Rf Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Oregon, Hillsboro, United States +3

RF Engineer at Intel responsible for designing, developing, and verifying complex radio frequency integrated circuits for IPs and SoCs. This includes transistor-level feasibility analysis, floorplan and layout definition, test bench creation, and debugging. The role involves ensuring designs meet specifications and customer needs, applying knowledge of electromagnetic and communication theory, and working with RF test equipment and wireless applications (4G, 5G, WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS).

What you'd actually do

  1. Defines, designs, and develops complex radio frequency integrated circuits in IPs and SoCs and creates verification test plans for RF validation in Process Design Kits.
  2. Conducts transistor level feasibility analysis, defines floorplan and layout for RF circuit architecture, creates test benches, and verifies and debugs design to meet the desired specifications.
  3. Reviews system specifications and design plans to ensure that designs meet customer needs and is compliant with applicable codes, standards, and regulations.
  4. Designs new product concepts and prototypes, creates detailed drawings of circuit designs, and develops and analyzes test procedures.
  5. Performs radio signal path and ensures detailed transistor level design for transceivers, RFIC blocks, wireless applications (4G, 5G, WLAN, Bluetooth, and GPS).
