Analog IC Design Engineer, Senior Staff (T4)

Analog IC Design Engineer, Senior Staff (T4)Hybrid2 days a week in the officeSanta Clara, CAYou will be working with multi-functional teams to deliver high-speed Ethernet products. You will define specifications based on link budget, behavioral modeling, and transistor-level feasibility. You will also drive schematic design and collaborate on mask design for implementation. And finally, with the team, you will drive designs into volume production and delight customers.What We're Looking ForMaster's degree and/or PhD in Electrical Engineering and 3+ years of experience.The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of analog mixed-signal design with experience in high-speed transceivers.Solid understanding and experience of designing analog mixed-signal circuit blocks including PLL, phase interpolator, low jitter clock distribution, bandgap, biasing circuits, LDO regulators, amplifiers, comparators, high-speed DACs and ADCs, filtersIn-depth knowledge of analog mixed-signal concepts like mismatch mitigation, linearity, stability, low-power and low-noise techniquesHands-on experience with AMS IC development from definition to high-volume production including layout supervision, bench evaluation, correlation, and characterizationExperience in the following areas is desirable:Experience with Tx/Rx equalization techniques and circuits like de-emphasis, CTLE, DFEExperience with high-speed digital circuits (e.g., serializer, deserializer, counters, dividers, etc.)Familiarity with CDR architectures and implementationsDesign experience in advanced CMOS technologies, design with FinFet technologyExperience in lab testing of high-speed transceiversModeling of passive on-chip elements such as inductor, T-coil, and transformerAble to build VerilogA/AMS behavioral modelsAble to analyze and lead characterization data from lab and volume testingKnowledge of ESD requirements
