Our client is a fabless semiconductor startup that has developed a programmable analog signal processing platform that provides substantial gains in performance and reductions in power consumption and cost (by factors of over 10x), compared to digital signal processing platforms. The first suite of products from the company, implemented in a standard CMOS process, is targeted at the wireless cellular infrastructure market and enables operators and system OEMs to deploy cellular networks at greatly reduced power, complexity, and cost. Our client is currently a revenue-stage company with a growing roster of customers.
SENIOR RF IC / ANALOG MIXED-SIGNAL DESIGN ENGINEER
Our client is looking for talented and motivated designers who are interested in working on new and exciting technologies. In this senior RF IC / analog mixed-signal design engineering position, you will be part of a dynamic team that designs leading-edge RF and analog circuits for RF CMOS SoCs. You will be given the opportunity to work on challenging and novel circuits, including the company’s unique RF Analog Signal Processor. This position reports to the Director of Analog Design.
Job Description
- Design of RF, analog, mixed signal circuits in standard CMOS for SoC
- Hands-on circuit design, layout, and verification of CMOS circuit blocks such as mixers, LNAs, amplifiers, PLLs, ADC/DACs, filters, and dedicated analog processing circuits
- Verify circuits and perform simulations using SpectreRF and AMS Designer within the Cadence IC design suite
- Perform layout and layout verification, including parasitic extraction using Virtuoso and Assura based tools
- Evaluate, measure, and debug silicon in the laboratory
- Communicate simulation results and measurement data to management and design team
Job Requirements
- Minimum of MSEE degree plus 3 years of professional, progressive experience in Analog, Mixed-signal, or RF IC design
- Proven track record of designing CMOS RF/Analog circuits that have been manufactured in high-volume production and that are stable over process, voltage, and temperature corners
- Strong understanding of system-on-a-chip isolation techniques
- Strong hands-on experience with Cadence-based IC layout, parasitic extraction, resimulation, and verification of RF circuits
- Experience with design for test approaches, and development of characterization and production test plans
- Strong hands-on experience in the lab with silicon evaluation, debugging, characterization, and bring up
- Knowledge of CMOS technology (device physics, manufacturing process, DFM, ESD)
- Self-driven personality, the ability to work independently, and effective time-management skills
- Excellent communication skills, both oral and written
- Excellent technical reporting skills, both oral and written
