About the role
This role involves designing, developing, and optimizing high-speed analog circuits in advanced process nodes, contributing to memory interface PHYs.
What you'll do
- Design, develop, and build analog circuits for advanced process nodes.
- Perform circuit design, validation, extraction of chip parameters, and simulation of analog behavior models.
- Optimize circuits for power efficiency, performance, area, timing, and yield goals.
- Create test plans to verify designs against block microarchitecture specifications and evaluate test results.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define design specifications, collect feedback, and resolve design issues.
- Conduct layout reviews and ensure optimal placement and routing.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent specialized field.
- 10+ years with Master's degree, or 4+ years with PhD in analog circuit design.
- Proficiency with industry-standard tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, PrimeSim, HSPICE, ADE, and Custom Compiler.
- Expertise in designing high-speed analog circuits such as TX/RX blocks, PLLs, DLLs, SerDes, and voltage regulators.
- Strong fundamentals in CMOS design, circuit simulation, and high-speed analog design concepts.
- Familiarity with DRC, LVS, and post-layout extraction tools.
Nice to have
- Experience in post-silicon debug, electrical validation, and correlating measurements to simulations.
- Knowledge of scripting languages such as TCL, Perl, Python, or C for design automation tasks.
- Familiarity with modeling and simulation of high-speed interface interconnects and channels.
