Analog Design Engineer, Senior

Job Description

Develop and maintain circuit design methodology flows and documentation. Identify and refine circuit implementations 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 parasitic, device stress, and process variation. Collaborate with digital RTL engineers on the development of calibration, adaptation and control algorithms for analog circuits. Present simulation data for peer and customer review. Mentor and Review the progress of junior engineers. Document design features and test plans. Required Qualifications: Bachelor with 2 years experience or MSEE (or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar technical field In-depth familiarity with transistor level circuit design - sound CMOS design fundamentals. Silicon-proven experience implementing circuits like bandgap references, voltage regulators. Detailed design experience with high custom logic design Experience optimizing FinFET CMOS layout to minimize the effect of parasitic resistance and capacitance, and to reduce the effects of local device mismatch and proximity effects. Awareness of ESD issues (i.e. circuit techniques, layout). and design for reliability (i.e. electro-migration, IR, aging, etc.). Experience with EDA tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification. High proficiency with spice simulators including HSPICE, Finesim and XA Knowledgeable in Verilog-A and/or System-Verilog for analog behavioral modeling and simulation-control / data-capture. Plus Qualifications: Ability to provide automationfor rapid and dynamic design needs is highly sought-after Experience with STA and cell characterization such as Nanotime, Primetime, SiliconSmart Experienced in STAR or similar extractor to debug extraction issues Extensive programming skills in languages such as Python, Perl, TCL and C/C++
