About the Job

Requirements

A BSc, MSc, MEng, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field, with proven relevant professional experience in mixed-signal complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor circuit design.
Deep understanding of analog design flows, including architecture, design, and design integration.
Strong skills in complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor analog design and layout of high-precision, low-power circuits.
Hands-on laboratory test and debugging experience with a range of laboratory equipment.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Ability to operate effectively in a high-functioning interdependent team.

Responsibilities

Own and develop advanced solutions for complex mixed-signal products and associated circuitry from concept and architecture through design, design integration, and production, while considering competing solutions and commercial pressures.
Model solutions using tools such as Matlab, Simulink, Spectre, and AMS Designer.
Implement designs at the transistor level.
Design and verify key analog and mixed-signal building blocks, including analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, low-dropout regulators, direct-current/direct-current converters, phase-locked loops, oscillators, operational amplifiers, analog front ends, and other precision analog circuits.
Oversee layout implementation and perform post-layout simulations and optimization.
Perform hands-on laboratory checkout, silicon learning, and debugging.
Support post-silicon activities, including product validation, characterization, and production testing.

Desired Qualifications

Knowledge of discrete-time and continuous-time signal processing, including analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter design.
Experience designing low-power and high-performance analog circuits, including voltage and current references, oscillators, phase-locked loops, low-dropout regulators, direct-current/direct-current converters, operational amplifiers, and analog front ends.
Experience in system and behavioral modeling.
Experience designing for different complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor processes and aggressive geometry nodes.
Understanding of reliability concerns.
Understanding of scripting languages such as Tcl, Perl, and Python.
