Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop complex analog and mixed-signal circuits, including transmitters (TX), receivers (RX), amplifiers, filters, clocking systems, and on-die voltage regulators
• Perform circuit analysis and tradeoffs to optimize power, performance, area, timing, and yield
• Create and validate behavioral models for analog and mixed-signal IPs for system-level integration
• Develop and oversee floorplans and layouts while ensuring adherence to design rules and robustness
• Conduct small signal analysis, stability testing, and compensation of feedback loops to meet performance specifications
• Collaborate with architecture, layout, and validation teams to ensure seamless integration of designs into products
• Author microarchitecture specifications, test plans, and documentation for design verification and validation
• Conduct post-silicon validation and debug to ensure design functionality and performance meet product requirements
• Provide technical mentorship and contribute to design reviews to enhance team-wide engineering excellence
• Leverage industry-standard tools and methodologies, such as Synopsys and Cadence, for design and simulation

You should demonstrate the following professional traits to be successful:

• Effective collaborator who works well across cross-disciplinary teams including architecture, layout, and validation
• Strong problem-solver with a system-level mindset and the ability to navigate complex technical tradeoffs
• Committed to engineering excellence through mentorship, thorough documentation, and active participation in design reviews

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications
