Analog Design to provide technical leadership and architectural direction across the development of advanced analog and mixedâsignal IPs for nextâgeneration timing solutions. This position goes beyond blockâlevel design.
Define architecture, specifications, and design methodologies for highâperformance analog IPs, including PLLs, DLLs, ADCs, DACs, highâspeed I/O interfaces, and other critical IPs used in TCG timing products. Drive topâlevel mixedâsignal system architecture, ensuring robust integration of analog blocks within complex SoC environments. What Youâll Do Provide seniorâlevel guidance to the analog team; mentor junior and midâlevel designers through design reviews, modeling strategy, simulation methodology, and silicon bringâup.
Serve as a technical thought leader by influencing design tradeoffs, modeling strategies, and verification approaches across projects. Lead transistorâlevel design and advanced simulations for critical analog circuits across process corners and operating conditions. Develop behavioral and VerilogâA models that ensure fast, accurate representation of analog IPs within mixedâsignal SoC simulations.
Guide silicon validation, test planning, characterization, and systemâlevel lab evaluation for new analog IP blocks. Partner closely with architects, digital / mixedâsignal teams, product engineers, layout teams, and multiâsite groups to ensure cohesive, firstâpass success of designs. Influence product roadmap and contribute to longâterm analog IP strategy.
What Youâll Bring Masterâs Degree in Electrical Engineering. 10+ years of experience working on analog and mixedâsignal circuits. 10+ years of highâspeed and analog circuit design experience, including ADCs, DACs, Filters, PLLs, DLLs, and highâspeed I/O. 10+ years of handsâon experience in scripting and automation using skill languages, Python, Perl, and Tcl. 10+ years of experience in MEMS analog interface circuits. What Sets You Apart PhD in Electrical Engineering. Strategic thinker with deep analog expertise, the ability to define systemâlevel approaches, and a track record of mentoring and guiding highâperformance design teams.
Good fundamentals in device physics, circuit theory, and layoutâaware design. Good knowledge of Cadence IC design flow and tools. Expertise in the system design of mixedâsignal circuits.
Good knowledge of VerilogâA for analog behavioral modeling and simulation. Good communication, teamwork skills, and experience working with multiâsite teams. Additional Information Upon offer of employment, the individual will be subject to a background check.
