Analog Design Engineer

Change the world. Love your job.

Designers bring semiconductors to life by defining, developing, and/or modifying analog and mixed signal electronic parts, components, or integrated circuitry. They work with other designers and the broader R&D and demand creation teams to align on approaches and parameters for a given device, creating block level specifications for the designs. They take the designs through the concept, implementation in schematic and supervising layout, followed by tape out to the fab. T hey also support silicon validation, test, qualification for reliability, and finally ramp to mass production. Designers also conduct tests and analyze data to ensure the chosen methods are optimal for the defined specifications and reliability requirements.

Qualifications

Minimum requirements:

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering
• 8 years of relevant design experience

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience in design of power modules – regulators, LDOs, charge pumps etc. or in design of high speed modules – transceivers, PLLs, oscillators etc.
• Knowledge of device physics and process technologies tradeoffs
• System level understanding and analysis; and the ability to translate requirements to an IC spec level
• IC system partitioning and architectural tradeoff analysis
• Active involvement with customers. Candidate would be expected to interact and collaborate with a sense of ownership with customers and all product development team members including design, layout, systems, verification, validation, test and program management
• Block level topology selection, hand analysis, and IC transistor level implementation
• Schematic generation and simulation on modern CAD tools (Cadence tool set)
• Worst case identification, top level simulation, Monte Carlo analysis, and simulation data analysis
• Physical layout management, signal grounding and routing tradeoffs, die area optimization
• Post layout parasitic extraction and simulation, verification of all IC level performance metrics
• Top level verification, block level modeling, top level simulation
• Must budget time, manage schedule and complete complex IC design tasks on time
• Must have depth of experience and meticulous approach to assure high quality results
• Must account for limitations of system level specifications, testability, debug, characterization, production, and yield targets in the IC design phase.
• Must work well with colleagues and customers to foster a highly creative, interesting, productive, and fun working environment.
• Ability to establish strong relationships with key stakeholders critical to success, both internally and externally
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to quickly ramp on new systems and processes
• Demonstrated strong interpersonal, analytical, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions
• Ability to take the initiative and drive for results
• Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery
