOS design.
• Deep understanding of analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuit design.
• Experienced in Silicon characterization and debugging.
