Analog IC Design Engineer, AMS

About the role

Join a cutting-edge team at the forefront of silicon photonics and analog circuit design! As a member of the analog team, you’ll collaborate with our architects and engineers to develop innovative analog and mixed-signal (AMS) solutions for next-generation optical and wireline communication systems. We are currently hiring for multiple levels for this role. Your level and compensation will be determined by your experience, education, and location.

Responsibilities

• Design analog/mixed-signal (AMS) circuits used in control loops, such as data converters, amplifiers, drivers, comparators, bandgap, and more
• Support micro-architecture development with chip architects by conducting feasibility studies
• Collaborate with members of our design engineering teams (system, digital, analog, photonics/laser) to define electrical requirements
• Document design simulations and verifications towards formal design reviews
• Drive block-level floorplan, mask design views, and their reviews
• Run post-layout and mixed-signal top-level simulations to validate integration
• Define production and bench-level test plans
• Validate the performance of the circuits in the lab

Qualifications

• MS with 8+ years of relevant experience, OR Ph.D. with 5+ years of industry experience designing analog and mixed-signal circuits
• Solid understanding of CMOS device characteristics, noise, mismatch, linearity, and design trade-offs
• Experience with Cadence Design Environment
• Experience in testing analog circuits in a lab environment
• Ability to work collaboratively with people across multiple functional areas

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience interfacing with Silicon photonics (MZM, Ring) or laser IC is a plus
• Experience in chip top-level design is a plus
