Ottawa, ON, Canada Swiftlink Technologies Inc. Full-time $120,000 - $180,000 Contract

Design integrated circuits for next-generation 5G-and-beyond wireless communications, taking mmWave and analog core blocks from circuit architecture and simulation through layout, tape-out and laboratory characterization.

What you’ll do

  • Perform IC simulations and optimizations within the Cadence, ADS and HFSS design environments
  • Drive design schematic, simulation and mmWave/analog layout methodologies
  • Apply advanced circuit architectures to core blocks — LNAs, mixers, phase shifters, power amplifiers, drivers and VGAs
  • Engage in hands-on IC laboratory testing and characterization
  • Work with cross-functional teams and interface directly with customers on performance requirements

What we’re looking for

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electromagnetics or a related field (PhD preferred); 3–5 years of industrial RFIC/mmWave design experience preferred
  • Proven history of successful tape-outs or exceptional mmWave performance
  • Recent RFIC design experience in RFSOI/CMOS technologies, covering RF switches, PAs, LNAs, attenuators, phase shifters and power combining
  • Knowledge of phased-array transceiver architectures and beamforming techniques
  • Proficiency with Cadence Virtuoso, ADS, H-SPICE, Laker ADP and Verilog/Verilog HDL, plus EM simulation in HFSS, Sonnet, CST or WIPL-D
  • Hands-on RF/mmWave IC laboratory test equipment experience, and fluent written and verbal English
