Filter Design Engineer

In this position, you will have the unique opportunity to work among a team of expert in RF devices(LNA, RF switches, PA, filters) and technologies (acoustic, SOI, packaging) to develop the next generation of filters and Front-end module for Mobile application. Our highly collaborative and fast-paced work culture empowers engineers to develop innovative design solution with best technologies and achieve best of class module performance through highly sophisticated co-design and integration technique. This open environment offers plenty of opportunities for you to learn, contribute to IP development and work on the continuous improvement of our design tools and methods.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

You will be responsible for the development of BAW and SAW filtering components used in state-of-the-art wireless RF applications.
You will assist technical marketing or project leads in defining new products through feasibility studies and technical competitive analyses.
You will design microwave acoustic devices using a variety of design techniques, including conventional bandpass filters, ladder filters, notch filters, CRF filters, acoustic-assisted filters, etc. It involves the knowledge of circuit simulation, front end radio architecture, communication systems, RF characterization, micro-electronics technology, and fabrication processes.
You will perform acoustic and electromagnetic (EM) simulations using a combination of commercially available tools as well as Qorvo’s state-of-the-art internally developed tools and provide final device layout to support photomask set creation.
You will interact with BAW and SAW process engineers and R&D team, using knowledge of fabrication process variations and capabilities.
You will work with characterization team and test engineers to fully evaluate and diagnostic your device using the latest in RF/Microwave test equipment.
You will support relevant documentation of product and design information to educate others on novel design techniques or provide guidance on product usage and will work with test, application and product engineering teams to transfer new product to production.
You will contribute to the continuous improvement of design flow, method and cycle time.

QUALIFICATIONS:

MSEE with RF focus required. PhD preferred.
Industry or academic experience to include each of the following: RF circuit design (incl. microwave resonator, filter, coupler, antenna, amplifier); EM simulation (HFSS or equivalent); layout design and troubleshooting; impedance matching and tuning; filter component evaluation and integration; RF device characterization and system level measurements.
Direct experience of BAW or SAW design preferred but not necessarily required.
Knowledge of microelectronic fabrication and high-volume manufacturing, statistical analysis and six-sigma method for process improvement.
Programming skills in script language and/or Matlab desired.
General knowledge of wireless protocols and communication standards desired.
