RFIC Design Engineer I

Meet the Team 

You’ll join Silicon Labs’ RFIC Design Team, developing radio transceivers for innovative IoT wireless products. Our team designs the analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuitry that enables reliable wireless communication across Silicon Labs’ portfolio. 

As a new college graduate, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers and apply your academic knowledge to real-world RF design challenges while building expertise across the integrated circuit development lifecycle.

Responsibilities 

• Design and develop RF, analog, and mixed-signal circuits for wireless transceivers.  

• Perform circuit analysis, simulation, modeling, and design verification.  

• Evaluate design performance against technical requirements and identify opportunities for improvement.  

• Support the development of radio transceiver from initial concept through implementation and validation.  

• Analyze simulation and laboratory data to troubleshoot circuit performance.  

• Collaborate with RF, analog, digital, layout, systems, validation, and product engineering teams.  

• Document design decisions, technical results, and engineering recommendations.  

• Develop technical expertise through mentorship, design reviews, and hands-on project experience.
