Job Description

We are looking for a highly motivated IC Design and Verification Engineer to contribute to Diversity Receive (DRX) designs. This is a staff level position and you will work with

other analog/RF IC and module designers for simulation and making measurement of IC RF switch design and verification using Cadence tools. You will be joining a team of 9 people, focused on RF front ends. Day to day responsibilities include working on project you are assigned, collaborating with assigned team, running simulations, running designs and creating layout. You will be expected to collaborate with multiple production teams. Someone with heavy switch design experience should be able to explain their involvement working on something like SP2T, SP3T, SP6T, DPDT etc and have used SOI process before as a technology. We are looking for someone who DESIGNED, not just implemented.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters.
