RFIC Design Engineering Manager

We are Silicon Labs. We are a leader in secure, intelligent wireless technology for a more connected world. Our integrated hardware and software platform, intuitive development tools, unmatched ecosystem and robust support make us the ideal long-term partner in building advanced industrial, commercial, home and life applications. We make it easy for developers to solve complex wireless challenges throughout the product lifecycle and get to market quickly with innovative solutions that transform industries, grow economies, and improve lives.The TeamOur team focuses on state of art Bluetooth, ZigBee, Z-wave, Wi-Fi, and multi-protocols products design power amplifiers, LNA, Mixers, PLLs, ADCs, and DACs. Due to product applications, the focus and challenge will be on making these designs with exceptionally low power.Key Responsibilities:Manage an IC design team in the IoT RF IC design groupProvide hands-on technical leadership and training for design staffLead the design team through the product development cycle including feasibility studies, specifications, competitive analysis, technical choices, design, integration, validation, verification, and production testContribute to define design approaches and flow for design teamAttend reviews to help guarantee high quality designs and effective reviewsOversee evaluation of design results by laboratory measurements to assure technical and performance objectives are metCollaborate with worldwide Design, Marketing, Validation and PTE teams throughout the design life cycleRecruit, select, develop, and motivate the best engineers to ensure the efficient operation of the functionFunction as an advisor to the team to meet schedules and resolve technical problemsQualifications:Direct experience designing and bringing into mass production analog circuitsAdvanced understanding of system specification and ability to work with system/application engineers to translate system requirements into circuit requirements at the IC levelAdvanced understanding of design tradeoffs for performance, power and area optimizationPrior experience designing RF blocks such as: LNAs, mixers, PAs, RF frequency synthesizers (PLLs), baseband amplifiers, and data convertersKnowledge of signals, systems, and transformsKnowledge of calibration circuits for compensating process/voltage/temperature variationsSolid experience in silicon characterization and debugProficiency in Cadence Design Environment for Analog, Mixed-Signal and RF designs (Cadence Analog Design Environment, Cadence Virtuoso, SpectreRF, EMX, AFS etc.)Prior Experience in silicon bring-up, lab measurements and characterization using digital, analog and RF test-equipmentMS, MSc in Electrical Engineering and 5 or more years of design experienceAn advanced degree may reduce the minimum experience required3 or more years of experience leading teams or project development in the area of RF or analog IC designExcellent written and verbal communication skills (Fluent English)Scripting in Python, Skill, Ocean, Perl, Unix Shell, etc. is a plusExperience with Matlab or other high-level modeling language/tool for designing and evaluating communication systems and algorithms is a plusWe are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
