Engineering program manager Jobs in Austin, TX

Description

The position requires a deep analog circuit design background including a strong history of managing innovative product and IP development. The desired individual will lead the technical aspects of product roadmap definition, technology selection, and design implementation. The individual will manage a team responsible for 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 to achieve high volume production.

Responsibilities

• Management of an IC Design group in the Analog/Power IC Design group
• Work with other managers in the Design Group and Marketing Group to plan roadmaps and next generation products
• Coordinate team meeting logistics to ensure efficient communication, learning and collaboration
• Set the technical standard for the architecture, design, layout and verification of circuits, systems, algorithms, etc. to meet product requirements
• Develop innovative new designs for patenting or protecting as trade secrets
• Manage and mentor design engineers in the group
• Participate and contribute to product definition
• Balance innovation with execution: to ensure that the projects are delivered in a timely manner
• Demonstrate good judgment in solving a broad range of issues, based on an advanced understanding of industry practices and company policies and procedures
• Responsible for the quality of custom layout, including overseeing the work of layout designers
• Responsible for interviewing and hiring new full-time engineers as well as summer interns for the group
• Report on design results through design reviews, in accordance with company quality requirements and resolves action items generated as a result of these reviews
• Attend all project design reviews and define the technical standard for all team members to maintain high quality design choices, action item definition and clarity of documentation
• Research design techniques through familiarity with previous product design choices, technical publications and seminars

Required Experience and Skills

Education and Work Experience:

• BS + 12 years/MS + 8 years/PhD + 5 years or more years of developing high performance analog, mixed signal and/or power solutions in CMOS/BiCMOS/HV technologies

Minimum requirements:

• Advanced knowledge of MOS transistors and analog circuit design
• Knowledge of complex AC/DC analysis (poles, zeros, compensation), loop dynamics and feedback systems
• Advanced knowledge of device physics and CMOS/BiCMOS fabrication processes
• Previous design experience with a wide range of complex mixed signal design problems
• Advanced knowledge in signals, systems and transforms
• Experience with end to end design flow from product definition to high volume manufacturing including support of production test, applications validation and manufacturing problem solving
• Experience mentoring and leading a team of mixed signal designers that has delivered silicon success
• Strong experience mentoring junior engineers
• Comfortable making complex technical judgements at the chip level that involve tradeoffs in risk, area, power, schedule and performance
• Experience in chip level simulation strategies that make a rational balance between schedule and risk
• Strong knowledge of circuit simulation tools, layout verification tools, modeling tools, and UNIX

Desired Experience and Skills

• Knowledge of high voltage processes and design in BCD and/or SOI type processes
• Advanced MOS Device modeling skills (noise, excess thermal noise, DIBL)
• Exceptional laboratory measurement skills (analog, RF-as req.)
• System knowledge (e.g., isolators) and advanced design skills in system modeling
• Strong knowledge of circuit simulation tools, layout verification tools, Matlab, and UNIX
• Familiarity with quality systems documentation and procedures
• Excellent written and verbal presentation skills
