Analog Design Engineer, Staff
We are looking for full-time A&MS Design Engineer to join our SERDES high performance/high-speed design team.
This role involves design and optimizing mixed-signal circuits for best Power, Performance and Area.
You’d leverage your understanding in microelectronics from transistor to topology levels, from schematic to layout, from simulations to the lab. You'll deal with all reliability concerns of a design.
Does this sound like a good role for you?

Main responsibilities 

• Analog Design, test bench and specification generation and documentation;
• Simulation of analog or mixed-signal circuits to ensure that performance, noise, timing, and power requirements are satisfied including worst-case and/or statistical design verification and de-rating analysis
• Layout coordination, follow-up and validation;
• Assurance of all the robustness and quality related aspects for high production yield;
• Design review preparation and presentation;
• System level usability;
• Collaboration with verification, process, test, and application engineering teams;
• Silicon correlation study;
• Follow-up of junior engineers.

Key Qualifications 

• Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with specialization in Micro-electronics (or equivalent);
• Possesses relevant experience in deep submicron CMOS technologies;
• Exercises good judgment in selecting efficient/robust methods and techniques to design and validate electronic circuits;
• Good written and verbal communication in English;
• Teamwork;
• Problem-solving and organizational skills.

Preferred Experience 

• 6+ years of relevant work experience in analog circuit design;
• Background in mixed-signal block design, preferably related to high-speed SERDES (Drivers, Receivers, Clocking, PLL, DLL, CDR);
• Knowledge of design for porting across multiple foundry nodes;
• Familiar with custom analog layout techniques for signal integrity, high speed/performance and yield maximization, DFM mitigation, reliability and Latch-UP/ESD.
