Tech Stack
About the role
- Design and develop high-performance, high-speed ADC and DAC architectures.
- Architect and implement low-jitter, low-power integer-N and fractional-N PLLs, frequency synthesizers and clocking systems.
- Engage with cross-functional analog, digital, DV, firmware, SoC architecture, technology, packaging, silicon validation, production test, and manufacturing teams to implement circuits and sub-systems.
- Drive full lifecycle design including specification, modeling (Verilog-A/AMS), schematic design, simulation, post-layout verification, and silicon validation.
- Perform design optimization for power, area, and performance in advanced FinFET nodes.
- Develop and maintain design documentation and support post-silicon bring-up and characterization.
- Support your product through production and spaceflight.
- Act as technical leader and subject-matter expert helping to teach, grow, and mentor others in the team.
Requirements
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a strong focus in analog/mixed-signal IC design.
- 5+ years of relevant industry experience in mixed-signal circuit design.
- Proven hands-on experience in high-speed ADC/DAC designs with deep understanding of architectures, performance metrics, and design trade-offs.
- Strong knowledge of PLL design principles, including charge pump, VCO, loop filter, multi-modulus divider, sigma delta modulator, and jitter analysis.
- Solid understanding of FinFET CMOS process characteristics and layout parasitic considerations.
- Proficient in EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, behavioral modeling (Verilog-A, Verilog-AMS, MATLAB), and similar tools.
- Strong debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Benefits
- Comprehensive benefits package including unlimited paid time off
- Medical/dental/vision coverage
- Life insurance
- Paid parental leave
