Principal Analog/Mixed-Signal CAD Engineer
About The Position
This role is within the Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Methodology team, supporting AMS and Silicon Photonics IC design teams. The engineer will be responsible for setting up, maintaining, and supporting the AMS simulation environment for CMOS FinFET and BiCMOS high-speed design projects. This includes working closely with analog design teams and EDA vendors to resolve simulation-related issues, collaborating with TCAD and foundry technology teams on device/circuit modeling, and periodically evaluating/benchmarking AMS simulation tools. The position also involves defining, developing, and validating custom circuit checks and model QA flows, as well as creating automation scripts to enhance design/verification team efficiency.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and 5-10 years of related professional experience or Master’s degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 3-5 years of experience or equivalent professional experience in lieu of a formal degree
- Experience in setting up and maintaining analog/mixed-signal simulation flows for advanced FinFET process technologies
- Proficient in using industry standard analog/mixed-signal simulation tools such as ADE, AMS Designer, Spectre, FineSim, AFS, etc.
- Good understanding of AMS flows including design entry, simulation, parasitic extraction and post-layout simulation
- Understanding of device models and experience in debugging complex high speed analog/RF simulation issues
- Good written and verbal communication skills along with the ability to collaborate well with cross-functional teams.
