Job Description:
Client is looking for an enthusiastic candidate for the position of Senior Analog Design Engineer, to design low high-speed circuits in mixed-signal ICs for ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) instruments. We are looking for a candidate with experience in FINFET, general CMOS, and BCD technologies.

Responsibilities:

• Develop detailed circuit specifications for mixed signal circuits
• Conceive circuit architectures and transistor level circuit topologies that satisfy required performance
• Physical implementation (layout) of high speed circuits, either directly or assisting.
• Optimization of circuits via simulation (with Cadence EDA tools) over all process and operating conditions
• Integration of circuit elements into large analog/mixed signals ASICs
• Participation in the characterization of ASIC circuits.

• MSEE with 5 years of experience or PhD in electrical engineering with 3 years experience in the design and characterization of multiple, high frequency and high scale of integration mixed signal integrated circuits
• Thorough knowledge of high frequency, broad-band Analog Mixed-Signal IC design – both electrical and physical design
• Desire experience in design of VCOs, PLLs, DLLs, ADCs, DACs, clock and data recovery, broadband amplifiers, bias generators, clock distribution networks, high frequency I/Os, high frequency CML designs, high voltage, power circuits
• Solid understanding of CMOS semiconductor device physics and device modeling
• Solid understanding of electromagnetic theory
• Solid understanding of transmission line theory
• Solid understanding of thermal effects of various circuit topologies and different package types
• Involvement in all phases of multiple IC developments from specification to product introduction
• Experience with Cadence Skill or Ocean scripting for automating test benches is a plus.
• Proficiency in Verilog or Verilog-A modeling is highly desired.
• Direct experience in FINFET desired
• Generic experience in deep sub-micron CMOS (nodes < 65 nm) highly desired
• Experience in BCD technology is a plus
• Experience with high voltage and/or mixed voltage domain circuit design is desired
• Solid understanding and experience with IC characterization at high frequencies using high speed sampling oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal sources
• Solid understanding of working with PDKs
• Experience with ATE test development is a plus
