Principal Analog Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer

• MS in Electrical Engineering and 10+ years of relevant experience.
• Proficiency designing high-speed ADCs and/or DACs in FinFET technologies.
• Familiarity with analog-to-digital conversion architectures and techniques, including SAR, pipeline, TDC, delta-sigma, interleaved sampling, RF, and sub-sampling.
• Understanding of digital calibration algorithms for these architectures and techniques.
• Proficiency in mixed-mode and analog/RF modeling, simulation, and verification using tools such as MATLAB, Spectre, SystemVerilog, and AMS.
• Deep understanding of electromigration and layout-dependent effects on circuit performance, particularly in advanced FinFET technologies.
• Extensive experience in silicon characterization and debugging.
• Strong background in analog/RF building blocks, including amplifiers, filters, oscillators, reference generation, and LDOs.
• Strong communication skills.

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with RF design concepts and metrics, including noise figure, intercept points, and line-up analysis.
• Fundamental understanding of device physics for process selection and performance optimization.
• Familiarity with chip-level ESD protection design and verification.
• Familiarity with digital design, digital verification, and SystemVerilog modeling.

• Lead the architecture, development, and integration of high-speed data converters (ADCs and DACs) and other analog/mixed-signal functions in FinFET CMOS technologies; optimize performance, power, and trade-offs.
• Develop high-level behavioral models in MATLAB, Simulink, or SystemVerilog-AMS to validate system performance before circuit implementation.
• Use Spectre and AMS flows to develop mixed-signal circuits and systems.
• Collaborate with system architects to define block-level performance and interface requirements from system specifications, supporting integration into RF payloads and terminals.
• Oversee layout, top-level integration, floorplanning, and design verification through tape-out.
• Work with validation and product engineers to develop test plans, facilitate bring-up, optimize performance, and support reliable, high-yield production cycles.
• Investigate and implement analog building blocks to improve circuit performance, and mentor junior engineers in analog design practices.

• Candidates may be subject to verification and BGS screening as required by applicable law.
