RF IC Technology Integration Engineer

Technology Pathfinding And Integration Engineer

Technology pathfinding and integration engineer supporting multiple RF IC technologies for cellular RF front-end module development. Part of a global team that supports RF semiconductor technology development and design access for RF front end applications. Collaborates with external foundry R&D teams on technology development roadmaps and new technology qualification. Supports internal design, modeling, and quality teams to define and execute technology qualification and insertion plans. Provides ongoing applications support for design and package integration.

The successful candidate will have wide-ranging hands-on experience in RF semiconductor device fabrication and operation, wafer foundry process control, MMIC process integration, new technology qualification, process design kit (PDK) development, RF circuit design and modeling, and RF test development and execution. Has experience with design of experiments, parametric/yield data analysis, and can drive new developments and existing technology improvements at external foundries. Is familiar with RF circuit design and applications of RF semiconductor devices. Is capable of facilitating clear communication with external partners and internal stakeholders. Can perform risk assessment and manage risk mitigation activities for multiple projects in parallel. Is capable of independent project management from concept/planning phase through execution of transfer to high-volume manufacturing. Will typically possess a graduate degree in electrical engineering and have multiple years of experience in the field.
