Staff Analog Design Engineer

Responsibilities: Drive development of state-of-the-art analog blocks and mixed signal CMOS designs which can be reused across different market segments. Analytical approach to problem solving is required. CMOS designs provide challenging learning opportunities where performance, power and reliability are all pushed to the limit while maintaining product execution schedule. Drive analog circuit requirements discussions, technical issues and other design aspects with internal teams and marketing to arrive at agreed upon product specifications. Build/develop circuits based on an IP specification, drive the layout design and final IP characterization. Execute state-of-the-art analog designs while following the best design practices with on time quality design releases. Propose innovative and creative solutions where necessary to meet customer & product needs. Work diligently with the analog team members and others to accomplish project goals and meet schedule requirements. Debug of complex integrated circuit problems in the laboratory. Support team debug efforts as needed. Perform bench characterization and support application engineering bench evaluation efforts. Analyze design aspects related to DFT and collaborate with other teams to develop DFT strategy for block designs. Document designs including architecture and circuit descriptions, testing procedures, and safety mechanisms. Interface with test, product, and applications engineering to drive the design to a successful production release. Provide technical leadership including IC specification, project planning, design team management, and layout supervision. Close collaboration with system architects and product definers #LI-RG1 Responsibilities: Drive development of state-of-the-art analog blocks and mixed signal CMOS designs which can be reused across different market segments.
