Job Title
An established international semiconductor technology business is expanding its UK-based RF design team. The company develops high-performance, energy-efficient silicon solutions used in billions of connected devices worldwide, spanning mobile communications, intelligent consumer products, computing, automotive platforms, and data-centre infrastructure.
This is an opportunity to contribute to next-generation cellular technology, working within an experienced global engineering organisation on advanced RF integrated circuits and future 6G products.
The Role
You will take ownership of RF IC sub-systems throughout the complete development cycle—from initial specification and architectural definition through circuit implementation and verification. The position will focus on creating innovative RF signal-path or frequency-synthesis solutions in advanced CMOS processes. A key objective will be to achieve industry-leading performance and robust first-silicon results suitable for volume production.
Key Responsibilities
- Define specifications and architectures for complex RF IC sub-systems.
- Design, implement, and verify RF signal-path or synthesizer circuits.
- Analyse system-level RF requirements in collaboration with systems and applications engineers.
- Optimise circuits for performance, power consumption, integration, and manufacturability.
- Guide and review RF IC layout implementation in advanced CMOS nodes.
- Address the integration challenges associated with complex RF systems-on-chip.
- Support designs through verification, silicon evaluation, and progression towards mass production.
- Collaborate effectively with engineering teams located across different countries and time zones.
