RFIC Design Engineer Javelin Semiconductor
Description
Detailed design of RF circuits, including transistor-level and passive/distributed circuit design. Custom layout of these high performance RF circuits is required. Must be able to plan and execute design, layout and evaluation tasks. Test, evaluation and debugging of prototype ICs and design support for mass production is required. Design activity will include the interface to other RFICs, such as communications transceivers.
Education
