• Lead medium and high-complexity ICs from architecture selection to implementation and debugging, managing analog and digital teams;
• Mixed-mode IC top-level/block design, transistor-level circuit design and simulation;
• Use recommended design and verification techniques, tools & flows to produce efficient designs which meet specifications;
• Successful integration of blocks into larger mixed-signal systems;
• Support other development team functions, such as layout, application, and test, to ensure successful delivery and meeting all requirements;
• Perform hands-on evaluation of ICs in the lab.

Requirements

• Master’s degree in electronic engineering and 8+ years’ experience as analog circuit designer;
• Strong fundamentals in analog and mixed-signal design, tools and flows;
• Design experience with circuits such as amplifiers, DACs, ADCs, bandgaps, bias circuits, LDOs, and switching power supply circuits;
• Experience in leading complex and large Mixed-Signal ICs;
• Good understanding of power supply control architectures;
• Knowledge of BCD process technologies;
• Understanding of digital IC design;
• Understand physical phenomena such as latch-up, HCI degradation, and other reliability issues;
• Strong interpersonal, teamwork and communication skills are required;
• Ability to take ownership of top-level subsystems and integration in the mixed-signal environment;
• Travel to support product definition should be expected;
• Good level of understanding of the English language, both written and spoken.
