Job description

Principal Analog Design Engineer

Join to apply for the Principal Analog Design Engineer role at ams OSRAM

Senior Expert Candidate Experience & TA Excellence at ams OSRAM

Responsible for design leadership and development of ultra‑high performance, low noise analog solutions associated with mixed signal IC’s from initial concept, until production ramp, including design for manufacturability, yield, test, and reliability.

Responsibilities

• Performs and supervises detailed design, simulation, verification, and validation of integrated circuits.
• Directs and supervises block‑level and top‑level layout activities to ensure optimum circuit performance.
• Expert‑level knowledge and experience designing for system/application‑level concerns, including packaging, parasitics, power, die size, cost, etc.
• “Power User” level knowledge of SPICE/Spectre testbench creation and simulations, including PVT, Monte‑Carlo, mixed‑signal, modelling, optimisation, etc.
• Provides positive internal team leadership and communication, coordination of design requirements and trade‑offs, and preparation for weekly meetings (internal and customer).
• Analog design subject‑matter expert level communication with customer (and/or marketing), including presentation in design reviews, representing the analog design team on weekly conference calls, defining/tracking/working to ensure schedule adherence, interactive problem solving, and customer communication under pressure, etc.
• Highly creative problem solver, able to generate innovative, next‑generation IP and file patents.
• Generation of detailed relevant documentation, including architectural/concept reviews, design gate reviews, internal design documents, test requirements, etc.
• Calm professional demeanor and excellent listening skills.
• Ability to mentor.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 15 years of experience or PhD with 12 years of experience – with an emphasis in analog / mixed signal Integrated Circuit Design.
• Experience with technical leadership in mixed signal IC Design, block level specifications, simulation, modelling, optimisation of layout for performance, etc.
• “Expert level” transistor level design knowledge and experience of standard analog building blocks, including Bandgap references, current references, OPAMP, LDO, charge pumps and such for ultra‑low noise performance in CMOS processes. Design experience in ADC is a plus.
• Excellent communication skills (both oral and written) are required, as customer‑level technical interface and design/team leadership is necessary under pressure situations.
• Experience with relevant CAD tools (including Cadence Virtuoso, SPICE, etc.)
• Excellent team player – as the role requires internal team leadership.
