The Analog Mixed Signal/Power Management Design Engineer (Sr up to Staff) joins the Analog Mixed Signal Design team to oversee the definition, design, verification, and documentation of various CMOS mixed analog/digital blocks. This role involves determining architecture designs and circuit specifications for components including data converters, PLLs, filters, LDOs, Buck/Boost switching regulators, charge pumps, precision references, and audio amplifiers. You will perform system simulations, circuit design, layout oversight, and silicon evaluation while using tools like Cadence ADE, MathWorks MATLAB, SPICE, and Verilog/VHDL. Key responsibilities include defining verification plans, running complex power and performance analyses, and providing technical expertise for analog design automation. The work focuses on integrating complex blocks into a broader framework while meeting specific power, performance, and functionality targets.
Define architecture and circuit specifications for CMOS mixed-signal blocks based on system requirements.
Design, simulate, and verify various analog/digital blocks including data converters, PLLs, and regulators.
Oversee block-level layout and silicon evaluation for multiple integrated circuits.
Develop verification plans and run complex power and performance simulations to meet functionality targets.
Design, program, and analyze test results from bench and ATE data to identify bugs.
Write detailed technical documentation and design descriptions for complex projects and customers.
Provide technical expertise for new initiatives such as analog design automation.
What we're looking for
Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering with 2+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design and 2+ years of ASIC design/verification experience.
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, or related work experience.
PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
2+ years of experience using one or more design tools such as Cadence, SPICE, MATLAB, and/or Verilog/VHDL.
Experience in analog/mixed-signal integrated CMOS circuit design for specific areas like VCO, PLL, DLL, Audio CODEC, or switching regulators (preferred).
1+ year of work experience in a role requiring interaction with senior leadership (preferred).
