The Role:
As an 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: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.

 Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Electrical / Communications Engineering or related field.
 5+ years of experience in analog circuit design, preferably in an advanced node.
 Proven track record where products have gone to volume production.

 7+ 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.
