Analog & Mixed Signal Circuit Design Engineer, Sr. Staff
You will be part of an R&D team developing high speed analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for DDR/LPDDR PHY, High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) PHY, Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) PHY, and Mobile Storage PHY IPs. We are looking for an engineer with theoretical knowledge and practical experience to contribute to the team. You will work with a cross functional design team of analog and digital designers from a wide variety of backgrounds. Our design environment is best-in-class with a full suite of IC design tools, supplemented by custom in-house tools, and supported by an experienced software/CAD team.

Job Responsibilities

Review JEDEC standards to develop analog and mixed-signal sub-block specifications.
Identify and refine circuit architectures to achieve optimal power, area, performance and ESD targets
Propose design and verification strategies
Oversee physical layout to minimize the effect of parasitic, device stress, process variation, and ESD/Latch-Up protection
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

Job Requirements

PhD with 7 years of experience or MSc with 10+ years of analog design experience

Experience with FinFET technologies
Detailed design experience with at least one, and familiarity with several other DDR or SerDes sub-circuits:
1. receive equalizers, samplers, voltage/current-mode drivers, serializers, deserializers, voltage-controlled oscillator, phase mixer, delay-locked loop, phase locked loop, bandgap reference, ADC, DAC
Experience of ESD protection, ESD network analysis and debug (i.e. circuit techniques, layout for ESD/Latch-UP protection robustness)
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
