RF Device Modeling Engineer
About the role
This role involves extracting and optimizing compact (SPICE) models for semiconductor devices. You will collaborate with design and process technology teams.
What you'll do
- Extract compact models for advanced semiconductor devices (HBT/BJT, RF CMOS, RF Passives, GaN)
- Partner with designers and technologists to deploy modeling solutions for RF circuit topologies
- Develop innovative model formulations for emerging device technologies
- Develop AI/ML-enhanced models and parameter extraction methodologies
- Validate models through comprehensive measurement and analysis
What you'll need
- Ph.D./Masters in Electrical Engineering or related field
- 5+ years in compact (SPICE) RF modeling for HBT/BJT and CMOS
Nice to have
- Expert-level experience with RF characterization, modeling, and circuit-level validation for s-parameters, noise figure, linearity, IMP3/IP3, and harmonic distortion
- Strong understanding of RF test-structures, layouts, and calibration/de-embedding techniques
- Experience with models (BSIM, MEXTRAM, HICUM, MVSG-GAN, ASM) and parameter extraction tools (ICCAP, BSIMPROPLUS, MBP, etc.)
- Deep understanding of semiconductor physics and circuit analysis
- Proficiency in EDA tools (Cadence), SPICE simulators (Spectre) and Verilog-A
- Programming skills in MATLAB/Python
- Data analysis skills with AI/ML expertise and TCAD experience
Skills: compact models, semiconductor devices, HBT/BJT, RF CMOS, GaN, SPICE modeling, RF characterization, semiconductor physics
