Analog Design, Staff Engineer
Hillsboro, OR
Job Description
Analog & Mixed Signal Circuit Design Engr, Sr I
47572BR
USA - Oregon - Hillsboro
Job Description and Requirements
You will be part of an R&D team developing high speed analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for 25+ Gbps SerDes IP. We are looking for an engineer with theoretical knowledge and practical experience to contribute to the team. You will work with a cross functional design team of analog and digital designers from a wide variety of backgrounds. Our design environment is best-in-class with a full suite of IC design tools, supplemented by custom in-house tools, and supported by an experienced software/CAD team.
Job Responsibilities
- Review SerDes standards to develop analog sub-block specifications.
- Identify and refine circuit architectures to achieve optimal power, area and performance targets.
- Propose design and verification strategies that efficiently use simulator features to ensure highest quality design.
- Oversee physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitics, device stress, and process variation.
- Present simulation data for peer and customer review.
- Document design features and test plans.
- Consult on the electrical characterization of your circuit within the SerDes IP product.
Job Requirements
- MSc with 3-5 years of analog IC design experience.
- In depth familiarity with transistor level circuit design - sound CMOS design fundamentals.
- Detailed design experience with at least one, and familiarity with several other SerDes sub-circuits:
- receiver equalizers, samplers, voltage/current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, voltage-controlled oscillator, phase mixer, delay-locked loop, phase locked loop, bandgap reference, ADC, DAC
- Aware of ESD issues (i.e. circuit techniques, layout).
- Familiarity with custom digital design (i.e. high speed logic paths).
- Knowledge of design for reliability (i.e. EM, IR, aging, self heating, etc.).
- Knowledge of layout effects (i.e. matching, reliability, proximity effects, etc.).
- Experience with tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification.
- Hands-on experience with physical layout of high speed circuits is a plus.
- Knowledge of SPICE simulators and simulation methods.
- Knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation-control/data-capture.
- Experience with TCL, Perl, C, Python, MATLAB, or other scripting languages is desired.
- Good communication and documentation skills.
