Description

You will be responsible for the design and development of SAW/BAW filters in the integrated module for high-end smartphone applications. You will work with a group of domestic and international filter designers performing modeling, filter design, and device characterization. You will will present design reviews which are expected to demonstrate compliance to the specifications using simulation and measured results. Detailed performance requirements for the filter design will be created by the system, module, and related cross functions along with input from the filter designer. You will interact with those teams reporting their design progress for the success of filter/module development.

Responsibilities

• Follow Skyworks best engineering practices to ensure reliability, sustainability, and delivery of a high production yield
• Drive new architectures and ideas to continuously improve filter and module performance to maintain a competitive edge for Skyworks products
• Conduct design reviews and present quantitative data to demonstrate compliance to internal or customer specifications based on simulation and measured results
• Work closely with module and systems teams to set appropriate goals for filter performance criteria

Required Experience and Skills

• Must be enrolled in a degree program in Electrical/Electronic engineering or in RF-related disciplines
• Must be able to work onsite 40 hours per week January - May/June 2026
• Broad understanding of RF analog component performance, characterization via Smith Chart, tuning via passives, etc.
• Strong skill in EM modeling and RF simulation tools (HFSS, Cadence, ADS, AWR, etc.)
• Good communication skills
• Ability to understand and break down complex problems
• Ability to set priorities, report progress and execute to a schedule

Desired Experience and Skills
