The Role:
As Senior Analog Circuit Design Engineer, you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative product solutions. You will work closely with an internal inter-disciplinary team, and third-party suppliers to drive key aspects of product definition, execution and optimization. You must be responsive, flexible and able to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment.
As a member of the RFIC team, you will be responsible for the architectural definition, design, simulation, layout, and extracted simulation for analog blocks including bandgaps, op-amps, precision current mirrors, temperature/process compensation techniques, LDOs, VGAs, baseband filters, etc. Strong focus will be on creating power and cost optimized solutions for a given system performance.

Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Key job responsibilities
Explore architectures for high performance analog sub-systems and make detailed presentations on power/area/performance trade-offs.
Design & optimize the above circuit blocks in deeply scaled CMOS/SiGe/SOI processes.
Perform circuit layout, parasitic extraction, and run extracted simulation across various corners to make sure designs are robust and can be taken to volume production.
Collaborate with the digital design team to define analog/digital boundary requirements for circuit calibration.
Specify bench and production test plans for your designs.

Bachelors/Masters degree in Electrical / Communications Engineering or related field.
7+ years of experience in analog circuit design, preferably in an advanced node.
Proven track record where products have gone to volume production.

10+ years of hands-on experience in low-power analog circuit design.
Strong technical background in some of the following:
o Sub-1V and traditional bandgap architectures, curvature correction methods, startup circuit designs
o Advanced LDO regulators including low-noise, PSRR optimization, stability across load conditions.
o Advanced baseband VGAs, TIAs, and op-amp design including feedback and compensation techniques
o Expertise in low-power current/voltage mode techniques for complex pole analog filters (e.g. Sallen-Key, multi-feedback, trans-linear loops, Tow-Thomas, etc)
o Solid understanding of analog design and layout techniques (bias, matching)
o Strong understanding of the implementation of behavioral models for such circuits.
o Strong ability to solve simulation accuracy, speed and capacity issues.
o Knowledge of the Cadence Virtuoso Design Framework, Virtuoso Schematic Editor, and Analog Design Environment (Explorer/Assembler), including flow automation and custom netlisting with SKILL.
Strong written and verbal skills.
