SR MMIC Design Engineer

Job Description

Sr. MMIC Design Engineer 5 to 10 years experience We are seeking a motivated, proactive, and intellectually curious MMIC Design Engineer who will work alongside world-class cross-disciplinary teams (systems, firmware, architecture, design, validation, product engineering). In this role, you will be developing cutting-edge next-generation MMICs for deployment in space and ground infrastructures around the globe. Responsibilities: Derive hardware specifications for the RF system and MMIC blocks Develop MMIC products from initial specification to mass production and ensure full compatibility in all aspects of implementation in the system. Simulate/model MMIC front end circuits (power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, switches) at the circuit level and electromagnetic level, working with system architects, modem/DSP and ASIC engineers to partition functions between hardware and software domains Determine how to package and implement MMIC's, and work with RF engineers and PCB designers to develop packages and/or modules Evaluate, characterize, and analyse full performance of MMIC prototypes Assist in the development of automated test equipment for lab measurements Work with manufacturing engineers on production testing of MMIC components and RF systems Mentor junior engineers by reviewing designs, sharing best practices, and guiding them through MMIC design, simulation, and validation processes. Basic Qualifications: Master's/ bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline 5+ years of research and/or industry experience in RF/microwave circuit design Experience with GaAs and/or GaN MMIC design of linear and non-linear circuits such as power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, mixers, filters and PLLs, including full circuit design and layout Preferred Skills and Experience: Master's degree or PhD in an engineering discipline with emphasis in MMIC design, RF/microwave circuits, and/or electromagnetic theory Deep understanding of theory and MMIC design of RF front end blocks, from S-band to E-band frequency ranges RF/microwave design tool experience using ADS, HFSS, AWR or similar RF/microwave design in the Ku, Ka, V and E-band frequency range Familiar with radio related test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector signal generator, network analyzers, load pull and probe stations at millimetre wave frequencies. Knowledge of digital communication systems, spread spectrum, single and multi-carrier techniques and modulation types such as QPSK, APSK and QAM Understanding of electromagnetic propagation and antenna systems Soft skills: Good communication skills Be able to clearly communicate Be able to perform clear written documentation of tests and experiments on computer Proactive team player, Ability to take up ownership and finish activities, Fast learner, adaptive, good problem-solving skills Ability to work long hours and weekends as necessary to support critical milestones?
