Rf/Analog Ic Designer

Ripple Technology is working on WiFi 6/7 AP SOC and looking to bring on a RF/Analog IC Designer to join our team in the Bay Area.

• Perform RF/analog and digital layout integration.
• Write test plans, perform design verification, and ATE production support.
• Design Analog blocks, such as Bandgap, POR, LDO, DC-DC converter, Low power clock, power detector, ESD, test mux, etc.
• Work with the team to define the block specs, doing link budget analysis, noise, linearity, phase noise, SNR, and EVM optimization.
• Guide layout engineer to do the layout, and able to do the critical layout individually with DRC/LVS/xRC.
• Design radio transceiver blocks, such as PA, LNA, mixer, TIA, LPF, VGA, ADC/DAC, etc.
• Perform mix signal verification using AMS, Verilog, and system Verilog.
• Design LO blocks, such as crystal oscillator, RF synthesizer, LO distribution network.
• Work with the team on RC calibration, VCO calibration, IQ calibration, DC offset calibration, DPD, etc.

Qualification:

• Familiar with Cadence design tools for simulation and layout.
• Masters or Ph.D. in electrical engineering.
• Familiar with CMOS or SOI on deep submicron or FinFet technology to design circuits.
• Familiar with chip verification in the lab, using the network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, LitePoint, signal analyzer, etc.
• Typically requires 5+ years of RF/Analog and mixed-signal design experience.
• Familiar with wireless communication theory
• Familiar with Link budget analysis, noise linearity, and phase noise analysis.
• Good documentation and communication skills.
• Familiar with EM simulation using EMX/HFSS/ADS.
• Experience in WiFi, BLE, or cellular chip design.
• Using Verilog, system Verilog, Python, Matlab, and C, etc.
