This position is for a Principal Design Engineer of RF acoustic wave filters in Skyworks Irvine Design Center. Youll be working as part of an elite team of 9 RF professionals creating the technology for next-generation cellular handsets and other wireless communication devices and applications. Your job function will focus primarily on the design of acoustic filters, including SAW and BAW technology, for RF front-end modules.
- Design acoustic wave filters for integration into RF modules, while meeting demanding schedules, best in class performance, and critical size and cost requirements
- Follow Skyworks best engineering practices to ensure reliability, sustainability, and delivery of a high production yield
- Drive new architectures and ideas to continuously improve filter and module performance to maintain a competitive edge for Skyworks products
- Conduct design reviews and present quantitative data to demonstrate compliance to internal or customer specifications based on simulation and measured results
- Work closely with module and systems teams to set appropriate goals for filter performance criteria
- Interact with technology and fabrication teams to ensure continuous performance improvements and to steer BU roadmaps
- Drive design methodologies to improve accuracy, efficiency, and first-pass success
- Lead module co-design efforts, working directly with PA, - LNA, switch, MCM, and other teams for a holistic approach to performance optimization
