IO and Mixed Signal Circuit Design Engineer

Job Description:

Work as part of Mixed Signal and IO Library Development team in Central Engineering. Primary responsibilities include:

• Design and verification of IO interfaces and mixed signal blocks such as POR, process monitors, voltage/temperature sensors, crystal oscillators etc.
• RTL coding, synthesis and verification of digital wrappers that interface with analog circuitry
• Interface with both custom and P&R layout engineers and oversee physical design and verification.
• Develop functional models and perform timing characterization of these cells.
• Directly interface with end customers to understand their requirements, come up with specifications and implement circuit designs that support them.
• Create necessary infrastructure and generate test vectors to support silicon validation of these blocks on test chips.
• Work with test engineers to support silicon validation either on ATE or on the bench.
• Develop accurate documentation in the form of datasheets, application notes and integration guides
  
  

Skills and Qualifications Required:

• Educational requirements: MSEE with a minimum of 5-15 years of hands-on experience in independently designing mixed signal circuits especially in newer CMOS technologies such as 5nm or 3nm
• Must have experience in designing analog circuits such as PLLs, LDOs, Bandgap references, ADCs or DACs--knowledge of AMS methodology and analog circuit modeling will be a plus
• Must be proficient with Cadence Virtuoso Schematic Capture and ADE along with an excellent knowledge of spice based simulators such as Spectre and/or Hspice
• Working knowledge of LVS, DRC along with EM/ESD verification tools such as Totem/Pathfinder/PER
• Strong written and oral communication skills in English to be able to work effectively across geographies as well as to be able to interface with end customers
• Require proficiency in automation using shell scripting or any other languages such as SED, AWK, TCL or PERLˇ
