Semiconductor Modeling, ESD, and Characterization Engineer Summary Qorvo is seeking an early-career engineer to join its Compound Semiconductor Device Modeling team. This team provides device models, technology definitions, and ESD design infrastructure that enable successful RFIC and MMIC product development across Qorvo's business units. The team is responsible for delivering accurate compact device models, electromagnetic (EM) and electrothermal (ETH) simulation support, and ESD protection solutions for Qorvo's internal GaAs technologies as well as selected external foundry processes. Internal technology support includes HBT, pHEMT, and passive devices developed within Qorvo's proprietary semiconductor processes. For external foundry technologies, the team evaluates and validates foundry-provided models against measured data, provides technical feedback to foundry partners, and develops model improvements when appropriate. This role combines hands-on device characterization, compact model development, ESD circuit support, and design enablement activities. The successful candidate will work closely with circuit designers, process technologists, and Qorvo's Engineering Design Automation (EDA) team to deliver a robust and well-integrated design environment. Our mission is to provide industry-leading modeling and design capabilities that enable innovative products for cellular, infrastructure, defense and aerospace, Wi-Fi, and other advanced RF applications. Responsibilities Design and layout semiconductor device and passive test structures for DC and RF characterization, primarily using Keysight ADS. Perform on-wafer electrical characterization, including DC, CV, S-parameter, noise, large-signal, and temperature-dependent measurements. Extract, validate, and maintain compact device models using industry-standard modeling frameworks such as AHBT, HICUM, and EEHEMT, as well as custom Verilog-A models when req
