TL;DR · Analog ASIC Architect

As an Analog ASIC Architect on the Touch Technology team, you will own the architecture of complex mixed-signal ASICs from concept through silicon to enable high-performance touch sensing experiences. You will translate system requirements into technical designs by defining analog front-end architectures, signal processing pipelines, and performance targets. Your daily work involves authoring micro-architecture specifications, building behavioral models to evaluate trade-offs, and performing root cause analysis for silicon issues from bench characterization through mass production. You will collaborate across circuit design, digital architecture, software, and product teams while managing power, performance, area, and manufacturability constraints. The role requires expertise in AFE design, ADC/DAC topologies, noise analysis, and signal chain optimization. Candidates should be proficient in MATLAB or Python to perform modeling and simulation for high-volume, complex mixed-signal IC development.

What you'll do

  • Define and develop analog front-end (AFE) and mixed-signal ASIC architectures for high-performance touch sensing.
  • Author detailed micro-architecture specifications, performance analyses, and characterization plans for IC development.
  • Build high-level behavioral models to evaluate architectural trade-offs and validate system performance.
  • Lead cross-disciplinary trade-off assessments regarding power, performance, area, and manufacturability across process corners.
  • Contribute technical expertise to strategic roadmap planning and technology investment decisions.
  • Perform root cause analysis and resolve silicon performance issues from bench characterization through mass production.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering is preferred.
  • Minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience in analog and mixed-signal ASIC architecture, including AFE design, ADC/DAC topologies, and signal chain optimization.
  • Proven track record of defining and taping out high-volume, complex mixed-signal ICs from architecture through production.
  • Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or equivalent high-level modeling and simulation tools.
  • Experience with IC bring-up, silicon characterization, and system-level debug.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
