Read as two shops

Skyworks is the skyworksinc.com Irvine record. Qorvo is qorvo.com. This page does not write them as one floor.

Current is 92 against 80

Qorvo maps 92 current design seats. Skyworks maps 80. The two add 172.

Jobs are 9 against 9

Both shops map 9 same-seat jobs. Headline jobs are 18, not a one-sided book.

The cascade before the nameplate

This page reads the PA → filter → LNA design cascade first. It does not lead with company-wide totals.

About this report.This page reads the RF front-end / RFIC design seat at Skyworks and Qorvo. The mapped list can be requested through the list form.
RF cascade PA to filter to LNA: Qorvo 92 current, Skyworks 80, jobs 9 and 9
An RF cascade. PA → filter → LNA. Qorvo 92, Skyworks 80. Jobs sit 9 and 9.
Tied Nines

Open jobs are 9 at Qorvo and 9 at Skyworks

Same-seat jobs are 9 on each side. The 18-job book is a tie, not a one-sided stack.

two parallel cascades: Qorvo 92 versus 9, Skyworks 80 versus 9, jobs tied
Two parallel cascades, not crossed strokes. Qorvo 92 versus 9, Skyworks 80 versus 9.

Job titles that hold

Job titles that hold include RF Design Liaison, Staff RF Design Engineer, and Principal RF Design Engineer Antennas. Those are design seats.

Interns are not the hook

Co-op and intern jobs exist. They are not the public hook. The first screen cites 92, 80, and jobs 9 and 9.

How to read the tie

The job book is equally thick. It does not follow the 92-versus-80 current split. This is a talent-flow contrast, not one shop's wall.

Antennas stay on the seat

Principal RF Design Engineer Antennas still reads as RF design, not a separate antenna-product page.

The contrast.Jobs are tied. Current is not. The two shops stay written apart.
Current Split

Current splits 92 and 80, not 9 and 9

Qorvo maps 92 current on the same seat. Skyworks maps 80. The current line is not a tie.

Qorvo 92

RF front-end / RFIC design current on the qorvo.com record. Samples include Staff Analog RF Design Engineer, Principal Analog RF Design Engineer, and Technical Director RF Design.

Skyworks 80

Same-seat current on the skyworksinc.com Irvine record. Samples include RFIC Designer, RF Design Engineer, and Staff Electrical RF Engineer.

Not a leftover union

Avnera and other Skyworks leftovers are not unioned into the 80. TriQuint, RFMD, and Qorvo China are not unioned into the 92. This page does not invent city or country integers.

Not the same line as jobs

92 versus 80 is current. 9 versus 9 is jobs. Do not mash the two lines into one thicker-name sentence.

How to read this.80 completes 172. It does not make the two shops one floor, and it does not turn the current gap into a job-book gap.
Cascade Path

PA then filter then LNA is the design path this page keeps

What stays on the cascade

RF front-end module, RFIC, analog-RF IC, RF hardware, and PA, filter, LNA, and switch design titles.

What is struck off

FAE / Applications Engineer, foundry / process integration, factory techs, baseband analog, and sales. Company-wide Skyworks or Qorvo stays off this page.

Who is read beside whom

Qorvo is read beside Skyworks. This is not a TI/ADI baseband-analog page, and not one closed combined shop.

Smear to leave off

Do not use an intern title as a public hook. Do not union baseband analog into this cascade. Do not invent city integers.

RF cascade in: PA, filter, LNA, RFIC; FAE and foundry struck out
Design labels on the cascade are in. FAE, foundry, factory, and sales are struck. 172 adds both shops.
