The Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer joins the team to design, simulate, and optimize high-performance transistor-level circuits, data converters, high-speed I/Os, and power management for advanced semiconductor process nodes. The role involves designing analog blocks such as ADCs, DACs, bandgaps, LDOs, and PLLs using transistor-level and behavioral modeling tools. Responsibilities include overseeing physical custom layouts, running SPICE and post-layout extractions to minimize parasitics, and performing silicon bring-up and lab testing to characterize integrated circuit performance while debugging hardware issues with automatic test equipment engineers. Candidates must possess proficiency in Cadence design tools, including Virtuoso and Analog Artist, as well as MATLAB. This position addresses technical challenges in semiconductor manufacturing by developing critical components for advanced nodes through rigorous modeling, layout verification, and hands-on laboratory characterization of complex integrated circuits.
Design, simulate, and optimize high-performance transistor-level circuits and data converters.
