Role Summary
The Senior Analog IC Design Engineer is responsible for the design and development of analog, mixed-signal IC circuit blocks from initial specification and architecture to final, post-silicon verification to ensure specifications are met.
Experience Level
Level - Senior
Responsibilities
- Analog, mixed-signal circuit design and simulation.
- Work with mask designers to deliver physical design.
- Integration of analog/mixed-signal blocks into large, complex, digital chips.
- Define bench-level test plans for post-silicon characterization.
- Conduct post-silicon measurements, characterization, and debug.
- Lead and mentor junior engineers.
Requirements
