Senior Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer
Summary
Senior analog/mixed-signal IC design engineer who takes high-performance ADC/DAC data converters from spec through transistor-level design, layout supervision, silicon evaluation, and production in advanced CMOS. Daily work centers on Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre or HSPICE circuit design, bench silicon characterization, and behavioral modeling.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in high-performance analog or mixed-signal IC development in advanced CMOS processes
- Thorough familiarity with high-speed, high-resolution analog-to-digital (ADC) or digital-to-analog (DAC) data converter design techniques. Experience in designing high performance building block circuits such as bandgap reference, op-amp, comparators, oscillators, DLL, PLL etc.
- Must have a track record of successfully taking designs to production
- Must have experience with evaluating silicon on bench and familiarity with standard lab equipment
- Strong intuitive and analytical understanding of transistor-level circuit design including noise and mismatch analysis
- Experience with analog and digital behavioral modeling, and/or synthesis of digital control blocks
- Familiar with Cadence schematic capture, virtuoso, Spectre and/or HSPICE circuit simulation tools
- MATLAB understanding would be preferred but not mandatory
- Familiar with designing circuits for electromigration and ESD compliance in submicron CMOS process
- Must be familiar with layout parasitic extraction tools and layout dependent impairments in advanced CMOS processes
- Must be able to work independently, create and adhere to schedules
- Must possess strong written and verbal communication skills with an ability to work with teams spread across geographic locations
- Should be able to seek help proactively as well as share and pass on knowledge
