Job Responsibilities
• Identify and refine circuit design 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.
• Present simulation data for peer and customer review.
• Document design features and test plans.
• Consult on the electrical characterization of your circuit within the IP product.

• 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, 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.
