Senior Principal Mixed-Signal Design Engineer

Job Duties And Responsibilities

You will be a leader for, and key member of, our design and development team. You will set direction for others, take a significant role in defining converter specification and architecture, and drive execution of those converters from concept through release to production.

You should exhibit a strong, intuitive capability in solving complex challenges. The ability to self-motivate and to motivate others on the team is also highly valuable.

• Architecting data converter solutions to meet a diverse set of application requirements, with a focus on state-of-the-art multi-GHz sample rate and bandwidth
• Developing and implementing calibration algorithms for digitally-assisted analog circuits
• Designing challenging transistor-level circuits
• Collaborating with internal and external customers, working across multiple sites and multiple teams
• Preparing effective design documents and conducting engaging design reviews
• Guiding layout, evaluation, and test engineering teams
• Mentoring other design engineers

Qualifications

• M.S. or beyond in Electrical Engineering
• 20+ years’ experience in CMOS design
• Proven track record and technical expertise in high-speed data converter design, with architectures such as pipeline ADC, SAR ADC, or current-steering DAC
• Intimate understanding of time-interleaved data converters
• Experience designing a wide range of circuits such as wide bandwidth amplifiers and comparators, switched capacitor circuits, precision voltage and current references, LDOs
• Experience in Cadence schematic capture and SPICE simulation tools
• Signal processing knowledge is a strong plus, particularly as it relates to calibration algorithms
• Experience with MATLAB, for example used as a behavioral modeling tool
• Good written and verbal communication skills, and ability to work in a large team.
