Senior Analog/Mixed Signal Engineer
Boston. Posted 7 months ago
The role
The Analog/Mixed-Signal Engineer will help accelerate hardware development. The role involves designing analog blocks and high-speed analog circuits using modern CMOS technology.
What you will do
- Design analog blocks including Comparator, op-amp, reference/bias generation, LDO regulators, filters, switch-cap, and data converters
- Design and layout of high-speed analog circuits such as Frequency dividers, oscillators, and PLLs
- Perform lab-testing of mixed-signal circuits using signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes
- Conduct simulations in Cadence including PEX, Monte-Carlo, and Corner analysis
- Support project tape-out verification including DRC, ERC, and LVS
- Perform pre-silicon validation and top-level mixed-signal design simulations
Required qualifications
- 3-5 years relevant experience in Analog/Mixed Signal Engineering
- Experience designing analog blocks (Comparator, op-amp, reference/bias generation, LDO regulators, filters, switch-cap, and data converters)
- Experience in design and layout of high-speed analog circuits (Frequency dividers, oscillators, and PLLs)
- In-depth knowledge of analog mixed-signal concepts (Noise, linearity, stability, low-power, and low-noise techniques)
- Deep understanding of reliability issues and layout effects, such as electro-migration (EM), and strategies to mitigate them
- Experience in lab-testing of mixed-signal circuits and experience using signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes
- Comprehensive simulation skills in Cadence (PEX, Monte-Carlo, and Corner analysis)
- Experience in supporting project tape-out verification (DRC, ERC, and LVS)
- Proficiency in pre-silicon validation and top-level mixed-signal design simulations
- Experience in designing with modern CMOS technology
Nice to have
- Strong programming skills (Python and C)
- Experience with I/O design (ESD and latch-up)
Before you apply
- Position requires access to information subject to control under U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)
- Employment is conditioned on authorization to receive controlled items
