**Summary**
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior MMIC Designer to develop state-of-the-art GaN and GaAs MMICs for high-power amplifiers, hybrid modules, and advanced RF/microwave subsystems.
This role will also involve the integration of MMICs into modules and the enhancement of the company's hybrid RF/microwave designs. The Senior MMIC Designer will play a critical role in leading designs from concept through production, contributing to the product roadmap, mentoring junior designers, and collaborating closely with customers, marketing, program management, manufacturing, and senior leadership. Candidates must demonstrate deep technical expertise, a strong foundation in RF/microwave circuit design, and a passion for innovation. This role also requires building and establishing the fundamental building blocks and design methodologies necessary for MMIC product development while consistently meeting aggressive time-to-market schedules.
**Responsibilities**
+ Perform detailed design, simulation, layout, and validation of advanced GaN and GaAs MMIC products, with a focus on high-power amplifiers operating at RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave frequencies.
+ Define MMIC specifications based on system-level customer requirements and trade-off analyses.
+ Utilize industry-standard simulation tools (ADS, Cadence AWR, HFSS, Sonnet, AXIEM) for linear, nonlinear, and electromagnetic analysis.
+ Support laboratory validation, including S-parameters, output power, efficiency, load-pull, noise figure, and linearity measurements.
+ Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior designers and engineering teams.
+ Collaborate with cross-functional teams (program management, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, sales, quality, and leadership) throughout the product development cycle.
+ Assist in proposal efforts, system architecture studies, and internal R&D planning activities.
+ Ensure timely project execution while contributing to continuous process improvements and the advancement of design best practices.
+ Document design activities, development processes, and design reviews in accordance with company and industry standards.
**Requirements:**
+ BSEE with 18+ years or MSEE with 15+ years of experience in RF/MMIC design.
+ Strong theoretical background in RF/microwave distributed-element circuits and transmission lines.
+ Proven track record of successful MMIC product releases to production, preferably for high-frequency and/or high-power applications (X-band, K-band, Ka-band, mmWave preferred).
+ Expertise in electromagnetic simulation techniques.
+ Familiarity with small-signal and large-signal models of GaAs HEMTs and GaN-on-SiC HEMTs.
+ Experience with PCB and hybrid module design, including MMIC and hybrid circuit integration.
+ Proficient in design techniques such as nonlinear simulation, Cripps Analysis, and stability analysis using loop-gain methods.
+ Strong understanding of load-pull contours and the use of load-pull data to optimize high-power amplifier designs.
+ Expertise in MMIC power amplifier design, including:
+ Nonlinear circuit design and simulation (harmonic balance, load-pull).
+ Impedance matching techniques for high-power, high-PAE amplifiers.
+ Thermal analysis and thermal management strategies.
+ Advanced stability analysis techniques.
+ Deep knowledge of GaAs pHEMT, GaN-on-SiC HEMT, or other advanced compound semiconductor technologies.
+ Experience with advanced RF/microwave packaging technologies.
+ Must be a U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
**Preferred Qualifications**
+ Strong technical judgment and engineering decision-making skills, especially in complex or ambiguous situations.
+ Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including technical documentation and presentations.
+ Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously while meeting aggressive schedules.
+ Strong teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across cross-functional and customer-facing teams.
