Analog and Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer

Job Description:

Responsibilities include:

• Design analog blocks, systems or sub-systems using a combination of behavioral modeling tools and transistor-level circuit design tools.
• Must be capable of implementing and optimizing circuit architectures and transistor-level circuit solutions to achieve a variety of challenging performance, power consumption and cost requirements.
• Help take responsibility for projects with a team of analog and digital engineers.
• Draw or oversee the drawing of the custom physical layout of these circuits.
• Work with others to define circuit board components to be used with these circuits.
• Define requirements for internal chip interfaces between the analog and digital circuits.
• Review the chip package pinout/ballout and review and revise the chip package route with package layout engineers.
• Design and/or review the PC test board schematics used for testing the IC performance.
• Characterize the performance of these ICs using lab equipment.
• Debug performance problems found during characterization of these analog circuits.
• Work with automatic test engineers (ATE) to develop production tests for these circuits.
• Document the operation and performance of these analog circuits.
• The candidate will be responsible for the design of critical IPs such as opamps, comparators, bandgaps, ADCs, DACs, current sensors, temperature sensors, LDOs, rectifiers, buck converters, boost converters, buck-boost converters and battery chargers.
• The applicant could be an individual contributor or direct small design teams to facilitate the architecture definition, design, verification, and documentation of IC products.
• Simulation verification includes corner simulation, monte-carlo mismatch analysis, aging, and device over-voltage stress analysis for both pre and postlayout efforts.

Requirements:

• Proficiency in analog design and in-depth knowledge of CMOS devices.
• In-depth knowledge of analog and high-voltage layout techniques.
• Knowledge of switched power supplies, high-voltage BCD technologies and high-voltage/power circuitry is highly desirable.
• Intuitive understanding and ability to optimize circuit power, area, and performance.
• Skill running simulations, doing layout design and performing verification and extraction.
• Design environment/experience with CAD tools and thorough working knowledge of Cadence design tools.
• Transistor-level design (Cadence Analog artist).
• Layout tools (Cadence Virtuoso).
• Verification/extraction.
• Experimental verification/ATE support.
• Bench testing knowledge for post-silicon evaluation is a plus.
• Good communication skills.
• Able to work in a team environment.

Education and Experience:

• Bachelors in Engineering and 8+ years of related experience; or
• Masters degree in Engineering and 6+ years of related experience; or
• PhD in Engineering and 3+ years of related experience
