of Role:

Provides technical and execution leadership for RF, Analog, and Mixed‑Signal subsystems used in GlobalFoundries’ Smart Analog and Sensor device portfolio, including radar transceivers, sensor front‑ends, power, data converters, and mixed‑signal SoCs for automotive, industrial, and IoT applications.

Acts as the technical authority for RF/Analog architecture, design quality, and silicon execution, working closely with Product, Systems, Digital, Software, and Manufacturing teams to deliver automotive‑grade, high‑volume sensor and RF silicon

Essential Responsibilities

• Lead RF, analog, and mixed‑signal architecture and execution across smart sensor and RF‑centric products (e.g., radar FE/transceivers, sensor interfaces, PMIC blocks, data converters).

• Own end‑to‑end technical quality of RF/analog subsystems from concept, circuit design, and verification through silicon bring‑up, validation, and production.

• Serve as the design authority for critical RF and analog blocks, including performance trade‑offs across noise, linearity, power, area, and robustness.

• Drive alignment between system requirements, circuit design, layout, reliability, and test strategies

• Partner closely with process technology, modeling, and manufacturing teams to optimize designs for GF platforms (e.g., FD‑SOI, RF CMOS, advanced packaging).

• Support customer and program engagements as the senior RF/Analog technical interface when required.

• Influence and mentor engineers through technical leadership, reviews, and best‑practice definition (no direct people management required).

Core Competencies

• Deep expertise in RF, Analog, and Mixed‑Signal circuit design

• System‑to‑silicon translation for sensor and RF‑centric SoCs

• Automotive‑grade design robustness and reliability

• Cross‑disciplinary influence across digital, software, and manufacturing

• Strong silicon debug, bring‑up, and characterization leadership

Other Responsibilities:

• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (Master’s or PhD preferred).

• 15+ years of experience in RF/analog or mixed‑signal semiconductor design.

• Proven delivery of RF or sensor‑centric silicon into volume production.

• Strong hands‑on background in circuit design, verification, layout considerations, and silicon validation
