  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering with 2+ years of experience in analog or mixed-signal integrated circuit design, or a Master's degree with 2+ years of ASIC design experience, or a PhD in Electrical Engineering.
  • 2+ years of experience using design tools such as CADENCE, SPICE, MATLAB, and/or Verilog/VHDL.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to architecture and circuit designs for one or more blocks and participate in design reviews.
  • Oversee block-level layout of one or more blocks in collaboration with layout teams.
  • Define and run simulations and analyses on designs, documenting results to improve and verify designs.
  • Program and run tests to identify bugs in designs and assist junior team members with debugging.
  • Consult with internal or external users to assist with implementation and achieve goal alignment.
  • Maintain understanding of technical domain and build knowledge of other domains for integration.
  • Write detailed technical documentation and design descriptions to guide users and customers.
  • Collaborate with team members to generate innovative ideas.

Benefits
