Analog IC Design Engineer

Change the world. Love your job.
Designers bring semiconductors to life by defining developing and/or modifying analog and mixed signal electronic parts components or integrated circuitry. They work with other designers and the broader R&D and demand creation teams to align on approaches and parameters for a given device creating block level specifications for the designs. They take the designs through the concept implementation in schematic and supervising layout followed by tape out to the fab. T hey also support silicon validation test qualification for reliability and finally ramp to mass production. Designers also conduct tests and analyze data to ensure the chosen methods are optimal for the defined specifications and reliability requirements.

Minimum requirements:

• Masters degree in Electrical Engineering
• 8 years of relevant experience

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience in design of power modules regulators LDOs charge pumps etc. or in design of high speed modules transceivers PLLs oscillators etc.
• Knowledge of device physics and process technologies tradeoffs
• System level understanding and analysis; and the ability to translate requirements to an IC spec level
• IC system partitioning and architectural tradeoff analysis
• Active involvement with customers. Candidate would be expected to interact and collaborate with a sense of ownership with customers and all product development team members including design layout systems verification validation test and program management
