Skills
Job Description
Are you passionate about designing cutting-edge RF integrated circuits for next-generation wireless systems? At Falcomm, we are transforming innovative semiconductor research into real-world solutions through high-performance, energy-efficient RF power amplifier technologies. Our mission is to enable faster, more efficient wireless communication by pushing the boundaries of RF semiconductor design.
Falcomm is seeking RFIC/MMIC Designers to develop high-frequency circuit blocks used in advanced RF front-end systems. This role will focus on the design and optimization of RF and mmWave circuits including mixers, low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), power amplifiers (PAs), switches, and voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). The position requires close collaboration with system architects, layout engineers, packaging teams, and test engineers to deliver high-performance semiconductor solutions from concept through silicon validation.
Responsibilities:
Design and develop RF and mmWave circuit blocks for wireless applications using technologies such as GaN, SOI, and SiGe. Relevant circuit blocks would include LNAs, PAs, switches, mixers, and VCOs.
Evaluate design trade-offs across performance, power consumption, and chip area.
Collaborate effectively with colleagues at all levels within the organization, demonstrating problem-solving skills, data analysis, and critical thinking.
Present detailed design reviews covering IC, package, electromagnetic (EM), simulation results, measurement data, and thermal considerations; all related to continuous improvement of RF design processes.
Support all stages of product development, from concept to mass production.
Bachelors, Masters, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
3+ years of experience in RF or mmWave circuit design up to 60GHz.
IC tapeout experience using SOI, SiGe, or GaN technologies.
Strong understanding of RF circuit theory and semiconductor device behavior.
Strong circuit design skills, and experience performing analysis and simulation of both linear and non-linear circuits for RF circuit blocks to meet performance targets such as gain, noise figure, linearity, power, and bandwidth.
Strong EM knowledge with including experience with passive components including couplers, baluns, and matching networks.
Proficiency in simulation and design tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Keysight ADS, Keysight SystemVue, Siemens Calibre, etc.
Experience with EM simulators such as HFSS, Momentum, and EMX.
Must be willing to work full-time, onsite, in Atlanta, GA.
Preferred Skills:
Understanding of RF front-end architectures used in wireless communication systems.
Experience supporting silicon validation and RF measurement.
Competitive Salary and Equity Package
Comprehensive Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
401(k) Retirement Plan
Paid Time Off (PTO) and Sick Leave
