• Cellular Receiver Expertise: Demonstrated proficiency in multi-band cellular receiver architectures and the transistor-level design of core receiver blocks (LNAs, mixers, filters, ADCs). Your circuit design decisions should be driven by your understanding of system-level impacts and performance trade-offs.
• Trade-off Analysis: Proven ability to translate high-level system requirements into detailed, block-level specifications. You must have a holistic view of the entire receiver chain to make informed architectural and circuit-level trade-offs between noise figure, linearity, power, and area. This includes creating and managing system budgets (e.g., noise, linearity, phase noise) and understanding the interactions between the RF front-end, analog baseband, data converters, and digital processing.
• RF Simulation and Modeling: Skilled in using RF simulation tools to validate not only block-level performance but also system-level behavior under various 3GPP-defined test conditions. Expertise with EM simulation tools for designing and co-simulating critical components within the system context.
• Innovation and Learning: A history of innovation driven by a deep understanding of system constraints and opportunities for improvement.

• BSEE/MSEE or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a focus on RF/Analog IC design.
