Sr. Staff/Principal Engineer - Low Power Chip Architect / System Engineer will join the ASICS Engineering team to lead the architecture and integration of ultra-low-power integrated circuits for Robotics and Industrial IoT applications. This high-impact role involves defining end-to-end system architectures, managing trade-offs between power, performance, and area, and leading transistor-level designs for mixed-signal building blocks like ADCs, DACs, PLLs, and SerDes. The engineer will develop behavioral models using MATLAB or Simulink to evaluate noise and linearity while performing pre-silicon verification across PVT corners. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Cadence Virtuoso, Verilog, Python, and tools such as Spectre and HSPICE. The role focuses on solving complex challenges in battery-operated sensor ASICs, multi-modal sensor data acquisition, and edge AI inference workflows to ensure successful productization of advanced mixed-signal systems.
