Job Description
Description
Seeking an experienced analog/mixed:signal design engineer for developing complex mixed:signal ICs for Timing and Infrastructure applications. The position requires a strong analog mixed:signal design background including a strong history of innovative product and IP definition and design. Depending on experience level, the individual will participate in product roadmaps, definition, technology selection, design, and verification. The individual will have a role in defining and implementing the overall system architecture, designing transistor:level analog circuit blocks, simulating sub:system performance, creating and using behavioral models of blocks and the entire IC, doing and/or supervising physical layout, verifying circuit and chip:level operation and performance, and assisting with tape:out related activities. Responsibilities will also include detailed documentation, silicon evaluation and debugging, production test development support, customer support, and other activities as required for the achievement of high volume production.
Responsibilities
Architects, designs and verifies circuits, logic, systems, algorithms, etc. to meet product requirements
Determine design approaches and parameters
Develops innovative new designs for patenting or protecting as trade secret
Demonstrates good judgment in solving a broad range of issues, based on an advanced understanding of industry practices and company policies and procedures
Responsible for custom layout, including overseeing the work of layout designers
Reports on design results through design reviews, in accordance with company quality requirements and resolves action items generated as a result of these reviews
Attends design reviews to provide input and learn from other designers ' experiences
Research design techniques through technical publications and seminars
Supports marketing in product definition
Having a wide:ranging experience uses professional concepts and company objectives to resolve complex issues in creative and effective way
Determines methods and procedures on new assignments and may coordinate the activities of other personnel
Education Requirements
A technology:related master 's degree or equivalent training and 3 or more years of analog/mixed:signal design experience developing mixed:signal ICs
An advanced degree may reduce the minimum experience required.
Minimum Requirements

Advanced knowledge of CMOS fabrication processes
Advanced knowledge of MOS transistors and analog/digital circuit design
Knowledge of complex AD/DC analysis (poles, zeros, compensation)
Advanced signal analysis knowledge
Basic understanding of CMOS and BCD parasitic junctions and the risks associated with them
Strong parasitic analysis knowledge (capacitance, resistance, power grid)
Advanced knowledge of circuit building blocks (e.g., OPAMP, gm:C filters, switch capacitors, ADC, DAC, state:machines, and bus interfaces)
Advanced understanding of layout tradeoffs for performance and size
Advanced design skills in system modeling
Strong knowledge of UNIX, Matlab, and circuit simulation tools
Proficiency in layout verification, DRC, LVS
Additional skills (one or more of these are highly desirable)
