RFIC Power Amplifier Design Engineer

Falcomm

Atlanta, GA • On-site

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, PTO

Posted 4 days ago

Job description

Falcomm is a fabless semiconductor company developing high-efficiency RF power amplifier chips and RF front-end solutions for communications, aerospace, and defense applications. Our work is focused on turning advanced RF innovation into practical, high-performance products that solve real-world challenges across demanding environments.

This is an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge semiconductor development in a fast-moving setting where technical depth and execution matter. You'll join a team focused on advancing RF front-end performance and helping bring sophisticated power amplifier solutions from concept into silicon.

As an RFIC Power Amplifier Design Engineer, you will play a central role in shaping PA designs that support next-generation communications and high-performance RF systems. This role is well suited to someone who enjoys complex technical challenges, works well in a fast-paced engineering environment, and is motivated by seeing advanced semiconductor design translated into real applications.

Responsibilities
  • Lead RFIC power amplifier design from architecture through tapeout and validation.
  • Drive PA tapeouts using SOI or SiGe technologies.
  • Develop IC layouts and perform PEX extraction as part of the design flow.
  • Perform electromigration analysis to support robust RFIC implementation.
  • Simulate the linear and non-linear behavior of RF power amplifiers to meet performance targets such as gain, linearity, power, and bandwidth.

Requirements

  • Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field, with an educational emphasis on RF/microwave integrated circuits design.
  • 3+ years of experience in RF power amplifier design and development up to 60GHz, including PA tapeout experience using SOI or SiGe technologies.
  • Strong circuit design skills for RFIC power amplifier design.
  • Deep knowledge of differential and single-ended power amplifiers, including modes of operation, matching, bias, and architecture considerations.
  • Experience with IC layout and PEX extraction, along with performing electromigration analysis and simulating both linear and non-linear RF PA behavior to meet targets for gain, linearity, power, and bandwidth.
  • Proficiency with RFIC simulation and design tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Keysight ADS, Keysight SystemVue, and Siemens Calibre, plus experience with EM simulators such as HFSS, Momentum, or EMX.
  • EM knowledge of passive RF components, including couplers, baluns, and matching networks.
  • Knowledge of RF transceiver architectures, digital communication systems, spread spectrum, single and multi-carrier techniques, and modulation types such as QPSK, APSK, and QAM.

Benefits

  • Stock option plan
  • Medical, dental, and vision
  • Paid time off
  • Family leave
