Acoustic Filter Design Engineer

Job Responsibilities

• Design acoustic wave filters for integration into RF modules, while meeting demanding schedules, best in class performance, and critical size and cost requirements
• Follow Skyworks best engineering practices to ensure reliability, sustainability, and delivery of a high production yield
• Drive new architectures and ideas to continuously improve filter and module performance to maintain a competitive edge for Skyworks products
• Conduct design reviews and present quantitative data to demonstrate compliance to internal or customer specifications based on simulation and measured results
• Work closely with module and systems teams to set appropriate goals for filter performance criteria
• Interact with technology and fabrication teams to ensure continuous performance improvements and to steer BU roadmaps
• Drive design methodologies to improve accuracy, efficiency, and first-pass success
• Lead module co-design efforts, working directly with PA, LNA, switch, MCM, and other teams for a holistic approach to performance optimization

Qualifications

• PhD in Electrical Engineering with internship experience; or MS with 8 years of experience; or BS with 12 years of experience
• Significant expertise with acoustic filter and multiplexer designs; highly skilled in many filter design aspects
• Deep understanding of RF fundamentals such as impedance matching, distributed systems, passive RLC and resonant circuits, noise, linearity, bandwidth and stability
• Expertise in PA/LNA filter co-design and RF integration
• Strong circuit simulation skills utilizing Agilent ADS/Cadence and 2.5/3D EM tools such as Momentum or HFSS.
• Significant experience in EM (Electromagnetic) simulation of filters or multi-chip modules (MCM)
• Antenna design will most likely be able to pick this up
• In-depth, practical, hands-on experience on problem solving and lab debugging skills from prototype to mass production

Preferred Qualifications
