Position Summary:

This position is for an RF Systems Engineer in the Diversified Analog Solution (DAS) Division in Skyworks’ Ottawa design center.

The successful candidate will possess a number of critical skills, including a good understanding of RF systems and systems architecture and experience with RF test equipment. Previous RFIC design experience would also be an asset. In addition, the candidate will need excellent communication skills, as the role will involve interaction with customers.

Our Systems Engineers are responsible for driving long-term architectural roadmaps, setting system/device specifications, , validating customer requirements, and driving our customers towards our vision of the future.

Responsibilities:

As a Skyworks DAS employee working in the Systems Engineering Team, you have the chance to have a uniquely large impact on the success of the company.

The RF System Engineer position’s core focus will be to drive our understanding of emerging requirements, and to help us define our product development roadmaps. This will require a knowledge of a variety of RF standards (IEEE 802.11 and 3GPP) enabling us to formulate and specify solutions to optimize the cost/performance/size trade-off.

There is a customer facing component of the position and it also involves working closely with Sales, Marketing and Design teams.
