Descripción de la vacante

Encore Semi, Inc. in California seeks an experienced Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer to architect and tape out high-speed data converters (ADCs/DACs) for 7nm–3nm FinFET processes. You will own the full design cycle—from system architecture to post-silicon validation—for HPC, AI, and communications hardware.

The role demands hands-on development of time-interleaved SAR, pipeline, and RF-DAC architectures, plus layout supervision and calibration techniques to ensure peak performance.

Formación

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 10+ years of hands-on high-speed data converter design and silicon tape-outs.
• FinFET expertise in 3nm/5nm/7nm nodes.
• Familiar with FinFET design constraints (fin quantization, gm/gds, 3D RC extraction).
• Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre/PrimeSim, Calibre PEX/Quantus experience.

Responsabilidades

• Architect and design multi-GS/s ADC/DAC architectures (Time-Interleaved SAR, Pipeline, Flash, or RF-DACs).
• Deliver transistor-level circuits (track-and-hold, comparators, low-jitter clock paths, bias networks) in 7nm–3nm FinFET processes.
• Implement background/foreground digital calibration for offset, gain, timing skew, and linearity.
• Supervise layout to mitigate layout-dependent effects (LDE), parasitics, electromigration, and self-heating.
• Lead post-silicon lab bring-up, bench testing, and model-to-hardware correlation.
