Why Silicon Labs:

Innovation doesn't start with companies; it starts with people. We put people first in everything we do, whether it’s employees we work with every day, our customers developing new devices, or the people in communities where we operate. Our incredibly talented team is comprised of innovative risk-takers pushing the bounds of what’s possible. We're problem solvers first, addressing industry’s biggest challenges to transform industries, grow economies and improve lives.

Meet The Team:

We are the Hyderabad RF IC design team responsible for the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radio designs, working closely with the Modem design, Analog/RF IC layout , RF Validation , CAD, PTE, Packaging, Module design, HW tools, Apps and SW teams among other teams. We are a mix of junior and experienced engineers with the current head count of ~15 members.  We take pride in getting the chip to perform as designed in the very first tape out. RF design is at the core of the wireless performance that our state of the art chips exhibit. Most of the wireless datasheet parameters are a directly related to how the radio performs. We focus on optimizing the power, performance and die area ( aka PPA

The Role:

You’ll contribute to the design and development of state-of-the-art Wi-Fi/Bluetooth products, focusing on low-power, high-performance RF and analog circuits. You’ll work closely with senior engineers, learning the full design flow from concept to silicon validation.

Responsibilities:

· Contribute to the design, simulation, and verification of analog/RF building blocks (LNAs, mixers, baseband filters, dividers, PAs, etc.) in advanced CMOS technologies.

· Support integration and characterization of analog/RF sub-systems such as Rx, Tx, and synthesizer blocks.

· Perform schematic design, transistor-level simulation, and assist in layout verification and reviews.

· Participate in silicon validation and debug, correlating lab measurements with simulations.

· Work with cross-functional teams (system, digital, layout, and test engineering) to ensure successful product integration.

· Support documentation and review processes for design blocks.

· Apply low-power design principles and techniques to meet aggressive power and performance targets.

Preferred Skills:

· Experience in Analog/Mixed signal/RFIC circuit design in CMOS

· Prior experience in designing one or more of the following RF circuits in CMOS (0.13u or lower geometries): LNAs, Mixers(active/Passive), Baseband Filters, I/Q data converters, High frequency LO Dividers, High power CMOS Pas

· Experience with EM modeling tools and passive components (inductors, transformers) is a plus.

· Basic scripting knowledge in Python, SKILL, Shell, etc. for design automation is desirable.

· Good understanding of RF system fundamentals, modulation/demodulation, and wireless transceiver architectures.

· Good understanding of device noise, mismatch, linearity, and other RF and analog impairments

· Strong knowledge of RF design and implementation techniques

· Proficiency in Cadence Design Environment for Analog, Mixed-Signal and RF designs (Cadence Analog Artist, Cadence Virtuoso, SpectreRF, EMX, AFS etc.)

· Ability to drive strong production test/QA methodologies

· Excellent written and verbal presentation skills required.

Minimum Qualifications:

Senior Engineer: 3–6 years of relevant industry experience.

BS/MS/MSc/Ph. D in Electronics/ Electrical/ Integrated Circuits Engineering
