Sr. Analog IC Design Engineer – Project Lead

The job duty is the responsibility of a complete design flow in order to realize a technological transfer of an existing product. Therefore, primary activities include the schematic capture, the design analysis, performance validation over process variations, layout realization/verification. The candidate’s profile must show a strong emphasis on analog design, but also a good aptitude in sophisticated layout, able to by supervise the work of layout engineers.

Requirements
  • M.S. degree or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 5 years experience in analog or mixed-mode IC design.
  • Hands-on experience with BiCMOS submicron processes (0.25m or below) at the transistor level.
  • Hands-on experience with the cadence design environment, including simulation (spectre/spectre RF) and layout tools (virtuoso).
  • Expert in analog baseband circuit design (active filters, amplifiers, mixer, biasing and reference circuits…), such as:
    • Transconductor amplifier circuits, linearization techniques, dynamic range optimization…
    • Stabilities issues in multi-stages feedback loops,
    • Common mode rejection techniques

Some experience/knowledge in RF IC design is a plus.
Solid theoretical basis of transistor model for MOS as well as bipolar devices; good understanding of noise, flicker noise, offsets, mismatches and linearity issues.


Responsibilities

  • Transfer schematics in the new design kit, analyze designs of the system with the new process, debug eventual issues and validate the bloc functionality over corner deviations.
  • Responsible for interacting directly with other designers and the design architect to ensure the compatibility of his/her work with the overall system.
  • Develop a layout methodology for an efficient technological transfer and supervise the work of layout engineers.
  • Manage his/her time and effort in order to meet targeted deadlines.
