Sr Analog IC Design Engineer

Responsibilities

• Ownership of Analog designs at chip and/or block level
• Define optimal architectures to achieve competitive product specifications
• Design, simulate and characterize high-performance and high-speed circuits (e.g. Transmitter, Receiver, ADC, DAC, LDO, PLL, DLL, PI circuits).
• Create high level model for design tradeoff analysis and behavior model for verification simulations
• Create floorplan and work with layout team to demonstrate post extraction performance
• Document analysis and simulation to show that design achieves critical electrical, timing parameters and pre-silicon verification flow
• Work with the Lab/System team for test plan, silicon bring up and characterization
• Understand and disseminate applicable standards and its relevance in a given project to the team
• Mentor junior designers

Qualifications

• MS EE and 5+ years or PhD EE and 2+ years’ experience of CMOS analog circuit design. Position may be tailored appropriately with different level of experience.
• Prior experience in at least one of the following circuits: Transmitter, Receiver (with CTLE, DFE), PLL, DLL, PI, clock distribution
• Good knowledge of design principles for practical design tradeoffs
• Fundamental knowledge of basic building blocks like bias, op-amp and LDO
• Experience in designing memory interfaces such as DDR 4/5 or serial links such as PCIE is highly desirable
• Prior design experience in FinFET process and digitally assisted design is desirable
• Experience in modeling with matlab, Verilog-A, verilog is desirable
• Experience working in leading R&D and future technology development projects is desirable
• The position requires good written & verbal communication skills as well a strong commitment and ability to work in cross functional and globally dispersed teams
