Description
In this role, you will be responsible for transistor-level designs of various blocks in ICs including both DC-DC converters and related auxiliary IPs. You may start with early feasibility studies of new concepts/designs and carry them through implementation, simulation, layout, and production. • Build concepts to overcome engineering problems in complex power systems.• Design blocks and documenting design towards formal design reviews.• Collaborate with mask design to construct layout collaterals.• Navigate through optimizations of power, area and performance or power IC designs.• Develop subcell and IP-level simulations to validate designs.• Define production and bench evaluation plans for post-silicon activities.• Take bench measurements to validate your own IC designs.• Review bench and production test results to drive bug fixes.• Complete designs considering ESD compliance of the circuits.
Minimum Qualifications
- • A minimum of 3 years of experience in industry for ICs going into production.
- • Proven experience with optimization of voltage regulator high level architecture and low-level circuits; knowing which are suitable for given applications.
- • Familiarity with buck, boost, LDOs, bandgaps, bias, comparators, and op-amps.
- • Versed in the electrical characteristics and physical construction of capacitors and inductors.
- • Device physics knowledge in regard to analog and power such as transistor operation, optimization, parasitics, and performance.
- • We seek engineers skilled in analog IC design CAD tools and analysis flows to complete the designs for tapeout.
- • Experience modeling circuits in Matlab, VerilogA, Python, or C for concepts prior to implementation.
Preferred Qualifications
- • Qualified to review and provide feedback for printed circuit board designs from a power perspective and associated I/O.
- • Design with detailed testability; write test plans for trim and calibration; collaborate with test engineers.
- • Validate analog/power designs on a lab bench using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, etc.
