We are looking for a Staff MMIC designer responsible for the development of innovative, leading-edge GaN and GaAs-based RF/Microwave products. This will involve design and development of MMIC-based RF/Microwave products using advanced GaN and/or GaAs technologies. You will be a key member of an integrated product development team that includes marketing, program management, mechanical engineering, product engineering, package engineering, test engineering, applications engineering, manufacturing, operations, quality and reliability, and senior management. Key Roles & Responsibilities: - Technical lead role for MMIC based product development. - MMIC design using linear and nonlinear models and 2.5D and 3D electromagnetic simulators. - Integrate MMIC(s) into single or multichip modules. - Manage product checkout, optimization, and design verification testing (DVT) in the Microwave Lab. - Execute DVT analysis and present results to the internal and/or external customer. - Support product through critical lifecycle stages including concept/feasibility, development, qualification, and production. - Publish novel design work internally or externally (IMS, BCICTS, GOMAC, etc.) to promote Qorvo's technology and design capabilities. Submit invention disclosures for potential patents where applicable. Required Technical Skills and Experience: - Recent and relevant experience designing RFIC and/or MMIC amplifiers, switches, phase shifters, attenuators, time-delay units (TDUs), hybrid multichip modules, or transmit/receive front-end modules (FEMs). - Experience in advanced III-V compound semiconductor technologies, specifically GaN and GaAs. - Understanding of FET behavioral characteristics is desired. - User of either ADS or Microwave Office (MWO) nonlinear simulators; and one or more of the following 2.5D or 3D EM simulation tools: SONNET, Axiem, Momentum, or HFSS. - Understanding microwave measurements and calibration methods: S-parameters, power, efficiency, source/load pull, noise figure, linearity, and intermodulation distortion. - Strong written and oral communication skills with the ability to concisely summarize highly technical concepts. Desired Experiences: - Design of high-performance millimeter wave GaAs or GaN MMIC power amplifiers with simultaneous power, bandwidth, efficiency, and linearity requirements. - SiGe and/or CMOS-based RFIC/MMIC, analog, and mixed signal design experience is a plus. - Published author in technical journals and/or magazines. - Strong ability to meet customer technical needs and schedules. Required Education & Experience: - BS Electrical Engineering with 8 or more years of experience - MS Electrical Engineering with 6 or more years of experience - PhD Electrical Engineering (with RF/Microwave focus) with 2 or more years of experience This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship by the Company. This position requires work on US Government contracts. Applicants must be a US Person (US citizen, permanent resident, asylee or refugee). #LI-KR1
