• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, or related work experience.
• PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, or related work experience.
• 2+ years of academic or professional experience using two or more of the following software: CADENCE, Virtuoso, ADS.

• 3+ years experience in the transistor level design of RF analog integrated circuits with a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with internship or publication.
• 5+ years of experience in one or more of the following areas: Design of receiver and transmitter RF/Analog circuits, Design of high-performance RF frequency synthesizers, Digital control and signal processing, Product experience from conception, design, and product commercialization, Electro Magnetic simulation/modeling.
• 3+ years of experience working in a large matrixed organization.
• 1+ year of product experience with post silicon characterization.
• 1+ year in a technical leadership role with or without direct reports (only applies to positions with direct reports).
• 1+ year of work experience in a role requiring interaction with senior leadership (e.g., Director and above).

• Leads others and independently determines circuit-level specifications based on system-level requirements.
• Uses technical expertise with advanced tools/applications to develop module-level architecture and design of multiple complex blocks based on specifications.
• Effectively utilizes advanced RFIC engineering practices to resolve complex architecture and design problems.
• Runs complex simulations to determine how circuits perform under various circumstances.
• Lead others to floor-plan layout; collaborates with layout engineers to generate the layout of circuits and conduct physical verification on the layout; perform review of generated layout.
• Reviews block-level test plans and reviews test results and provides instructions for test engineers; helps more junior team members do the same.
• Ensure that bugs are fully understood and analyzed; responsible for helping to resolve internal and end-customer issues.
• Seeks advanced knowledge of industry trends, previous generation's advances, competitors' products, and advances related to RFICs.
• Contributes to conversations to generate new ideas for next generation RFICs; provides recommendations for new directions to explore.
• Reviews and writes clear and detailed technical documentation and feature descriptions for complex projects to guide users; reviews and provides feedback on more junior engineers' documentation.

• Working under some supervision.
• Providing some supervision/guidance to others.
• Taking responsibility for own work and making decisions with limited impact; impact of decisions is readily apparent; errors made typically only impact timeline (i.e., require additional time to correct).
• Using verbal and written communication skills to convey basic, routine factual information about day-to-day activities to others who are fully knowledgeable in the subject area.
• Working within prescribed budget and resources.
• Having a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is consulted by senior leadership to provide input on key decisions).
• Completing most tasks with multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; some planning and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively; mistakes may result in some rework.
• Exercising creativity to draft original documents, imagery, or work products within established guidelines.
• Using deductive and inductive problem solving; multiple approaches may be taken/necessary to solve the problem; often information is missing or incomplete; intermediate data analysis/interpretation skills may be required.
• May be solicited during strategic planning period.
