About this role
Role Overview
- Create high quality and robust MMIC designs using Gallium Nitride (GaN) or Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) semiconductor technologies.
- Perform circuit design including High Power Amplifiers, Low Noise Amplifiers, Attenuators, Phase Shifters, Switches, Oscillators etc.
- Prepare robust manufacturing data packs and provide technical support to sub-contracts and engineering interface with external foundries.
- Ensure design reviews are planned, executed and completed successfully.
- Conduct RF on wafer and “chip on board” testing of your designs including debugging, and performance verification to ensure the requirements are met.
- Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams – mechanical, systems, test and manufacture
- to ensure seamless integration of your MMIC designs into our larger systems.
- Mentor early career engineers and contribute to technical reviews and design standards.
