Full Job Description
Overview:

As a Staff Power Amplifier (PA) Design Engineer, you will be involved in the design and development of high-efficiency and high-linearity Cellular Power Amplifiers (PAs) and RF Front-End Modules (FEMs) for next-generation 5G NR and 6G smartphones. You will be responsible for the complete process, from initial PA architecture definition to high-volume manufacturing.

Responsibilities:
  • Design and develop cutting-edge PAs using GaAs HBT technologies to meet the rigorous requirements of 5G NR and 6G, focusing on high linearity, wide modulation bandwidth, high power, and high efficiency.
  • Lead the integration of PA dies into multi-chip modules (MCM) while optimizing for size, cost, and thermal performance.
  • Conduct 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulations using HFSS and circuit-level simulations in ADS to ensure consistency between models and measured performance.
  • Collaborate with filter (SAW/BAW), packaging, and systems engineers to optimize top-level module performance.
  • Document and present results to both internal and external customers.


Required Qualifications:
  • Minimum of a MSEE with at least 3 years of industry experience, or a Ph.D. degree.
  • Strong understanding of RF fundamentals, including S-parameters, impedance matching, stability, and linearity.
  • Extensive experience in RF circuit design using ADS, HFSS, and Cadence.
  • Solid background in RF measurements and characterization.
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent technical communication and presentation skills.


Competitive base salary commensurate with experience: $144,300 - $187,600, relevant for the California Bay Area (subject to change dependent on physical location)

Posted salary ranges are made in good faith. Qorvo reserves the right to adjust ranges depending on the experience/qualification of the selected candidate as well as external competitiveness and internal comparability.

Base compensation is one element of Total Rewards offered at Qorvo. More information on the Total Rewards package can be shared upon request.
