Job Description:

FBAR Filter Designer

Role Overview

We are seeking an FBAR Filter Designer to lead the development of high-performance RF Front-End (RFFE) solutions. You will own the design lifecycle—from acoustic resonator synthesis to full module integration—bridging the gap between die-level physics and system-level hardware for 5G and Wi-Fi standards.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design & Synthesis: Design high-Q FBAR filters and multiplexers using optimized topologies.
  • Layout & Floor Planning: Own the physical die layout and package integration, optimizing for parasitics and thermal dissipation.
  • Module Co-Design: Manage the interface between acoustic die, laminate, and PCB to ensure signal integrity and target performance.
  • EM Co-Simulation: Lead 3D EM simulations to model package-level parasitics, interconnects, and coupling.
  • Yield & Verification: Perform Monte Carlo and corner analyses to ensure robust performance for high-volume manufacturing (HVM).
  • Collaboration: Partner with process, modeling, test, module, and other design teams to correlate simulations with measured lab data and drive design iterations.

Skills & Experience

  • Acoustic/RF/Microwave Expertise: Deep understanding of FBAR/BAW/SAW physics or extensive experience in RFFE module integration and RF/microwave circuit theory.
  • Simulation Mastery: Expert proficiency in ADS and 3D EM tools (e.g., HFSS, CST, or Sonnet).
  • System Knowledge: Strong grasp of RFFE architectures, including carrier aggregation and coexistence specifications.
  • Communication: Excellent verbal and written skills; ability to explain complex technical trade-offs to cross-functional teams and stakeholders

Education & Qualifications

  • PhD (EE/Physics) with 7+ years experience OR Master’s with 10+ years experience in RF/Microwave design (Acoustic Filter or RFFE Module).
  • Proven track record of successful tape-outs or high-volume product releases.

Compensation and Benefits


The annual base salary range for this position is USD 143,800.00 To USD 230,000.00

As a valued member of our team, you'll be eligible for a discretionary annual bonus and the opportunity to receive not only a competitive new hire equity grant, but also annual equity awards, connecting your success directly to the company's growth. All subject to relevant plan documents and award agreements.


Broadcom offers a competitive and comprehensive benefits package: Medical, dental and vision plans, 401(K) participation including company matching, Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP), Employee Assistance Program (EAP), company paid holidays, paid sick leave and vacation time.
