Principal Engineer - Analog Design

Microchip Technology Inc.•Ottawa, ON

1d•CA$107,000 - CA$157,000

About The Position

The Timing and Communication Group (TCG) at Microchip has an open vacancy for principal analog design engineer. The responsibility spans wide range of activities such as the design, simulation and validation of analog integrated circuits (ICs). The products are usually mixed signal SOC designs. The Analog team develops the critical IP blocks used in the TCG timing products. These circuits include multi-GHz PLL circuits, high speed digital circuits, MEMS drivers and high-speed performance IO pads.

Requirements

Master’s degree or PhD in electrical engineering
Minimum 5 years of direct experience working on analog and mixed-signal circuits.
High-speed and analog circuit design experience including the following: ADCs, DACs, Filters, PLLs, DLLs, and high-speed I/Os.
Strong fundamentals in circuit theory, design, and layout
Hands-on experience in scripting and automation using skill language, python, Perl and tcl
Strong knowledge in Cadence IC design flow and tools
Strong knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation

Nice To Haves

Expertise in the system design of mixed signal circuits is preferred
Good communication, teamwork skills and experience working with multi-site teams are desirable

Responsibilities

Work with analog design leads and architects to design specific analog IP blocks.
Simulate analog circuits across process corners and operating conditions.
Develop models of design blocks for inclusion in top-level mixed-signal simulations.
Perform block-level validation of silicon process devices and system-level laboratory evaluation.
