Principle Duties and Essential Functions

• Support the architecture, design, and validation of high‑speed RFICs (Laser Drivers, TIAs, analog front‑ends) for optical transceivers and optical engines 

• Define RFIC specifications and roadmaps aligned with coherent and direct‑detect optical platforms (100G, 800G ZR / ZR+, 1.6T ZR / ZR+) 

• Own technology selection and trade‑offs across SiGe BiCMOS, RF CMOS, and advanced foundry processes 

• Drive RFIC development through the full lifecycle: concept → silicon → bring‑up → DVT → PVT → MP

• Ensure RFIC performance against key metrics: bandwidth, noise, linearity, output swing, power, and robustness 

• Mentor and technically guide RFIC engineers and junior designers 

• Support recruitment and capability building (RFIC design, CAD, layout) 

• Contribute to long‑term technology strategy and next‑generation optical engine concepts 

• Represent RFIC technology internally and externally (foundries, partners, universities) 

Knowledge, Skills and Experience Required

• MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or related field 

• 5+ years’ experience in high‑speed analog / RFIC design 

• Proven experience with optical transceiver or optical engine RFICs a

• Deep expertise in:  

• RFIC and high‑speed analog circuit design 

• Laser Drivers, TIAs, coherent / high‑speed analog front‑ends 

• Noise, linearity, signal integrity, and power optimization 

• Strong experience with Cadence design flow (Virtuoso, Spectre, EM tools) 

• Experience supporting silicon bring‑up, characterization, and qualification 

• Solid understanding of electro‑optic integration with Silicon Photonics  

• Good communication skills across disciplines and geographies 

• Comfortable working in a matrix, multi‑site organization
