Staff RF IC Design Engineer | 6G Cellular / CMOS | Cambridge
A leading global fabless semiconductor giant—powering over 2 billion connected devices annually—is expanding its highly experienced global RF team. Known for pushing the limits in AI, 5G/6G, and Wi-Fi 8, this industry leader is seeking a Staff RF IC Design Engineer to join its UK RF Design Centre.
In this role, you will work on state-of-the-art 6G cellular RF products using advanced CMOS processes. You will take ownership of the specification, architecture design, circuit design, implementation, and verification of complete sub-systems, focusing on innovative signal path or synthesizer designs that deliver first-silicon success.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the specification, architecture, and circuit design of complete sub-systems for next-generation 6G RF ICs.
- Drive innovative signal path or synthesizer designs to achieve leading-edge performance.
- Collaborate closely with RF System and Application Engineers to define specifications and overcome complex integration challenges for RF SoCs.
- Oversee and supervise layout implementation, ensuring optimal RF IC layout performance in advanced nodes.
- Perform EM simulations, RF system analysis, and data analysis to validate and refine designs.
