Staff Electrical Engineer - Nashua, NH, United States

This role focuses on developing complex mixed-signal ICs for Timing and Infrastructure applications.

About the role

This role involves the design, verification, and support of complex mixed-signal ICs for Timing and Infrastructure applications. You will be defining and implementing the overall system architecture, designing transistor-level analog circuit blocks, and verifying chip-level operation.

What you'll do

• Architect, design, and verify circuits, logic, and systems to meet product requirements.
• Determine design approaches and parameters.
• Develop innovative new designs for patenting or protecting as trade secret.
• Responsible for custom layout, including overseeing the work of layout designers.
• Report on design results through design reviews.
• Support marketing in product definition.

What you'll need

• 8 or more years of analog/mixed-signal design experience developing mixed-signal ICs.
• 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).
• 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 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).

Skills: analog/mixed-signal design, timing ICs, PLLs, ADCs/DACs, CMOS fabrication, behavioral models
