Description

Seeking an experienced analog/mixed-signal design engineer for developing complex mixed‑signal ICs for Timing and Infrastructure applications. The position requires a strong analog mixed‑signal design background, including a strong history of innovative product and IP definition and design. Depending on experience level, the individual will participate in product roadmaps, definition, technology selection, design, and verification. The individual will have a role in defining and implementing the overall system architecture, designing transistor‑level analog circuit blocks, simulating sub‑system performance, creating and using behavioral models of blocks and the entire IC, doing and/or supervising physical layout, verifying circuit and chip‑level operation and performance, and assisting with tape‑out related activities. Responsibilities will also include detailed documentation, silicon evaluation and debugging, production test development support, customer support, and other activities as required for the achievement of high volume production.

Responsibilities

• Architects, designs and verifies circuits, logic, systems, algorithms, etc. to meet product requirements
• Determine design approaches and parameters
• Develops innovative new designs for patenting or protecting as trade secret
• Demonstrates good judgment in solving a broad range of issues, based on an advanced understanding of industry practices and company policies and procedures
• Responsible for custom layout, including overseeing the work of layout designers
• Reports on design results through design reviews, in accordance with company quality requirements and resolves action items generated as a result of these reviews
• Attends design reviews to provide input and learn from other designers’ experiences
• Research design techniques through technical publications and seminars
• Supports marketing in product definition
• Having a wide-ranging experience uses professional concepts and company objectives to resolve complex issues in creative and effective way
• Determines methods and procedures on new assignments and may coordinate the activities of other personnel

Required Experience and Skills

• A technology‑related master’s degree or equivalent training and 8 or more years of analog/mixed‑signal design experience developing mixed‑signal ICs
• An advanced degree may reduce the minimum experience required.
• Strong knowledge of engineering fundamentals
• Advanced knowledge of CMOS fabrication processes
• Advanced knowledge of MOS transistors and analog/digital circuit design
• Knowledge of complex AD/DC analysis (poles, zeros, compensation)
• Advanced signal analysis knowledge
• Basic understanding of CMOS and BCD parasitic junctions and the risks associated with them
• Strong parasitic analysis knowledge (capacitance, resistance, power grid)
• Advanced knowledge of circuit building blocks (e.g., OPAMP, gm‑C filters, switch capacitors, ADC, DAC, state‑machines, and bus interfaces)
• Advanced understanding of layout tradeoffs for performance and size
• Advanced design skills in system modeling
• Strong knowledge of UNIX, Matlab, and circuit simulation tools
• Proficiency in layout verification, DRC, LVS

Desired Experience and Skills

• Working knowledge of device physics
• Working knowledge of digital design and design flows
• System knowledge (e.g., High Performance PLLs)
• Knowledge of scripting language (python, shell, skill)
• Advanced laboratory measurement skills (analog, digital)
• Knowledge of MS Office documentation, spreadsheet, presentation tools or equivalent tools
• Familiarity with quality systems documentation and procedures
• Competency with design tools
• Excellent written and verbal presentation skills
