About the role
Skyworks is seeking an Analog Design Engineer to join the Defense & Aerospace High-Power RF Solutions (HPRF) product development team to lead the design and development of circuit card assemblies (CCAs) for solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs) and high-power RF systems. This role oversees the electrical design, analysis, integration, verification, and production support of complex mixed-signal and analog hardware.
What you'll do
- Design and develop analog, RF, and mixed-signal CCAs for SSPA and high-power RF amplifier products.
- Design and integrate RF amplifier bias and control circuits, GaN power amplifier support circuitry, power conditioning and distribution networks, RF detector and monitoring circuits, health monitoring and fault protection circuits, and high-current analog interfaces.
- Perform circuit simulations and analyses using tools such as LTspice, PSpice, or equivalent to ensure performance, robustness, and reliability.
- Collaborate with PCB layout engineers to optimize RF grounding and isolation, high-current power distribution, thermal management, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC performance.
- Support RF subsystem integration and bring-up activities.
What you'll need
- BS in Electrical Engineering or related discipline with 5+ years of experience, MS with Analog Design focus and 3+ years, or PhD with Analog Design focus.
- 5+ years of experience in analog or mixed-signal electronic design, including designing and developing Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs).
- Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex hardware issues at the board and system level.
- Strong understanding of analog circuit design, high-current electronic circuits, signal conditioning and measurement circuits, and EMI/EMC mitigation techniques.
- Knowledge of signal integrity analysis, power integrity analysis, environmental qualification testing, reliability engineering, DFM, and DFT.
- Hands-on laboratory experience using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers (VNAs), signal generators, and power meters.
- US Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a US Government security clearance.
