Senior RFIC / Mixed-Signal Design Engineer (Transceiver SoC)

About the Group:

The wireless infrastructure product group focuses on the development of integrated transceiver SoCs targeted for wireless base station markets covering 3G/4G/4.5G/AAS technologies. Products based on low-IF, zero-IF and RF sampling architectures are developed by this team. These products comprise high performance RF front-end (wide-band VGA, Synthesizers, mixers, PPA, etc.), analog base-band, high speed converters (DAC, pipelined/Sigma-Delta ADCs), high speed digital front-end, signal processing algorithms, embedded micro-controllers, high speed interfaces, etc. These integrated transceivers support very high bandwidths, requiring high speed GHz data-path processing, and are developed in advanced sub-micron technology nodes, like 28 nm. Power consumption is a critical care about and needs to be addressed through differentiated architectures and designs. We are looking for passionate, creative and self-driven engineers who would challenge traditional techniques and come up with innovative solutions to make a difference.

This team holds 250+ granted patents on these technologies.

• Work with Systems Engineering Team to define and architect new products.
• Design, supervision of layout, and verification of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits
• Interacting with Product Engineering to characterize Silicon and transfer integrated circuits from design to production.
• Work closely with Test Engineering to ensure proper test coverage of the product.
• Interacting with Application Engineering to ensure successful use of products in the market place
