Senior Analog Design Engineer



We are looking for a Senior Analog Design Engineer who will part of a SERDES high performance/high speed circuits development team, in particular, high demanded frequency clock generation with low noise, to address most advanced consumer 20Gbps protocols in the market.

Does this sound like a good role for you?



This role involves developing integer and fractional PLL circuits based on LC tank and Ring-Oscillator topologies, with low phase noise and low area and power consumption. You’d leverage your strong understanding of circuit simulation and circuit layout as well as knowledge of CMOS and RF circuitries, Phase-Detector, Charge-Pump. DLL and VCO architectures.

 

Main responsibilities

• Autonomous Analog Design with capabilities of creating test bench and specification generation, documentation, layout coordination and verification
• The seniority implies an external interface with other teams, where a prompt and reliable response, organization skills and work of comfortable zone are needed
• The assurance of all the robustness and quality related aspects needed for high production yield and system level usability
• Silicon correlation analysis

Key Qualifications 

• Requires a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with specialization in Micro-electronics
• Advanced knowledge on HSPICE (+RF) and Finesim and XA tools and basic concepts on scripting language (Python and TCL)
• Familiarity with UNIX operating systems
• Familiarity with one or more IC design CAD packages required
• Good written and verbal communication skill in English
• Team-player with a problem-solving capacity

Preferred Experience

• 4+ years of relevant work experience in analog circuit design
• Background in mixed-signal block design, preferably related to high speed SERDES (Clocking, PLL, DLL)
• Knowledge of design for porting across multiple foundry nodes
• Familiar with custom analog layout techniques for signal integrity, high speed/performance and yield maximization, DFM mitigation, reliability and Latch-UP/ESD
• Executes projects from start to completion with an independent judgment in selecting methods and techniques to obtain solutions.
