Principal AnalogMixedSignal IC Design Engineer

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Designer will be responsible for the design of high performance analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks. Responsibilities include transistor level, block level and module level circuit architecture, design, simulation, optimization, layout supervision, layout verification, preparation of test plan for the test group, product characterization, reliability and yield assessment and modeling, simulation to bench and bench to test correlation, bench evaluation both at silicon level and at applications level, and documentation.

Job responsibilities require ability to communicate at all levels and with cross functional groups. Candidate must have good verbal and written communications skills and demonstrated track record of circuit innovation, must be a team player, be adaptable, and accept criticism.

• Must have experience in at least one preferably multiple area of full CMOS circuit design and development in:
  • Amplifiers – operational, instrumentation, wide‑bandwidth etc.
  • PMIC – Linear and switched regulators, Low‑drop out regulators etc.
  • Data converters – ADC, DAC, Flash and SAR type
• Must have experience in 40 nm and below CMOS technology
• Must have a demonstrable track record of successful design releases and mass production
• Must have thorough knowledge of industry standard EDA tools (Cadence, Mentor, Siemens, Ansys etc.)
• Experience with analog layout techniques of mismatch reduction, gradient suppression, parasitic effects minimization
• Experience with floor planning, block level routing and top level chip routing
• Knowledge of high performance and deep CMOS analog reliability considerations such as EM‑IR, SOA and VDR and relevant mitigation techniques
• Functional knowledge of logic digital circuits and understanding of basic digital design flow
• Experience working with distributed design teams a plus
• Must possess strong written and verbal communication skills
• BSEE with 10+ years of experience
