Analog Mixed Signal Design Engineer

The role

You will design and verify circuits such as PLL, DLL, ADC, regulators, amplifiers, TX, RX, and CDRs. You will work on analog and clocking blocks for connectivity applications using Spectre and MATLAB.

What you will do

• Develop and verify circuits such as PLL, DLL, ADC, regulators, amplifiers, TX, RX, and CDRs
• Work on analog and clocking blocks for connectivity applications

Required qualifications

• Hands-on experience in designing high-speed mixed-signal circuits including ADC/DAC data converters, RX front-end, TX driver/serializer, low-jitter PLLs, TX/RX calibration, low-jitter CLK distribution
• Have a deep understanding of biasing, band-gaps, reference circuits, opamps, comparators and other analog circuits
• Solid track-record for implementation of analog circuits high-speed data transmission
• Design and tapeout experience in advanced CMOS nodes (ex. 20nm or newer) is a must
• Solid fundamentals in detailed transistor-level design, feedback/stability analysis, and noise/jitter analysis
• Strong technical independent contributor with a proven ability to drive results
• Excellent teamwork, presentation, and documentation skills
• Ability to collaborate with global teams across multiple time zones and deliver under pressure with strict deadlines
• Strong experience in lab chip bring-up and debugging efforts

Nice to have

• Pursuing a Master’s or PhD degree in EE is preferred
• Knowledge of TIA design and drivers for optical applications is highly desirable
• Experience in RFIC design for wireless or wireline communication systems is highly desirable
• Relevant research publications and/or patents in analog or RF IC design
• Familiarity in programming/scripting languages such as Python, Matlab, or C
• Experience with PCB design
• Familiarity with Verilog RTL or DSP design concepts
• Knowledge of optical transceivers
• Expertise in ESD protection techniques and IC packaging methodologies
