All potential applicants are encouraged to scroll through and read the complete job description before applying.

We’re looking for a Senior MMIC Engineer to join their engineering group, collaborating closely with RF, electronics, and systems engineers to drive the design and development of advanced MMIC-based products. This is a key technical role focused on RFIC / MMIC design using GaAs, GaN, and InP technologies, supporting applications from 37GHz up to 115GHz and beyond.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Design and layout of MMICs including LNAs, gain blocks, power amplifiers, up / down-converters, multipliers, and variable attenuators across multiple process technologies.
  • Select appropriate MMIC processes based on application requirements and performance trade-offs.
  • Conduct simulations and hands-on testing to validate designs, working with in-house labs and external semiconductor foundries.
  • Prepare and review comprehensive design documentation, ensuring alignment with technical, quality, cost, and manufacturing goals.
  • Collaborate with other engineering teams during design reviews to reduce risk and improve reliability.
  • Perform thermal analysis and MTBF assessments.
  • Manage fab submissions, coordinate with foundries, and support prototype and production testing.
  • Identify and document novel IP arising from design work with potential for patent applications.

What We’re Looking For :

  • A relevant engineering degree (MSc or PhD preferred).
  • Experience in MMIC / RFIC design within the semiconductor or RF industry.
  • Hands-on experience designing MMIC amplifiers, frequency converters, and related RF circuits using GaAs or GaN HEMT technologies.
  • Strong measurement skills, including wafer probing and use of advanced RF lab equipment.
  • A solid understanding of various semiconductor technologies and their impact on RFIC / MMIC performance.
  • Familiarity with RF / microwave system-level design is advantageous.
  • Previous engagement with external foundries and understanding of their workflows is beneficial.
  • Why Apply?

  • Flexible hybrid working options.
  • Generous pension and life assurance schemes.
  • Training & development support.
  • Competitive holiday allowance.
  • Opportunity to contribute to advanced mmWave products used globally.
  • If you’re an experienced Senior MMIC Engineer looking for a role where you can work on complex, high-frequency designs with a technically strong and supportive team, please reach out to Zac Taylor at IC Resources.
