Analog & Mixed-Signal Design
About the role
This role involves specifying analog portions of ICs, conducting behavioral modeling, and executing transistor-level designs for data converters. Responsibilities span feasibility studies through tape-out, silicon bring-up, and production test definition.
What you'll do
- Define specifications for analog portions of the IC and build behavioral models to validate architectures.
- Perform transistor-level feasibility studies for various blocks in ADC and DAC circuits.
- Design circuit blocks and document implementation details for formal design reviews.
- Drive mask design to implement layout views and run top-level simulations to validate integration.
- Define production- and bench-level test plans and take lab measurements to validate analog designs.
- Drive and review yield and lab test results to implement bug fixes, ensuring design for ESD compliance.
What you'll need
- BS degree and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
- Experience delivering analog IC specifications, behavioral modeling, and transistor-level design.
- Hands-on background in bench validation, lab measurements, and top-level simulation integration.
Nice to have
- Deep knowledge of ADC/DAC architectures and their suitability for specific applications.
- Deep knowledge of band-gaps, bias circuits, op-amps, switched-cap circuits, LDOs, feedback, and compensation techniques.
- Significant knowledge of low noise design techniques and high precision techniques in the presence of device mismatch.
- Experience in C, Matlab, or Verilog modeling.
- Strong device physics knowledge as it applies to analog IC designs.
- Hands-on experience using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and signal generators to validate analog designs.
- Extensive experience working with production test engineers to establish test plans and design for testability (DFT) details.
