  • Support all stages of product development, from concept to mass production.

 

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or an equivalent field.
  • 12 years of industry experience or a combination of equivalent post-graduate academic experience (Master's or Ph.D.).
  • Strong knowledge of power amplifiers, including modes of operation, matching, bias, and architectural considerations.
  • Experience with IC tape-outs in Silicon, GaAs HBT, GaN, or other relevant semiconductor technologies.
  • Proficiency in electromagnetic (EM) knowledge, including passive components like couplers, baluns, and matching networks.
  • Expertise with Keysight ADS, Cadence, and associated simulation engines and data displays.
  • Familiarity with EM simulators such as Momentum, HFSS, and EMX.
  • Comfort with modern scripting or coding languages is a plus.
  • Good understanding of RF systems and familiarity with wireless standards, including 3GPP cellular (2G/3G/4G/5G/6G), 802.11 WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, and more.
  • Experience in FEM product development and customer interaction.

 

Qualifications:

  • Positive attitude and a desire to learn and grow your skill set.
  • Strong communication, organization, and documentation skills.
  • Ability to execute and take ownership of project tasks with minimal supervision.
  • Team player with leadership skills and a focus on product requirements and schedules.
  • Interest in mentoring and developing junior talent.
