Sr RF Filter Design Engineer

Responsibilities

• Develop BAW and SAW filtering components for state-of-the-art wireless RF applications.
• Assist technical marketing and project leads in defining new products through feasibility studies and technical competitive analyses.
• Design microwave acoustic devices using various design techniques such as bandpass filters, ladder filters, notch filters, CRF filters, acoustic-assisted filters, etc.
• Perform acoustic and electromagnetic (EM) simulations using commercially available tools and Qorvo’s state-of-the-art internally developed tools.
• Provide final device layout to support photomask set creation.
• Interact with BAW and SAW process engineers and R&D team to utilize knowledge of fabrication process variations and capabilities.
• Work with characterization team and test engineers to fully evaluate and diagnose devices using the latest RF/Microwave test equipment.
• Support documentation of product and design information to educate others on novel design techniques or provide guidance on product usage.
• Collaborate with test, application, and product engineering teams to transfer new products to production.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of design flow, methods, and cycle time.

Qualifications

• BSEE with 5 years of experience; MSEE with 2-3 years of experience or PhD.
• Industry or academic experience to include RF circuit design (including microwave resonator, filter, coupler, antenna, amplifier); EM simulation (HFSS or equivalent); layout design and troubleshooting; impedance matching and tuning; filter component evaluation and integration; RF device characterization and system level measurements.
• Direct experience of BAW or SAW design preferred but not necessary.
• Knowledge of microelectronic fabrication and high-volume manufacturing, statistical analysis, and six-sigma method for process improvement.
• Knowledge of circuit simulation, front end radio architecture, communication systems, RF characterization, micro-electronics technology, and fabrication processes.
• Programming skills in script language and/or Matlab desired.
• General knowledge of wireless protocols and communication standards desired.
