Job description

Our team is designing the next generation data converters for our world class test equipment. This is a small team environment in a great location, that has a history of very successful devices that have been designed into our industry leading test and measurement equipment. You’ll find our System on Chip (SoC) solutions embedded in R&S instruments in labs all over the world. Our R&D office is in Hillsboro, west of Portland, Oregon. We have a light, quiet, and modern work environment in a new building. This is a hybrid work position. We believe that close, personal interactions are needed for a successful team but understand that people occasionally need to work from home.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement high speed (>20GHz) analog/mixed-signal circuits for data converters and RF SOCs in advanced CMOS/BiCMOS technology for integration in high performance mixed-signal SoCs.
• Design, simulate, analyze, model, document and communicate integrated circuit IP.
• Understand system level design requirements as applied to integrated circuit design.
• Characterization and debugging of analog IC designs for testing and measurement equipment.
• Meet deadlines and schedules as part of a team

Qualifications

• MS degree in electrical engineering, with 5+ years of experience in IC Design.
• Thorough understanding of detailed analog circuit design and the ability to design independently various functional blocks.
• In-depth understanding of BiCMOS and CMOS process technologies
• Knowledge in the design and operation of the following analog blocks: low noise high linearity amplifiers and mixers, VCOs, filters, line drivers, power amplifiers, mixed analog / custom digital circuits, basic analog building blocks (op amps, comparators, current sources, current mirrors, voltage references)
• Good knowledge of RF engineering, specifically transmission lines theory, matching, RF device models
• Good knowledge of high speed data converters principles
• Understanding of simulation models, design rules, and verification procedures (DRC/LVS/ERC)
• Experience with design details such as: minimizing device mismatch, noise, signal coupling, ESD, circuit stability.
• Experience designing analog integrated circuits for a complex mixed signal SoCs from creation into production.
• Work effectively in a group setting (share expertise, provide and receive feedback, communicate technical issues, work in a team environment to resolve technical issues)
• Communicate effectively with both internal and external customers in English
• Tools Requirement: transistor level design tools (Cadence Analog Artist, Explorer), layout tools (Cadence Virtuoso), verification/extraction, experience with documentation, and system level design tools (e.g. Matlab, Verilog-AMS, etc.).
• External candidates must be US residents have valid US work authorization to be considered
