Staff Analog IC Design Engineer

Job Summary

Analog Staff Design Engineer

As part of the Sensor Interface Division, the Design Team in Bangalore develops and brings to production low-power high speed mixed-signal ICs for automotive Ethernet and automotive serdes. We are looking to expand our design team with an Analog IC Design Engineer with PLL design experience. You will architect, specify and implement PLL and other sub systems and help in PLL chip-level integration, chip-level simulations and silicon validation for the above mentioned high speed communication chips.

What You'll Need

• Must have a BSEE, MSEE or Ph.D. with at least 6-10 + years of IC design work experience
• Extensive experience in high performance complete PLL design from scratch is required with at least 1 tape out silicon success.
• Experience in designing low phase noise/jitter integer PLLs, fractional-N synthesizers.
• Good knowledge of band gaps, bias, opamps, LDOs, feedback and compensation techniques.
• Experience in VCO design including but not limited to LC VCOs.
• Must have Strong knowledge of loop design to optimize for phase noise/jitter, lock time, reference spur, area, power.
• Good knowledge of low noise design techniques.
• Good knowledge of high precision techniques in presence of device mismatch
• Experience in C/Matlab/VerilogA modeling
• Understand device physics and demonstrated ability to apply that to optimize noise, power, area, and frequency of PLL blocks.
• System knowledge of Automotive serdes/ethernet and its link budget analysis will be added advantage
• Good working experience in using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, etc. to validate analog designs.
• Experience in working with production test engineers to firm up test plans and design for testability details.
• Experience with IP integration and Mixed-Signal IC verification
• Good English written and verbal communication skills.

What Else You May Bring

• Experience with:
  • Leading project activities
  • Lab measurements and characterization equipment
  • Scripting languages
  • Digital design

What You'll Do

• Participate in feasibility studies and architecture definitions of new products.
• Generate detailed specifications and verification plans for analog blocks and systems especially PLL
• Develop Matlab Verilog A models of analog blocks related to PLL.
• Develop low-power high speed analog systems Design, verification Layout supervision.
• Integrate analog blocks into complex mixed-signals System-on-Chip SoC designs.
• Perform top-level Mixed-Signal simulations.
• Silicon Evaluation and characterization of designed blocks in the lab.
• Support the production test development and qualification.
• Contribute to design methodology and design flow improvements.
