About The Position

We are looking for a hands-on director level electrical design engineer with both good analog mixed-signal CMOS design background and advanced packaging integration experience. In this role, you will assist with the design of: 1: mixed-signal integrated circuits for innovative semiconductor fabrication tools. 2: advanced packaging chiplet integration design. If you have a strong ability to learn, good analysis & problem-solving skills, are enthusiastic about questioning current norms and pushing the boundaries of technology, this is the ideal position for you. Our tight-knit group offers a unique opportunity to grow your design skills while you collaborate in the development of different types of analog mixed-signal circuits such as bandgap voltage reference, low-noise amplifiers, data converters, active filters, etc. Other specific responsibilities include:

Requirements

• M.S. in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent) with at least 5 years of industry experience in design of mixed-signal ASICs.
• Analog circuit design experience in DACs, ADCs, amplifiers, current drivers, SERDES, linear regulators, and other various supporting circuitry in CMOS processes. (high voltage experience is a plus).
• Good understanding of IC device physics, spice models, ESD, latch-up, and manufacturing technology are also required.
• Proficient in the use of Cadence's IC design environment (Virtuoso Schematic/Layout), analog circuit simulation (Spectre/ADE), and digital RTL design (SystemVerilog).
• Advanced Packaging design experience in chiplet integration and testing.
• UCIe/BoW integration experience is must.
• Good understanding of SI/PI is required.

Nice To Haves

• Knowledge of mixed mode simulation (Cadence AMS Designer) is a plus.
• Previous experience with testing and characterization of ASICs is very desirable.
• Proficiency in the use of Python to generate test code for silicon verification & characterization.
• Knowledge of lab equipment including digital oscilloscopes, signal generators and Semiconductor Automatic Testers (Advantest/ATE).

Responsibilities

• Design system level architecture and spec for IC.
• Translate IC fabrication process capabilities into real world designs.
• Design, simulate, and verify analog and digital CMOS circuits.
• Design, simulate, and verify SI/PI integration of chiplet integration.
• Review and supervise custom layout of analog circuits at the block & chip level.
• Design experiments, test boards, and test programs for silicon characterization.
• Assist with evaluation and troubleshooting of bench tests during silicon characterization.
• Schedule tasks and goals to complete designs on time that meet all specifications.
• Negotiate specifications with internal customers and other stakeholders.
