  • Knowledge and understanding of laminate, wire bonding, WLCSP techniques, SMT components and multi-die FEM considerations.
  • Experiences with thermal design consideration for RF front-end modules
  • Strong lab skills for characterization, optimization, and debugging.
  • Ability to execute project tasks with minimal supervision
  • Solid Oral and written communication skills.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead PA IC development, understanding system requirements for performance trade-offs
  • Work with cross-functional teams for product development
  • Perform feasibility analysis/simulation for new product development.

  • Design/simulate fully integrated power amplifier ICs, considering package effects.
  • Lead and collaborate with other team members to characterize, optimize, debug, and backfit the designs.
  • Manage design trade-offs on performance, risk, yield, testability, and cost.
  • Support hardware validations and analyze measurement data for performance enhancements.
  • Develop and present design review and technical presentations to the technical community and product development teams.
