Job Summary
Seeking a Principal Analog Mixed-Signal Design Engineer with 10-15 years of experience or an MSc/PhD in EE with 5+ years of relevant experience. Must have a proven track record in IC design, including chip tape-out and lab evaluation of receiver design, with solid skills in EDA CAD tools and Analog Custom Layout. Deep understanding of transistor-level design, device physics, and control loop stability analysis is essential, along with experience in overseeing junior designers and translating chip-level specifications into architecture.
Job Description
- Active circuit design as well as technical leadership.
- Design leading edge transimpedance amplifier design, primarily in Silicon Germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS (Bipolar Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology, where circuit performance will need to transcend beyond industry leading products.
- Develop transmission line structures and other millimeter wave structures to enable higher performance than would normally be achievable.
- Design of hi-performance broadband analog circuits for optical front-end receivers.
- Design of various other analog circuits including linear regulators, AGC loop, current/voltage sensors, bandgaps etc.
- Develop microarchitecture of major circuit blocks and guide team of designers to implement them. Work with various technologies including SiGe BiCMOS and CMOS.
- Work with other functional groups to facilitate post-silicon validation, qualification, transition to mass production, and customer support.
Skills Required
- 10 - 15 years experience Or MSc EE Or PhD EE with 5+ years of experience in the areas of design of high-performance RF/Analog Receiver/TIA design.
- Proven experience in IC design including chip tape-out AND lab evaluation of receiver design working in the industry).
- Solid experience in.
- Using EDA CAD tools
- Performing Analog Custom Layout
- Experience in measuring IC performance and debug of design to correlate simulations to measurements.
- Deep understanding of fundamentals, including:
- Detailed transistor level design
- Device physics
- Control/Feedback loop stability analysis
- Direct project experience in at least one of the following areas is a plus:
- AGC loop design
- High precision analog circuits (Including linear regulators, current sensors, bandgaps, and DAC/ADC)
- Experience in CTLE design
- Experience in Package-System integration issues desired.
- Project experience in using different technologies. (SiGe BiCMOS is a plus)
