• Enhancing the performance and reliability of silicon chips through innovative analog design solutions.
• Reducing integration risk and accelerating time-to-market for our customers.
• Improving the efficiency of design processes through automation and advanced simulation techniques.
• Mentoring junior engineers to build a stronger, more skilled team.
• Contributing to the development of secure, high-speed communication interfaces.
• Driving the adoption of new methodologies and technologies in mixed-signal circuit design.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a similar technical field.
• 15-20 years of experience in IC design with a BSEE degree, or 12-15 years with an MSEE or PhD.
• Extensive knowledge of Analog & Mixed-Signal circuit design.
• Proficiency with spice simulators including HSPICE, PrimeSim/FineSim, and XA.
• Experience with static timing analysis and cell characterization tools such as Nanotime and Primetime.

Who You Are:

• A collaborative team player with excellent communication skills.
• A proactive problem solver with a keen attention to detail.
• A mentor and leader who enjoys sharing knowledge and helping others grow.
• An innovative thinker who stays up-to-date with the latest industry trends and technologies.
• A self-motivated individual who can work independently and manage multiple tasks effectively.
