• Provide technical guidance to less experienced engineers.

Requirements

• MSc/PhD in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related discipline.
• 5+ years' experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design.
• Strong hands-on experience across the full analog IC design flow.
• Experience with 65nm, 28nm or below CMOS technologies.
• Strong knowledge of full-custom analog layout and extracted-level verification.
• Experience with Cadence or Synopsys analog/mixed-signal EDA tools.
• Experience taking designs through silicon, characterisation and productisation is highly desirable.
• Excellent written and spoken English.

Why Join?

A chance to work on cutting-edge high-speed communication technology, influence new architectures and products, and play a senior technical role within a highly skilled engineering team.
