Job Description
Our Interface IP group in Mississauga, ON is looking for an enthusiastic person to join our team. You will be working with a cross functional team of analog and mixed signal circuit designers from a wide variety of backgrounds on design and methodology. This position requires sound technical experience in full custom analog/mixed-signal circuit design, custom layout, circuit simulations, reliability investigation, post-silicon characterization and a deep understanding of silicon IP design requirements with the ability to drive and train junior engineers to become experts with new methodologies.
Job Responsibilities
- Review SerDes standards to develop analog top and sub-block specifications.
- Ability to drive projects and guide junior engineers.
- Exercise independent judgement to identify and refine circuit architectures 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 parasitics, device stress, and process variation.
- Review and present simulation data for peer and customer review.
- Define and document design features and test plans.
- Propose solutions for post-silicon design updates.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar technical field
- BSEE degree and 10+ years of experience in IC design, or MSEE (or PhD) with 6+ years of experience.
- Design experience in high speed PHY
- In depth familiarity with transistor level circuit design - sound CMOS design fundamentals
- Design experience with one, and familiarity with several other SerDes sub-circuits:
- receive equalizers,
- samplers,
- voltage/current-mode drivers,
- serializers, deserializers,
- voltage-controlled oscillator,
- phase mixer,
- delay-locked loop, phase locked loop,
- bandgap reference,
- ADC, DAC.
- Familiarity with custom digital design (i.e. high-speed critical paths).
- Knowledge of design for reliability (i.e. EM, IR, aging, etc.)
- Expertise of layout effects (i.e. matching, reliability, proximity effects, etc.).
- Experience with tools for schematic entry, physical layout, and design verification.
- Expertise 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
- Hands-on experience with physical layout of high-speed circuits is a plus
- Good communication and documentation skills
