JOB TITLE: Analog ASIC Architect The Analog ASIC Architect joins the Touch Technology team to own the architecture of complex mixed-signal ASICs from concept through silicon. This role focuses on enabling high-performance, low-power touch sensing experiences across a diverse product line. The architect translates high-level system requirements into realizable designs by defining analog front-end architectures, signal processing pipelines, and system-level performance targets. Key responsibilities include authoring micro-architecture specifications, building high-level behavioral models, and leading cross-disciplinary trade-off assessments regarding power, performance, area, and manufacturability. The role requires expertise in AFE design, ADC/DAC topologies, noise analysis, and signal chain optimization. Candidates should be proficient in MATLAB, Python, or equivalent modeling tools to perform root cause analysis and drive silicon performance resolutions from bench characterization through mass production.
