Job Title
Staff LNA Design Engineer
Posting Details Start Date: 8/4/25 Location: Andover
Job Summary When you join our Mobile Solutions team, you’ll join a uniquely collaborative, multi‑discipline engineering community who support each other working across our domestic design centers creating cutting edge products for global markets. You’ll be paired with a mentor to help support you as an integral part of our design team. As an LNA Design Engineer you will be responsible for the design and development of SOI RFICs for mobile handset applications.
Job Responsibilities
Work with a group of analog/RFIC design experts in development of cellular‑band RFICs that have stand‑alone or integrated LNA cores, RF switches, attenuators, controller, and various RF and analog functional blocks
Interface with system engineers and module design teams to create the detailed specification, report design progress, and to collect, track, and resolve any performance and circuit design issues
Required Experience and Skills BS + 8 years experience, MSEE + 6 years or PhD + 3
Transistor‑level CMOS or SOI RFIC design knowledge
Basic device physics
Ability to develop and use advanced linear and nonlinear models or simulation techniques and be able to translate between the model, simulation, physical implementation, and the measured performance of a device
Optimize RFIC performance using RF and microwave engineering knowledge
Utilize simulation tools, analog and RF circuit test characterization techniques and equipment
Good communication skills, ability to break down complex problems, set priorities, report progress, execute to a schedule, and have strong teamwork skills
Strong understanding in RF/microwave fundamentals such as impedance matching, passive RLC and resonant circuits, noise, linearity, circuit stability and Electromagnetic theory
Relevant experience in micro‑strip/strip line stack up/laminate/multi‑chip module (MCM), PA, LNA, RF switch design or passive circuit design such as integrated passive device, coupler and balun
Strong circuit simulation skills utilizing Agilent ADS/ 2.5/3D EM tools such as Momentum/EMX/Sonnet, HFSS/CST and Cadence and ability to translate between the model, simulation, physical implementation, and measured performance
Strong lab skills in data collection/analysis, lab debug/tuning and product troubleshooting
Compensation & Benefits The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is currently $91,200 – $177,200. 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. Skyworks has different base pay ranges for different work locations in the U.S. Benefits include access to healthcare benefits (including a premium‑free medical plan option), a 401(k) plan and company match, an employee stock purchase plan, paid time off (including vacation, sick/wellness, parental leave), among others. Employees are eligible to participate in an incentive plan, and certain roles are also eligible for additional awards, including recognition and stock.
