Summary:
Our client is seeking a Senior Analog RF Design Engineer. This individual will be responsible for the design and detailed development of state-of-the-art analog and mixed signal integrated circuits for use in high performance test and measurement equipment. The candidate will work with a highly qualified team of ASIC engineers, located both locally and abroad. Tasks will cover the entire spectrum of analog development starting from conceptual work, through the design, layout, and characterization of the devices. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to delve into a wide array of mixed signal circuit design challenges. The work varies daily from microwave design to DSP to complex analog design for calibration. Additionally, there will be hands-on opportunities to assist integrating ASIC's into the final application board.
Responsibilities:
• Design and implement high speed analog/mixed-signal circuits in advanced CMOS/BiCMOS technology for integration in high performance mixed-signal SoCs
• Design, simulate, analyze, model, document and communicate integrated circuit IP
• Understand system level design requirements as applied to integrated circuit design
• Characterization and debugging of analog IC designs for testing and measurement equipment
Required Education & Qualifications:
• MS degree in electrical engineering, with 5+ years of experience in IC Design
• Thorough understanding of detailed analog circuit design and the ability to design independently various functional blocks
• In-depth understanding of BiCMOS and CMOS process technologies
• Detailed knowledge in the design and operation of the following analog blocks: low noise high linearity amplifiers and mixers, VCOs, filters, line drivers, power amplifiers, mixed analog / custom digital circuits, basic analog building blocks (op amps, comparators, current sources, current mirrors, voltage references)
• Good knowledge of RF engineering, specifically transmission lines theory, matching, RF device models
• Understanding of simulation models, design rules and verification procedures (DRC/LVS/ERC)
• Experience with design practices such as minimizing device mismatch, noise, signal coupling, ESD
• Experience designing analog integrated circuits for a complex mixed signal SoCs from creation into production
• Work effectively in a group setting (share expertise, provide and receive feedback, communicate technical issues, work in a team environment to resolve technical issues)
• Ability to travel occasionally
• Tools Requirement: transistor level design tools (Cadence Analog Artist, ADE), layout tools (Cadence Virtuoso), verification/extraction, experience with documentation, system level design tools (e.g. Matlab, Verilog-AMS, etc.).
