Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior RFIC Product Engineer to bridge the gap between RF Design and high-volume manufacturing for our Satcom user terminal portfolio. You will own the silicon lifecycle for our Ku/Ka-band and mmWave chips—from the moment first-silicon hits the bench to achieving world-class yields at scale. Your mission is to ensure that every chip delivering high-speed satellite connectivity meets rigorous RF performance, reliability, and cost targets.
Key Responsibilities
- NPI Leadership: Drive the New Product Introduction (NPI) process for RFICs (Beamformers, LNAs, PAs, and Frequency Converters). Define and execute characterization plans that validate silicon against datasheet specs across PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature) corners.
- Yield & Data Science: Own the yield roadmap. Use statistical tools (JMP, Spotfire) to analyze ATE data, identify "marginal" RF performers, and implement guardband strategies that balance high performance with maximum commercial recovery.
- RF Characterization & Bench-to-ATE Correlation: Perform deep-dive bench characterization of RF parameters (Gain, NF, P1dB, IP3, Phase Noise, and S-parameters). Critically, you will lead the correlation between bench measurements and high-volume ATE (Automated Test Equipment) results.
- Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Partner with RF Design teams to influence DFT (Design for Test) and DFM strategies, ensuring mmWave circuits are "testable" at scale without excessive test-time overhead.
- Failure Analysis & Root Cause: Lead technical investigations into yield excursions or reliability failures. Utilize FA techniques to determine if issues stem from fab process shifts, assembly stresses, or design margins.
- Hardware Ownership: Oversee the development of high-signal-integrity RF test hardware, including load boards (DIBs) and probe cards capable of 30GHz+ operation.
Required Qualifications
- Education: BS/MS in Electrical Engineering (Focus on RF/Microwave or Microelectronics).
- Experience: 5+ years in Product Engineering, specifically with RF/Mixed-Signal ICs.
- Technical Expertise:
- Hands-on experience with mmWave frequencies (Ku, Ka, or V-band).
- Expertise in RF lab equipment: VNA (PNA-X), Spectrum Analyzers, Signal Generators, and Noise Figure Meters.
- Strong grasp of Statistical Process Control (SPC) and yield management methodologies.
- Proven experience with RF ATE platforms (e.g., Advantest V93000 with WaveScale RF or Teradyne UltraFLEX).
- Software: Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or JSL (JMP Scripting) for automated data analysis and hardware control.
Preferred "Plus" Skills
- Experience with Phased Array system requirements or Beamforming ICs.
- Direct experience managing OSAT partners in Asia or Europe for RF testing.
- Understanding of satellite communication standards (DVB-S2X, Starlink/Kuiper-specific protocols).
