About this position

The NCIC Laboratory in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to lead circuit and system design for a reconfigurable wideband transceiver aimed at next-generation wireless systems.

Working under the direction of Prof. Payam Heydari, the postdoctoral researcher will contribute across the full hardware stack: designing RF and mm-wave building blocks, integrating a custom silicon front end with a high-throughput digital baseband on an RF System-on-Chip FPGA platform, and supporting over-the-air demonstration activities with industry partners.

The project is strongly hardware-oriented and emphasizes ownership from architecture through fabrication, bring-up, and measured results. The role includes layout, verification, tape-out, laboratory characterization of fabricated chips, and system integration for a reconfigurable transceiver platform in advanced CMOS.

Research activities will also involve collaboration with academic and industry partners, mentoring graduate students, and preparing technical reports and publications. The position offers a highly applied environment centered on nanoscale communication integrated circuits and experimental wireless hardware development at UC Irvine.

Funding details

Salary estimate $71,491-$85,736 per year, with salary following the University of California Postdoctoral Scholar salary scale and appointment renewable for up to three years subject to performance and continued funding.

What's required

A Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a dissertation in RF and analog integrated circuit design and fabrication is required, along with an excellent academic record. Applicants must have extensive tape-out experience and be able to substantiate contributions to several fabricated chips and measured silicon results. Required technical skills include demonstrated RF and mm-wave IC design capability in CMOS or SiGe BiCMOS, fluency with Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre and electromagnetic simulation tools, and baseband FPGA programming in Verilog or VHDL using the Xilinx/AMD Vivado toolchain. Hands-on laboratory measurement experience with vector network analyzers, signal generators, analyzers, and high-speed sampling instrumentation is required, as are a strong publication record and clear technical writing and presentation skills in English. Preferred experience includes nanoscale CMOS or advanced nodes, phased-array and beamforming transceivers, high-speed data converter interfaces, RFSoC-based modem development, OFDM or related waveform processing in hardware, and familiarity with 3GPP NR or O-RAN specifications. A Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science from a major research university is also listed as a basic qualification.

How to apply

Apply online through the UC Irvine recruitment portal at the provided application link. Submit a current CV and the names and contact information for three references. Additional application materials listed include an optional cover letter, optional statement of research, and optional teaching statement.
