Senior Analog/Mixed Signal Design Engineer/Lead

Job Description:

Design analog blocks, systems or sub-systems using a combination of behavioral modeling tools and transistor level circuit design tools. Previous work in envelope tracking systems or equivalent techniques is highly desirable. Proficiency in analog design including high speed amplifiers (up to hundreds of MHz). Proficiency in high speed comparator design. In-depth knowledge of CMOS devices. RF design knowledge is highly desirable. Proficiency in simulation techniques and tools including RF. Proficiency in system analysis of noise, linearity, power optimization. In depth knowledge of analog and RF layout techniques. Knowledge of analog and mixed signal IP design including ADCs, DACs, references, oscillators, LDOs is highly desirable. Knowledge of switched power supplies is highly desirable. Must be capable of implementing and optimizing circuit architectures and transistor-level circuit solutions to achieve a variety of challenging noise, distortion, power consumption and cost requirements. Help take responsibility for projects with teams of analog engineers. Draw or oversee the drawing of the custom physical layout of these circuits. Work with others to define circuit board components to be used with these circuits. Define requirements for internal chip interfaces between the analog and digital circuits. Review the chip package pinout / ballout and review and revise the chip package route with package layout engineers. Design and/or review the PC test board schematics used for testing the IC performance. Characterize the performance of these ICs using lab equipment. Debug performance problems found during characterization of these analog circuits. Work with automatic test engineers (ATE) to develop production tests for these circuits. Document the operation and performance of these analog circuits.
