What you'll do
- Architect, design, simulate, and characterize analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits.
- Oversee layout of high-performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits.
- Design precision amplifiers and comparators, voltage references, bias circuits, oscillators, clock generation circuits, ADCs, DACs, and power management building blocks.
- Develop mixed-signal control and calibration circuits.
- Collaborate with system architects, digital designers, product teams, and customers.
- Provide technical leadership and mentor engineers.
What you'll need
- BSEE with 15+ years of relevant industry experience.
- Strong analog IC design experience at the transistor level.
- Experience designing amplifiers, comparators, voltage references, bias circuits, oscillators, ADCs/DACs, or mixed-signal subsystems.
- Experience with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, and analog verification tools.
- Strong understanding of analog circuit design fundamentals, device physics, noise analysis, stability and compensation techniques, and matching and PVT variation analysis.
- Hands-on silicon characterization and debug experience.
Nice to have
- M.S. or Ph.D. degrees with 15+ years of experience.
- Familiarity with RF transceiver and front-end architectures, trade-offs, and system specifications.
- End-to-end analog/RFIC development experience from definition to productization.
- Solid knowledge of device physics over PVT and frequency.
- Knowledge of data analysis and programming tools such as MATLAB, JMP, Spotfire, and ADS AEL.
