Job description

Our Team:

Semtech Corporation is a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors for high-end consumer, enterprise computing, communications, and industrial equipment. As our future market opportunities have increased in recent years, we have continued to invest in disruptive analog platforms and have created innovative new solutions for a wide range of leading edge products.

The Sensing Product Group has unique expertise in system level platform solutions for Sensing Products including Touch & Proximity. These are leading edge low power touch-interface solutions integrated with highly accurate ADCs for enhanced sensing performance. These ultra-small, feature-rich sensing systems are optimized for a wide range of battery-powered, portable applications such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, wearables, handheld devices and other consumer or ITA control applications.

Job Summary:

The Senior Staff Analog Engineer is responsible for designing, simulating and validating a variety of analog functions such as ADCs, references, charge pumps, oscillators, pads. Ahead of detailed design, the Senior Staff Analog Engineer will actively participate in the definition of the chip, systems, and blocks including interactions with digital or other devices, and cross functional teams.

The role also includes supervision and frequent interactions with layout engineers, silicon measurements or their supervision, support to production test engineers, and definition of test methodology.

Responsibilities:

• System design, from top-level specification analysis to system optimization. (25%)
• Analog block design, from specification definition to support to production. (25%)
• Design & optimization, verification, technical documentation, layout supervision. (20%)
• Silicon lab evaluation, characterization and debug. (10%)
• Block or system modelling. (5%)
• Technical support to test, product and application engineers. (10%)
• Interface with digital, firmware, verification, layout and cross functional teams. (5%)

Minimum Qualifications:

• 7+ years' experience in analog CMOS integrated circuit design
• M.S. in EE or higher
• Strong analytical, synthesis and problem solving skills
• Solid understanding and experience in designing transistor-level CMOS analog and mixed-signal blocks and systems, including IC technology and layout, with blocks such as ADCs, DACs, sensor interfaces, switched-capacitor blocks, power management, LDO regulators, bandgap, biasing circuits, amplifiers, oscillators, PLLs, comparators, filters, physical IOs etc.
• In-depth knowledge of analog mixed-signal concepts, techniques and trade-offs like speed, power, noise, mismatch, linearity, stability, area
• Strong knowledge of IC design CAD tools including schematic entry, Spice and mixed-mode simulation tools
• Experience with lab instruments (e.g. oscilloscopes, supplies, meters) and the associated measurement methods
• Independent, self-motivated, rigorous, innovative, team player and able to follow through
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Knowledge of system-level aspects: signal processing, mixed-signal, digital, modelling, test and application

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience with high-resolution, low-power ADC architectures, design and techniques
• Experience with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/AFS, Siemens Symphony, Matlab, Verilog/VHDL etc.
• Experience with analog/mixed-signal behavioral model development/verification
• Experience with consumer and/or ITA market circuit developments
