A Day in the Life

Primary responsibilities:

• Own and drive the Analog & RF communication path from architecture definition through detailed design.
• Work closely with leading semiconductor suppliers and technology partners on a system on Chip definition, development, and integration of custom IC/ASIC solutions, contributing to system architectural decisions and ensuring alignment with system-level requirements.
• Research, evaluate, and define communication receiver and transmitter architectures, including Zero-IF, Low-IF/NZ-IF, Superheterodyne, and other relevant architectures, based on system requirements and product constraints.
• Perform system-level RF and Analog analysis, including noise budget, link budget, dynamic range, sensitivity, linearity, distortion, interference, and overall communication-channel performance.
• Develop simulation models and methodologies to evaluate communication-channel performance and validate architectural and design decisions prior to hardware implementation.
• Design and specify the Analog transmitter and receiver signal paths, including filtering, amplification, gain stages, matching networks.
• Analyse and optimize antenna design and RF performance, including antenna matching, efficiency, radiation characteristics, impedance, and interaction with the capsule and surrounding biological environment.
• Drive a system on chip designs from proof-of-concept and laboratory prototypes into production-ready medical devices.

Required qualifications:

• BSc \ MSc in Electrical Engineering.
• 7+ years of hands-on experience in very Low power Analog and RF engineering, preferably in wireless communication systems, RFICs, or mixed-signal systems; Familiarity with SoC/mixed-signal architecture, including considerations for integrating analog, RF, digital, and power-management functions.
• Strong understanding of RF and analog communication architectures, including Zero-IF, Low-IF/NZ-IF, Superheterodyne, and related receiver/transmitter architectures; Proven experience with analog/RF transmitter and receiver design, including filters, amplifiers, LNAs, PAs, mixers, matching networks, and signal-conditioning circuits; Strong understanding of PCB-level RF implementation, including layout, grounding, shielding, power integrity, signal integrity, and RF isolation.

• Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience in writing design and technical specifications.
• Experience in Simulation techniques both transmitter and receiver performance as well as Antenna simulation; Experience in Lab measurement equipment and lab work.
• Familiarity with board design , medical equipment development process, RF Compliance standards.
