QT Technologies Ireland Limited

Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering

About the role

The successful candidate will both design key circuit blocks and work closely with layout engineers to ensure the layout is fully optimized and complies with best analog layout practices. You will be directly involved in delivering next-generation PLL designs for Qualcomm SoCs and will be part of a large analog mixed-signal design team involved in architecture analysis and IP delivery in leading-edge FinFET process technology nodes at 3nm and beyond.

The role requires industry experience in transistor-level circuit implementations or highly relevant academic experience in a Masters’ or PhD program focused on full custom analog circuit design using nanometer CMOS technologies. In addition to Analog and Mixed-Signal circuit design expertise, good understanding of device physics, analog circuit custom layout, power distribution networks (PDN), mixed-signal design flow, SoC top-level integration and IC Design Tools are desired.

Responsibilities:

  • Architecture, design, and development of analog / mixed signal hard macros for the PLL IP Design team

  • Perform custom circuit design in the latest FinFET CMOS processes technologies and beyond to support the delivery of PLL IP

  • Participate in internal customer requirements discussions.

  • Create design specifications.

  • Create behavioural models in Verilog.

  • Set-up, run and analyse circuit simulations.

  • Perform quality assurance procedures on developed hard macros.

  • Deliver hard macros and support customer integration and testing.

  • Perform silicon characterization analysis and prepare silicon verification reports.

Skills and Experience we would love to see:

  • Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Science, Engineering, or related field.

  • 8+ years of transistor level analog mixed-signal design experience, preferably in PLL design, high-speed wireline SerDes, DDR or other high-speed applications

  • Experience in SPICE simulators and schematic capture tools

  • Experience in designing op-amps, bandgaps, differential amplifiers, VCO, PLL, DLL

  • Understanding of signal integrity in high-speed wireline design is preferred

  • Scripting to automate circuit design and verification work

  • Full-custom analog layout techniques and the ability to take a design and do all the layout extract verification and sign-off

  • Excellent communication skills and ability to contribute strongly within a high-performance team

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field.

  • 5+ years ASIC design, verification, or related work experience.
