Analog/Mixed Signal Design Engineer

The successful candidate shall possess the capability to design and analyze high speed, high performance analog / mixed signal circuits, including data converters, PLLs, and SERDES, in advanced CMOS FinFET technologies. She or he shall bring the design all the way to production.
 

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and simulate the functionality and performance of various high-speed analog circuits, including the ADCs and DACs;

• Create the layout floor plans to optimize the overall performance; Supervise the layout activities and give concise guidelines to layout engineers, need to be hands on in drawing layout if necessary;

• Exploring the trade-offs of the different topologies and propose the best solution to achieve or exceed the requirements in terms of power/area/linearity/bandwidth, etc.

• Develop the analog testing plans and work with the PE/TE teams to characterize the functionality and performance of the products to ensure the quality;

• Need to support and comply with the team’s design methodologies and release flows.
