About the Role
F.A.S.T. is developing what would be the world's first all-digital S-Band radar chipset — a homegrown UAE ITAR-free capability.
The RFIC Engineer will own the chip-level design, from schematic to GDSII, and drive the programme through tape-out.
Key Responsibilities
- Design RF/mixed-signal ICs for S-Band radar transceivers in 180 nm / 130 nm RFCMOS or BiCMOS processes
- Own circuit blocks: LNA, PA, mixer, PLL/VCO, ADC/DAC interface circuits
- Lead schematic capture, layout, and post-layout simulation in Cadence or equivalent EDA tools
- Manage tape-out submissions, MPW shuttle selection, and wafer testing
- Co-author patent applications for novel circuit topologies
- Work with the RF systems team to meet S-Band radar transceiver specifications
Required Qualifications
- MSc or PhD in Microelectronics, Electrical Engineering, or VLSI Design
- 3+ years RFIC or mixed-signal IC design experience
- Hands-on Cadence Virtuoso or equivalent; experience with TSMC or similar CMOS processes
- Understanding of S-parameter characterisation, noise figure, linearity metrics (IIP3, P1dB)
Bonus / Differentiators
- Prior microwave IC (MMIC) design at 2–4 GHz bands
- Experience with radar-on-chip architectures or phased-array IC design
- Publication record or co-patents in RF circuit design
