Analog and Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer

About the role

Design critical analog 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 candidate may serve as an individual contributor or direct small design teams to facilitate architecture definition, design, verification, and documentation of IC products.

Responsibilities

• Design analog blocks, systems, or sub-systems using behavioral modeling tools and transistor-level circuit design tools.
• Implement and optimize circuit architectures and transistor-level solutions to meet performance, power consumption, and cost requirements.
• Collaborate with a team of analog and digital engineers on project responsibilities.
• Draw or oversee the custom physical layout of circuits.
• Define circuit board components for use with analog circuits.
• Establish requirements for internal chip interfaces between analog and digital circuits.
• Review and revise chip package pinout/ballout and routing with package layout engineers.
• Design and/or review PC test board schematics for IC performance testing.
• Characterize IC performance using lab equipment and debug performance issues.
• Work with automatic test engineers (ATE) to develop production tests.
• Document the operation and performance of analog circuits.
• Perform simulation verification, including corner simulation, Monte-Carlo mismatch analysis, aging, and device over-voltage stress analysis for pre- and post-layout 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.
• Ability to optimize circuit power, area, and performance.
• Experience with simulation, layout design, verification, and extraction.
• Design environment/experience with CAD tools, particularly Cadence design tools (Analog Artist, Virtuoso).
• Experience with transistor-level design, verification/extraction, and experimental verification/ATE support.
• Bench testing knowledge for post-silicon evaluation is a plus.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work in a team environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree and 8+ years of related experience; or
• Master’s degree and 6+ years of related experience; or
• PhD and 3+ years of related experience.
