Staff Electrical Engineer

Position Overview

Skyworks is an innovator of high-performance analog semiconductors whose solutions are powering the wireless networking revolution. At Skyworks, you will find a fast-paced environment with a strong focus on global collaboration and minimal layers of management. This role offers the opportunity to contribute meaningfully while working with a diverse, talented team.

In this position, as a Staff Electrical Engineer with an emphasis on RF characterization, you will play a key role in advancing acoustic SAW/BAW technologies. The role involves supporting the filter design group through the characterization and analysis of filter/multiplexers and MEMS devices in close collaboration with engineering teams in the US and Asia. Location: Irvine, CA

Key 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 both small signal and large signal characterizations.
• Develop new test solutions to understand the capabilities and limits of state-of-the-art MEMS devices.
• Enable automation to gather device statistics and improve efficiency.
• Analyze and process characterization data for use by design and/or modeling teams.
• Collaborate with modeling and NPI engineers on model development through design of experiments.
• Manage laboratory activities and logistics of material (filters, MCM break-out, module builds).

Required 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 in a multi-cultural, multi-geographic 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 of electromagnetic theory and circuit design.
• Familiarity with semiconductor and/or acoustic devices.
• Knowledge in semiconductor process or MEMS technology is desirable.
• Experience with scripting languages, especially Matlab and/or Python, as well as ADS.
• Strong skills in data analytics are desirable.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• 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. Ability to function effectively in a multi-cultural, multi-geographic environment and collaborate well with other engineers to achieve divisional objectives.

Benefits & Perks

• Compensation: The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is currently USD $114,400 - $220,200 per year. Starting base pay will depend on relevant experience and skills, training and education, business needs, market demands, the ultimate job duties and requirements, and work location.
• Referral Bonus Program Reward (if eligible): $6,000.00
• Benefits include access to healthcare (including a premium-free medical plan option), a 401(k) plan with company match, an employee stock purchase plan, and paid time off (including vacation, sick/wellness, and parental leave).
• Eligibility to participate in an incentive plan with opportunities for additional awards, including recognition and stock, based on individual and/or company performance.
