Job Description:
In MACOM's MMIC Business Unit, we design MMICs for cellular, aerospace and defense, and other wireless applications. We are looking for an experienced microwave power amplifier design engineer. You will:
- Be responsible for the design, layout, test, and release of new high efficiency MMICs for microwave and millimeter wave applications based on GaN and GaAs technologies.
- MMIC products may include power amplifiers, distributed amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, attenuators, switches or multifunction MMICs.
- Set up and run EM simulations using process PDKs. Modify EM substrate, ports, and other EM setup conditions to backfit simulations to measurement data.
- Be responsible for all design activities and related product development activities from kickoff through engineering evaluation.
- Work with our package and assembly teams to come up with new and more cost-effective packaging and assembly methods.
- Initiate prototype builds and manage product characterization. You will design evaluation boards and characterization fixtures, then direct or perform measurements. Evaluation data is processed and presented against the product development goals.
- Provide clear status reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing DC and RF test data.
- Work with our Product Engineering group to transfer the product to production.
Job Requirements: Besides your technical skill set, it is very important to us that you bring the right attitude. You are highly motivated and result oriented. You are the one who makes it work and goes the extra mile. You have a pragmatic approach to solving complex technical problems. You are detail oriented. You are an entrepreneur who wants to work in a company that is going to develop challenging and innovative products. You work well in a tight team atmosphere together with our product engineering, quality, applications, and engineering test teams.
- Degree (BSc, MS, or PhD) in Electrical Engineering.
- More than 15 years of experience in microwave or millimeter wave MMIC design.
- Fluent with modern simulation tools such as ADS.
- Knowledgeable in high efficiency power amplifier architectures.
- Familiar with MMIC integration and experience designing for high yield and low cost.
- Extensive experience with EM simulations.
- Experience with thermal simulation tools
- Operation and calibration of a s-parameter, and nonlinear measurements using industry standard test equipment (spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, power meter, etc.).
- Experience with the design of microwave evaluation boards including both electrical and thermal aspects.
- Device modeling experience is a plus.
- Strong interpersonal skills and ability to build long lasting partnerships.
- Fluency in spoken and written English.
- Fluent with Microsoft Office products.
- The position is full time (40h).
- Due to ITAR regulations, only candidates who are U.S. Persons (U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, lawful permanent residents, or individuals granted asylum or refugee status) will be considered for this position.
