Mixed Signal Design Engineer

About the Role

As a Mixed Signal Design Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and developing mixed-signal integrated circuits, including ADCs, DACs, PLLs, and power management blocks. You’ll work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to deliver robust mixed-signal solutions while growing your technical expertise. This role requires a good foundation in both analog and digital domains, with the ability to integrate these technologies to create high-performance semiconductor solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Circuit Design & Development: Design and develop mixed-signal ICs including power management ICs, ADCs, DACs, and PLLs while working under moderate guidance.
• Verification & Testing: Perform schematic design, verification, and lab characterization of ICs to ensure they meet required specifications.
• Simulation & Analysis: Conduct simulations for performance requirements, noise analysis, timing requirements, and power optimization.
• Integration: Integrate analog and digital IP to ensure robust performance across various operating conditions.
• Test Planning: Develop and execute test plans for block-level and system-level verification.
• Documentation: Create and maintain detailed technical documentation for designs, specifications, and test results.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work with teams across disciplines to implement designs and support silicon validation efforts.

Must Have Skills

• Mixed-signal IC Design: Apply fundamental principles and techniques to design mixed-signal circuits with guidance from senior engineers.
• CMOS Technology: Utilize understanding of CMOS processes and device characteristics in circuit implementation.
• ADC/DAC Design: Apply knowledge of converter architectures and principles in developing data converter blocks.
• Simulation & Modeling: Conduct circuit simulations using tools like SPICE, MATLAB, and Cadence Design Suite to verify performance.
• EDA Tool Proficiency: Use industry-standard design automation tools (Cadence, Synopsys) for schematic creation and verification.
• Lab Testing: Perform laboratory characterization and testing of circuit blocks and ICs using appropriate test equipment.
• Problem Solving: Provide resolutions to moderately complex mixed-signal design problems using judgment within defined practices.
• Teamwork: Effectively participate in team efforts and begin providing technical guidance to junior members.
• Communication: Clearly document designs and communicate technical concepts to cross-functional stakeholders.

Preferred Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 2+ years of relevant mixed-signal design experience.
