Staff RF/MS IC Design Engineer

Join MaxLinear and you will work closely with a world-class team of IC designers to design high-performance ICs with RF, analog, mixed-signal and digital systems integrated on a single chip.

In this role, you will focus on:

• Lead design, implementation, and verification of critical sub-blocks of a major Subsystem like Rx, Tx and PLL
• Characterize and debug relevant blocks and systems
• Analyze the effects of non-idealities on circuit performance
• Report the results of design, analysis and evaluation
• Strong knowledge of RF/Mixed-signal circuits and high speed serdes subsystems with ability to drive topology choices
• In-depth understanding of Mixed-signal circuit blocks such as ADCs, DACs, PLLs
• Solid understanding of CMOS process and device physics
• Working knowledge of RF/analog layout techniques. Familiarity to FINFET layout is a must
• Hands-on experience testing your own designs in the lab and define production test requirements
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• ( Required) BE/ME/MS in Electrical Engineering with at least 4 years of experience in RF/Analog/Mixed-signal design or PhD in Electrical Engineering

MaxLinear is a global, NASDAQ-traded company (MXL) where the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well. We are a fabless system-on-chip product company, striving to improve the world’s communication networks for everyone through our highly integrated radio-frequency (RF), analog, digital, and mixed-signal semiconductor solutions for access and connectivity, wired and wireless infrastructure, and industrial and multi-market applications.

We hire the best people in the industry and engage them in some of the most exciting opportunities that connect the world we live in today.

Our growth has come from innovative, bold approaches to solving some of the world’s most challenging communication technology problems in the most efficient and effective manner.

MaxLinear began by developing the world’s first high-performance TV tuner chip using standard CMOS process technology.

Others said we couldn’t achieve the extremely high-performance requirements using CMOS, but we proved them wrong and achieved enduring global market leadership with our designs.

Since then, we’ve developed a full line of products that drive 4G and 5G infrastructure; enable data center, metro and long-haul optical interconnects; bring 10Gbit to the home; power the IoT revolution; and enable robust and reliable communication in harsh industrial environments.
