Job Description

Position Overview:

Analog and Mixed Signal Designer (Embedded Flash Memory)

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Analog and Mixed Signal Designer to contribute to the development of cutting-edge embedded Flash Memory IPs, which are comprised of analog and mixed-signal circuits. The ideal candidate will have a strong analog/mixed-signal background, hands-on experience in relevant design areas, and a deep understanding of underlying device physics. This is an Individual Contributor (IC) role focused on technical execution and collaborative innovation.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Execution and Design:
Execute the design, development, and verification of analog and mixed-signal circuits for flash memory development, including charge pumps, voltage regulators, sense amplifiers, and memory interfaces.
Analyze and review circuit architectures to optimize performance, power, and area (PPA) under the guidance of technical leads.
Drive assigned technical tasks to address industry challenges in scaling, performance, and reliability for flash.
Collaborate with world-wide cross-functional teams, including layout, process, test engineering, and product teams.
Ensure designs meet technical specifications, project timelines, and quality standards.
Identify and mitigate design risks, ensuring robust circuit performance under process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations.
Collaboration and Communication:
Work closely with flash bit-cell architecture and product teams to align circuit design with system-level requirements.
Interface with Process teams (Process Integration Engineers) to optimize technology for flash/NVM applications.
Present project updates, technical reviews, and status reports to stakeholders and senior management.
Innovation and Best Practices:
Stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in embedded flash and analog design.
Contribute to the continuous improvement of design methodologies, tools, and workflows.

Qualifications

Qualifications:

Education:
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related field.
Experience:
3+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal circuit design, with demonstrated focus on relevant embedded flash development concepts.
Experience with complex designs and ownership of key circuit blocks.
Technical Skills:
Deep understanding of NVM/embedded flash operation principles, including programming, reading, and reliability considerations.
Working experience with various analog building blocks, such as current mirrors, operational amplifiers, sense amplifiers, charge pumps, oscillators, and LDOs.
Proficient in design and simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, SPICE simulators, extraction tools).
Familiarity with process technology and layout considerations for relevant advanced nodes (e.g., 28nm).
Device physics knowledge, particularly related to reliability and device behavior over PVT.
Proficiency in scripting languages such as PERL or Python.
Desirable:
Experience in silicon bring-up, debug, and characterization.
Knowledge of reliability challenges such as endurance, retention, and soft errors in flash/NVM.
Demonstrated strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Strong verbal and written communication skills.
Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions.
Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery.
Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment.
Ability to take the initiative and drive for results.
