Omni Design Technologies, Inc.; Austin (CO); On-site; USD 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Omni Design Technologies, Inc. seeks a Senior Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer to drive high-performance ADC/DAC development from spec to product launch. You will lead transistor-level design, supervise layout, and evaluate silicon while coordinating with global teams.

The ideal candidate has 5+ years in analog/mixed-signal ICs, deep understanding of noise/mismatch, and hands-on experience with Cadence tools; MATLAB is a plus.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in high-performance analog or mixed-signal IC development in advanced CMOS processes.
• Experience with ADC/DAC data converter design techniques and building blocks (bandgap, op-amps, comparators, oscillators, DLL/PLL).
• Track record of taking designs to production and evaluating silicon on bench.
• Strong transistor-level circuit design understanding including noise and mismatch.
• Experience with analogue and digital behavioral modeling and synthesis of digital control blocks.
• Familiar with Cadence schematic capture, Virtuoso, Spectre and/or HSPICE tools.
• Might have MATLAB knowledge; ESD and electromigration aware design in submicron CMOS.
• Layout parasitic extraction tooling and layout-dependent impairments knowledge.
• Ability to work independently, meet schedules, and communicate across dispersed teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead transistor-level design from initial specification through design and layout supervision.
• Oversee silicon evaluation and characterization to enable product introduction.
• Collaborate with teams across different geographic locations to ensure design integrity.
• Develop and validate analog/mixed-signal building blocks and control loops.

Job description

Senior Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer focusing on high-performance analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. The successful candidate in this role will do high performance transistor level design starting from initial specification, through design and layout supervision, silicon evaluation and characterization to final product introduction to market.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in high-performance analog or mixed-signal IC development in advanced CMOS processes
• Thorough familiarity with high-speed, high-resolution analog-to-digital (ADC) or digital-to-analog (DAC) data converter design techniques. Experience in designing high performance building block circuits such as bandgap reference, op-amp, comparators, oscillators, DLL, PLL etc.
• Must have a track record of successfully taking designs to production
• Must have experience with evaluating silicon on bench and familiarity with standard lab equipment
• Strong intuitive and analytical understanding of transistor-level circuit design including noise and mismatch analysis
• Experience with analog and digital behavioral modeling, and/or synthesis of digital control blocks
• Familiar with Cadence schematic capture, virtuoso, Spectre and/or HSPICE circuit simulation tools
• MATLAB understanding would be preferred but not mandatory
• Familiar with designing circuits for electromigration and ESD compliance in submicron CMOS process
• Must be familiar with layout parasitic extraction tools and layout dependent impairments in advanced CMOS processes
• Must be able to work independently, create and adhere to schedules
• Must possess strong written and verbal communication skills with an ability to work with teams spread across geographic locations
• Should be able to seek help proactively as well as share and pass on knowledge
