Staff Electrical Engineer

Job Description

Skyworks Solutions seeks an RF Characterization Engineer who will play a key role in the development of Skyworks’ acoustic SAW/BAW technologies. This engineer will support the filter design group in terms of characterization and analysis of filter/multiplexers.  The candidate will be focused on supporting characterization and analysis of MEMS devices worldwide working closely with both US and Asian engineering teams.

Location: Irvine, CA

Job Responsibilities

• Work seamlessly as a member of Skyworks’ filter team to advance BAW/SAW technologies.


• Advance the characterization and analysis of RF MEMS filter/multiplexer including S-parameters, IMD & harmonics generation, and ruggedness.


• Design and TO MCM/laminate breakout board for filter/multiplexer, for small signal and large signal characterizations.


• Develop new test solutions required to understand the capabilities and limits of state-of-the-art MEMS devices.


• Enable automation to gather device statistics, and improve efficiency.


• Analyze / process characterization data for use by design and/or modeling teams.  


• Collaborate with modeling & NPI engineers on model development through design of experiments.


• Manage laboratory activities and logistics of material (filters, MCM break-out, module builds).

Job Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering and minimum 5 years of experience is required. Master degree and 3 years of experience are preferred.


• A proven track record as a team player on an engineering team, preferably with experience functioning effectively in a multi-cultural, multi-geographic engineering environment.


• Demonstrated skills in advanced RF characterization -- S-parameters, hot S-parameters, IMD & harmonics generation.


• Strong skills in CAD for MCM/laminate layout.


• Understanding and knowledge electromagnetic theory and circuit design.


• Understanding in either semiconductors and/or acoustic devices.


• Knowledge in semiconductor process or MEMS technology is desirable.


• Knowledge in scripting, especially with Matlab and/or Python, as well as ADS.


• Strong skill in data analytics is desirable.


• Demonstrated strong communication /presentation skills.

Prefered Qualifications

• The ideal candidate will have deep knowledge and experience in working with test methodologies and analysis for semiconductor and/or MEMS devices. Knowledge of BAW/SAW devices is a big plus. The candidate will have the ability to function effectively in a multi-cultural, multi-geographic environment and must also be able to collaborate well with other engineers to achieve divisional objectives.
