Requirements

Candidates should possess a Ph.D. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, and must be a U.S. citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance. They should have experience with high-frequency circuit, electro-magnetic, and system simulators such as Cadence, ADS, AWR, VSS, Sonnet, and HFSS, and multiple tapeouts with different CMOS/BiCMOS and/or III-V MMIC processes. Experience with RF network analyzer measurements and testing of RFIC or MMIC and module components is required, along with familiarity with CMOS/BiCMOS and/or III-V MMIC foundry technologies and their layout practices, and understanding of device physics.

Responsibilities

The RFIC & MMIC Design Engineer will contribute technical expertise to the design, fabrication, integration, and testing of RFIC and MMIC circuits and subsystems ranging from 0.1 to 200+ GHz for applications including electronic warfare, communications, radar, and imaging. They will work closely with scientists and engineers to develop state-of-the-art circuits, lead and coordinate RFIC and MMIC design projects, solve customer problems, write invention disclosures, publish papers, brief customers, participate in proposal activities, and assist in marketing HRL expertise. The role also includes working in a team, performing detailed analyses of integrated circuits/subsystems, preparing written and oral presentations, and potentially traveling to work with program managers, co-workers, and customers in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
