Job Title: Senior Principal Analog Mixed-Signal Design 

Job Location: Hybrid In office 2 days a week minimum, Westlake Village, CA.

Job Summary

Our client is seeking an RF and Analog Design Engineer to contribute to the development of multi-tens of GHz Transimpedance amplifiers TIAs.

Job Responsibilities

In this role you will be responsible for:

• Active circuit design as well as technical leadership.

• Designing leading edge transimpedance amplifier design, primarily in Silicon Germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS (Bipolar Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology, where circuit performance will need to transcend beyond industry leading products.

• Developing ransmission line structures and other millimeter wave structures to enable higher performance than would normally be achievable.

• Designing of hi-performance broadband analog circuits for optical front-end receivers.

• Design of various other analog circuits including linear regulators, AGC loop, current/voltage sensors, bandgaps etc.

• Developing microarchitecture of chips and major circuit blocks and guide a team of designers to implement them. Work with various technologies including SiGe BiCMOS and CMOS.

• Working with other functional groups to drive post-silicon validation, qualification, transition to mass production, and customer support.

• Working with management and marketing to define parts and translate the specifications and definitions into circuit implementation.

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering in the areas of design of high-performance RF/Analog Receiver/TIA design and 15+ years experience Or MSc EE 10-12+
