• Must have a track record of successfully taking designs to production
• Ability to work with customers to define products that address needs
• 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
