Associate Engineer, Mixed-Signal Design Engineering
The CTO Office's Platform IP Development group is seeking an entry-level analog/power IC designer to join our team. As part of this role, you will develop key strategic IP that will be leveraged across multiple businesses/product opportunities throughout the company. A key focus area for this position includes interacting with internal customers to communicate, improve, and maintain developed IP. Primary IP design area targets power management; however, design efforts will span a wide application range including precision references, IOs, and mixed-signal/analog circuitry.
Responsibilities include:
- Work with teams across the company to support IP integration
- Design, simulate, and verify analog and mixed-signal integrated IP, taking developments from definition to completion
- Work closely with layout engineers to determine best strategies for minimizing parasitic/proximity effects and to optimize matching and overall performance
- Create test/characterization plans to fully evaluate/debug IP
- Document and present each design and corresponding results
- Support characterization/debug in the lab/ATE environments
Qualifications/Requirements:
- MSEE or PhD, concentration of analog or mixed-signal IC design
- Good written and verbal communication skills (clarity of message with good attention to detail)
- Efficient and organized work methodology for optimal multi-tasking
- Comfortable using Cadence design/simulation tools
- Understands parasitic/proximity layout effects and mitigation/optimization techniques
- Ability to problem solve at the circuit/systems levels
- Skilled with characterization/debug in a lab/ATE environment
- Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of team
- Passionate about learning different areas in design, applications, and products
Desirable:
- Experience with analog or mixed-signal product development
- IC Design exposure to switching power applications
