Description

• Be part of a team of experienced semiconductor engineering teams to supervise and drive the implementation and productization of APTIV’s next generation of Radars, working with external suppliers. • Work with the platform Architects to create mm Wave Radar architecture specification at system, sub system and block levels. • Work with platform development teams to define chip level & IP features. • Work with product development teams and external foundries to define & identify process node technologies and silicon technology features for APTIV’s future MMIC / SOC, based on best cost power and performance matrix. • Working with product development teams and external suppliers, define the best packaging technology and suppliers for next generations of APTIV’s MMIC’s and SOC’s to meet the electrical and thermal requirements within cost/schedules. • Develop system & device level, RF /analog/AMS simulation plan for MMICS. • Actively participate in design review process with external vendors and design houses and internal development teams to ensure all the pre tape out simulation check list is completed. • Working with external and internal development teams ensure a post silicon characterization is in place and executed. • Using the silicon measurement vs simulation co relation provide clear feedback and guidelines to our vendors to ensure minimum amount of silicon iterations for future products. • Work with our design partners and support them through the execution of the MMICS to ensure first-pass silicon success.

Requirements

• Master's degree in electrical engineering with 7 years of experience or PhD with 2 years of experience, with focus on RF/mm Wave /analog design. • Good understanding of analog /RF design techniques to device level. • Good understanding & experience of analog/RF simulation tools and methodologies. Small and large signal. • Good experience of mixed mode simulation tools and methodologies. • Experience of RF layout tools, and parasitic extraction. • Hands on experience of at least one of the key sub systems: TX, RX, PLL/LO generation, and distribution. with experience of the following blocks appropriate to the subsystem: PA, LNA, Mixer, Frequency multipliers, VCO, ADC, PLL, Buffers. LO buffers/drivers, AGC amplifiers, bias generation, and distribution, basic Local LDO design, etc. • A self-starter, team player and team worker who enjoys working with various external and internal partners to deliver best in class & differentiation IPs and products. • Ideally we’d like you to have additional experience of MMIC design for automotive Radar application. • Solid understanding of RF and EM modeling tools and methodologies from system to transistor level. • Solid understanding of at least two silicon process technologies for mm wave design. • Good understanding of automotive radar products, technology, trends and use cases. • Familiar with RF system modeling and link budget tools and methodologies. • Hands on experience of RF measurement tools and techniques to mm Wave or Sub THz. • Keen eye on schedules, cost and quality of deliverables. • Have a holistic view of the entire product, understanding the inter dependencies between various ingredients: SW/HW, package/silicon/board. • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
