Analog IC Design and Verification Engineer

Description

If you are a motivated engineer with skills and interest in leading the verification, testing, and qualification of analog and RF IP that pushes the bounds of performance in most of the phones sold today, then Skyworks’ IP team is looking for you!

As part of the company’s IP development team you will work on analog control blocks and RF technologies for all of Skyworks’ RF products and contribute to the development of IP circuit block designs that are used across the company.

Responsibilities

• Lead the lab testing and evaluation of analog IP including fuses and other OTP/NVM, temperature sensors, LNA bias DACs, NVG charge pumps, MIPI interfaces, SWIPI interfaces
• Lead the lab testing and evaluation of RF IP, including LNA and switch designs in new technologies
• Lead the lab testing and evaluation of fuses and other OTP/NVM IPs
• Verify analog and RF IP designs in simulation
• Lead the OTP lab verification qualification process to ensure reliability of polysilicon fuses across billions of fuses in multiple Si and SOI processes
• Coordinate design of experiments (DOE) testing to select the correct programming voltage/current profile of fuses
• Work with test engineering team to gather qualification data on blown and unblown fuses
• Work with our foundry partners and modelling team on defining the fuse blow recipe and review foundry-provided data
• Ensure OTP qualification schedules meet the required product sample and tape-out schedules
• Work with the IP design engineers to ensure the functionality and reliability of new IP designs
• Maintain qualification, lab review and design review records in our IP catalog
• Contribute to IP verification in simulation before tape-out
