Analog & Mixed-Signal Design
About the role
This role involves developing complex mixed-signal ICs for Timing and Infrastructure applications.
What you'll do
- Architect, design, and verify circuits, logic, and systems to meet product requirements.
- Define and implement the overall system architecture.
- Design transistor-level analog circuit blocks and simulate sub-system performance.
- Create and use behavioral models of blocks and the entire IC.
- Oversee custom layout and verify circuit and chip-level operation and performance.
- Support detailed documentation, silicon evaluation, and production test development.
What you'll need
- MS + 8-12 years of Analog Mixed Signal IC design experience or PhD + 6-9 years of Analog Mixed Signal IC design experience.
- Advanced knowledge of CMOS fabrication processes.
- Advanced knowledge of MOS transistors and analog/digital circuit design.
- Knowledge of complex AD/DC analysis (poles, zeros, compensation).
- Advanced signal analysis knowledge.
- Strong parasitic analysis knowledge (capacitance, resistance, power grid).
- Advanced knowledge of circuit building blocks (e.g., OPAMP, gm-C filters, switch capacitors, ADC, DAC, state-machines, and bus interfaces).
- Advanced understanding of layout tradeoffs for performance and size.
- Advanced design skills in system modeling.
- Strong knowledge of UNIX, Matlab, and circuit simulation tools.
- Proficiency in layout verification, DRC, LVS.
Nice to have
- Working knowledge of device physics.
- Working knowledge of digital design and design flows.
- System knowledge (e.g., High Performance PLLs).
- Knowledge of scripting language (python, shell, skill).
- Advanced laboratory measurement skills (analog, digital).
- Familiarity with quality systems documentation and procedures.
- Competency with design tools.
