Staff Engineer - Analog Design

Responsibilities

• Chip level and block level spec definition
• Circuit architectural design and verification
• Transistor-level analog IC circuit design and verification
• Directly conduct or closely supervise the analog circuit layout
• Conduct design reviews and resolve action items generated as a result of these reviews
• Attend design reviews to provide input and guidance to other designers
• Work with digital designers to interface with and verify analog circuit block
• Assist in prototype chip testing to validate analog circuit blocks
• Develop and implement a manufacturing test plan for analog circuit blocks; support efficient test program development
• Support marketing in product definition
• Support product engineering to meet manufacturing/production needs
• Support applications engineering to meet customer needs

• Master’s degree or equivalent training in related field and 10+ years of related experience. An advanced degree (e.g., PhD) may reduce the minimum experience required.
• Experience in the full design flow, from specification to circuit design/verification to prototype testing to high volume production support
• Experience in top level verification, integration of IP blocks, LVS, DRC, FILL and tape out experience desirable.
• Experience designing various analog circuits including voltage regulators, voltage reference generators, analog-to-digital converters, crystal oscillators, and DC-DC converters
• Experience with IO and ESD is extremely desirable
• Solid background in semiconductor physics and signal processing
• Experience designing subthreshold-biased or ultra-low power analog circuits is extremely desirable
• Experience with mixed mode simulators and Verilog-ams is extremely desirable
• Experience working with a team of analog and digital designers in a mixed-signal environment
• Experience guiding layout trade-offs for performance and size
• Experience designing analog circuits for testability using special test modes, production trimming, etc.
