About the Job

Requirements

A Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering is required.
10+ years of relevant experience is stated in the minimum qualifications, although the posting labels it preferred.
Deep knowledge of ADC/DAC architectures and selecting architectures suitable for applications is required.
Deep knowledge of bandgaps, bias circuits, operational amplifiers, switched-capacitor circuits, low-dropout regulators, feedback, and compensation techniques is required.
Significant knowledge of low-noise design techniques is required.
Significant knowledge of high-precision techniques in the presence of device mismatch is required.
Experience with C, MATLAB, and Verilog modeling is required.
Strong device physics knowledge as applied to analog integrated-circuit designs is required.
Experience using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and signal generators to validate analog designs is required.
Extensive experience working with production test engineers to establish test plans and design-for-testability details is required.

Responsibilities

Specify the analog portions of integrated circuits.
Perform behavioral modeling to validate architectures.
Conduct transistor-level feasibility studies for various blocks in ADCs and DACs.
Craft circuit blocks and document designs for formal design reviews.
Drive mask design to implement layout views of designs.
Run top-level simulations to validate top-level integration.
Define production- and bench-level test plans.
Take laboratory measurements to validate analog designs.
Drive and review yield and laboratory test results to identify and fix bugs.
Design for electrostatic discharge compliance.

Desired Qualifications

A proven track record of taking chips to production in the listed analog IC design areas.
