Job Title Analog/RF IC Design Engineer (Irvine)

Post Date 05/07/2013
Company

Division Qualcomm Atheros Inc

Job Area Engineering - Hardware

Location California - Irvine

Job Function Qualcomm-Atheros, a.k.a. QCA http://www.qualcomm.com/qca/ is a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm and a leading provider of wireless and wired technologies for the mobile, networking, computing and consumer electronics markets. Were focused on inventing technologies that connect and empower people in ways that are elegant and accessible to all. Our team is responsible for the complete design lifecycle, from system-level concept to tape out and post-silicon support, of advanced SOC designs in advanced CMOS processes. We work on highly integrated mixed-signal circuits, Giga Hertz radio frequency transceivers and architectures.
Responsibilities Apply your analog/RF integrated circuit design expertise to the development of highly integrated CMOS transceivers for wireless communication systems. Circuits of interest may include power amplifiers, line drivers, low noise amplifiers, transmit and receive mixers, frequency synthesizer, baseband amplifiers and filters, voltage regulators and bandgap circuits, phase-locked loops (PLL's) and delayed-lock loops (DLL's), data converters (DACs/ADCs), and switched-capacitor circuits. The person will be working in Irvine, CA, and is responsible for developing and supporting the analog/RF blocks for Irvine projects.
Skills/Experience This position requires extensive academic background and excellent circuit design skills in the form of a Master's or Doctorate in Electrical Engineering. The position also requires industry experience in both analog transistor-level and digital design in deep sub-micron (65/45nm) CMOS. Although new graduates with highly relevant academic experience will also be considered. Knowledge of highly integrated mixed-signal circuits, RF system and architecture, Cadence, Spice, and Matlab simulations is required. Familiarity with Verilog, VHDL, digital signal processing and ESD protection techniques is a plus. The candidate must be comfortable with performing a wide variety of tasks and enjoy working in a team environment.
Education Requirements Master's or Doctorate in Electrical Engineering is required.
