We are looking for an experienced Principal RFIC Design Engineer to take a leading technical role in the development of highly integrated RF and mixed-signal ICs. The ideal candidate combines deep hands-on circuit-design expertise with strong system understanding and a proven ability to drive complex designs from architecture and specification through implementation, verification, silicon bring-up, and production. The role has significant influence on RF architecture, technical decisions, design methodology, and the development of the broader RFIC team. Lead the architecture, design, simulation, and verification of complex RF, analog baseband, data-converter, SerDes, and mixed-signal circuits Design and/or technically lead circuits such as LNAs, PAs, mixers, VGAs, RF front ends, ADCs, DACs, filters, analog baseband signal-processing chains, SerDes analog front ends, PLLs and frequency synthesizers, VCOs and DCOs, clock-generation and distribution circuits, biasing, and power-management circuitry Lead RFIC top-level integration and sign-off across RF, analog, digital, package, PCB, and power domains, including supply coupling, spurs, isolation, and signal integrity Partner with layout engineers on RF-aware layout, parasitic optimization, EM analysis, extraction, and post-layout verification Work with validation, test, and product engineering to define characterization, calibration, ATE, and production-test strategies for high-volume manufacturing Provide technical guidance and mentorship through design reviews, methodology improvements, and cross-functional technical alignment BSc, MSc,



or PhD in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or a related field, with a minimum of 10 years of industry experience in RFIC or analog/mixed-signal IC design and demonstrated ownership of complex designs that reached production silicon Strong RF and analog fundamentals, including noise, linearity, matching, stability, feedback, device modeling, process variation, data-converter performance, and analog baseband signal processing Hands-on design experience across several RF, data-converter, SerDes, frequency-generation, or analog baseband blocks, such as LNAs, PAs, mixers, VGAs, ADCs, DACs, filters, variable-gain signal chains, SerDes analog front ends, PLLs, VCOs, and DCOs Solid experience with Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre or equivalent environments and with relevant verification methods, including S-parameters, PSS/PAC/PNOISE, transient noise, and data-converter or baseband performance analysis Experience developing high-volume integrated products in advanced CMOS technologies for wireless connectivity, wireline communications, data conversion, SerDes, networking, or other complex analog and mixed-signal applications Practical understanding of on-chip LDOs, biasing, calibration,



package and PCB interactions, ATE, production test, and high-volume manufacturing Strong written and verbal communication skills in English Private Medical Insurance Company Overview MaxLinear is a general, 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. 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. enable data center, metro and long-haul optical interconnects; and enable robust and reliable communication in harsh industrial environments. We also have major design centers in Irvine and San Jose, California; We have approximately 1,200 employees, a substantial majority of whom have engineering degrees and include masters and Ph.
D. graduates from many of the premiere universities around the world.
