Job Posting Title: Mid-Level Analog/Mixed Signal Circuit Designer for High Speed Wireline Transceivers
City: Irvine
State: California
Country: USA
Alternate Location: N/A
Percent of Travel Required: 0%
Job Function: Engineering
Discipline: ENG-Hardware-Electronic Design
- Design analog blocks, systems or sub-systems using a combination of behavioral modeling tools and transistor level circuit design tools. The circuits to be developed include mixed-signal analog systems with ADCs, PGAs, DACs, filters, drivers, and low-jitter clocking circuits for high speed wireline transceivers
- Must be capable of defining and implementing innovative and optimal circuit architectures and transistor-level circuit solutions to achieve a variety of challenging noise, distortion, power consumption and cost requirements.
- Help mentor and take responsibility for projects with teams of analog engineers.
- Draw or oversee the drawing of the custom physical layout of these circuits.
- Work with others to define circuit board components to be used with these circuits.
- Define requirements for internal chip interfaces between the analog and digital circuits.
- Review the chip package pinout / ballout and review and revise the chip package route with package layout engineers.
- Design and/or review the PC test board schematics used for testing the IC performance.
- Characterize the performance of these ICs using lab equipment.
- Debug performance problems found during characterization of these analog circuits.
- Work with automatic test engineers (ATE) to develop production tests for these circuits.
- Document the operation and performance of these analog circuits.
PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent education preferred. Typically requires an MS with 3+ years of experience or PhD. Experienced in Cadence design environment. Able to make system level judgment and associated trade-offs. Ability to manage a complex mixed signal chip development from creation into high-volume production. Strong grasp of low noise, high linearity design. Interest in continuous time sigma delta converters. Interest in high resolution and/or high bandwidth data converters and high precision amplifiers. Have knowledge of active filter design implementation. Design environment/experience with CAD tools. System level design tools (e.g. MatLab). Transistor level design (Cadence Analog artist). Layout tools (Cadence Virtuoso) Verification/extraction. Experimental verification/ATE support Experience with documentation. Good communication skills. Able to work in a team environment.
