About InnoPhase IoT

If you are keen to work with a bunch of brilliant people with various backgrounds, if you share the same value of working smart and celebrating successes, if you have enthusiasm for big technology in a small company, if your goals are to learn and experience different aspects of work--not just singing the same song every day, you’ll find your playground at Innophase IoT.

We are looking for people seeking AWESOMENESS! If you’re good at what you do, you can work anywhere. If you’re the best at what you do, come work at Innophase IoT!

This is an excellent opportunity for highly motivated new graduates who are passionate about RFIC design, wireless systems, and semiconductor technology development.

Responsibilities

• Participate in the design and development of RF, analog, and mixed-signal circuits in advanced CMOS technologies
• Support transistor-level design and simulation of RF front-end and analog building blocks such as LNAs, PAs, mixers, amplifiers, oscillators, bias circuits, filters, and clocking circuits
• Perform circuit simulations, behavioral modeling, and performance analysis using Cadence, Matlab, and related tools
• Assist with EM simulation, passive component modeling, packaging effects, ESD considerations, and supply isolation analysis
• Collaborate with layout engineers and participate in post-layout verification and analysis
• Work with system engineers to understand product requirements and derive circuit-level specifications
• Support silicon bring-up, lab validation, characterization, debugging, and performance optimization using standard RF lab equipment
• Collaborate with digital, firmware, and test engineering teams on system integration and production test development
• Document design work and present technical results to the engineering team

Minimum Qualifications

• MSEE or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Specialization or research focus in RFIC, analog, mixed-signal IC design, wireless communications, or related areas
