Our client is seeking a highly self motivated, qualified researcher to join their dynamic team to carry out fundamental and applied research in the area of power electronics. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in the research, simulation and design of RF power amplifiers and RF front-end circuitry, and is expected to be well versed in the various RF front-end architectures of a radio transceiver. Proficiency in power semiconductor device and modeling, including thermal modeling and management would be a great asset. The selected candidate is expected to conduct independent research, develop analytical and numerical models and build prototypes to prove feasibility of concept. Candidates who hold a PhD and preferably with one or more years of post doctorate or industrial experience in the relevant area are encouraged to apply.

Qualifications:

• A Ph.D. in electrical engineering or related fields from a  well-recognized institution.
• A balance of theoretical and practical orientation.
• Solid background in microwave theory, high frequency circuit theory and design.
• Strong analytical skill as well as hands-on hardware prototyping experience in RFIC, modules      and/or subsystems.  
• Broad knowledge in RF amplifier theory and design, RF front-end design, transmitter and   receiver architecture.
• Detailed knowledge of wireless communication standards and systems would be an asset.
• Proven ability to generate and publish fundamental innovations.
• Background in power electronics is an asset.
• Relevant postdoctoral or industrial experience is an asset.
