Job summary

Omni Design Technologies, Inc. in Milpitas, CA seeks a Senior Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer to drive high-performance ADC and DAC design, from initial spec through layout supervision and silicon evaluation to market introduction.

You will work on transistor-level circuits, block design, and ESD/EMI considerations, with teams across multiple locations. Strong communication and independent work style are essential for success.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in high-performance analog or mixed-signal IC development in advanced CMOS processes.
• Familiar with high-speed, high-resolution ADC/DAC design techniques and building blocks (bandgap, op-amps, comparators, oscillators, DLL/PLL).
• Track record of taking designs to production.
• Experience evaluating silicon on bench with standard lab equipment.
• Strong understanding of transistor-level circuit design, noise and mismatch analysis.

Responsibilities

• Lead high-performance analog/mixed-signal design from spec to layout supervision, silicon evaluation, and product introduction.
• Design and optimize critical blocks (bandgap references, op-amps, comparators, oscillators, DLL/PLL).
• Ensure layout parasitics are accounted for and devices meet ESD/EM requirements.
• Collaborate with teams across locations and communicate results clearly.

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
