Summary Of Role
Provides
technical and execution leadership for
RF, Analog, and MixedSignal subsystems used in GlobalFoundries'
Smart Analog and Sensor device portfolio, including
radar transceivers, sensor frontends, power, data converters, and mixedsignal SoCs for automotive, industrial, and IoT applications.
Acts as the
technical authority for RF/Analog architecture, design quality, and silicon execution, working closely with Product, Systems, Digital, Software, and Manufacturing teams to deliver
automotivegrade, highvolume sensor and RF silicon.
Essential Responsibilities
- Lead RF, analog, and mixedsignal architecture and execution across smart sensor and RFcentric products (e.g., radar FE/transceivers, sensor interfaces, PMIC blocks, data converters).
- Own endtoend technical quality of RF/analog subsystems from concept, circuit design, and verification through silicon bringup, validation, and production.
- Serve as the design authority for critical RF and analog blocks, including performance tradeoffs across noise, linearity, power, area, and robustness.
- Drive alignment between system requirements, circuit design, layout, reliability, and test strategies.
- Partner closely with process technology, modeling, and manufacturing teams to optimize designs for GF platforms (e.g., FDSOI, RF CMOS, advanced packaging).
- Support customer and program engagements as the senior RF/Analog technical interface when required.
- Influence and mentor engineers through technical leadership, reviews, and bestpractice definition (no direct people management required).
Core Competencies
- Deep expertise in RF, Analog, and MixedSignal circuit design
- Systemtosilicon translation for sensor and RFcentric SoCs
- Automotivegrade design robustness and reliability
- Crossdisciplinary influence across digital, software, and manufacturing
- Strong silicon debug, bringup, and characterization leadership
Other Responsibilities
- Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (Master's or PhD preferred).
- 15+ years of experience in RF/analog or mixedsignal semiconductor design.
- Proven delivery of RF or sensorcentric silicon into volume production.
- Strong handson background in circuit design, verification, layout considerations, and silicon validation.
