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 5-10 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
