Analog IC Design Engineer

Job Title

Analog IC Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and develop mixed-signal analog integrated circuits for consumer, mobile and communications applications. Work on IC architecture, circuit design, silicon evaluation and transfer to production in a cross-functional engineering team based in Dallas, TX.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting specifies approximately 5 years of relevant analog/mixed-signal IC design experience.

Responsibilities

Core responsibilities include hands-on circuit design, technical leadership of projects, and collaboration across design, verification and product teams.

• Design, develop, modify and evaluate analog and mixed-signal IC blocks and subsystems.
• Assign tasks, provide design guidance to team members, set schedules and monitor project progress.
• Evaluate intermediate and final results during design and silicon evaluation to meet technical objectives.
• Work with physical designers and monitor IC layout progress and layout-related issues.
• Collaborate with design verification prior to pattern generation and with validation/product/test during production transfer.
• Contribute to product documentation such as product briefs, datasheets and application notes.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; listed concisely.

• Must-have: 5+ years of practical experience in mixed-signal analog IC design (degree requirements summarized in Education Requirements below).
• Must-have: Experience with Cadence tools including Maestro and Spectre simulator.
• Must-have: Hands-on experience with analog blocks such as Class-D amps, DACs, bandgap references, LDOs, PLLs, boost converters, oscillators and sensing circuits.
• Must-have: Experience with subblocks (muxes, amplifiers, supply generators, level shifters) and layout concepts: matching, critical routing, WPE, noise isolation, antenna effects and EM considerations.
• Must-have: Experience collaborating with layout, verification, validation and test teams through silicon bring-up and transfer to production.
• Nice-to-have: Experience producing product briefs/datasheets, working with customers, or leading small design teams.

Education Requirements

Minimum stated in the qualifications: Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field plus 5 years of experience in mixed-signal analog IC design.
