Principal High Speed Analog/Mixed Signal Designer

Monolithic Power Systems, Inc.•San Jose, CA

1d•Onsite

About The Position

The candidate will be part of the memory design team supporting the definition, specification, system simulation, and implementation of future DDR- and LPDDR-related product IPs. The work focuses on circuit architecture and design of critical high-speed analog and digital blocks, and defining specifications for the high-speed data path. The position is located in San Jose, US.

Requirements

Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering and at least 7 years of analog/mixed-signal circuit design experience, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and at least 5 years of such experience.
Prior experience with high-speed analog circuits such as transmitters, receivers, PLLs, DLLs, phase interpolators, or clock distribution.
Solid knowledge of design principles for practical design tradeoffs.
Solid knowledge of basic building blocks such as bias circuits, op-amps, and LDOs.

Nice To Haves

Experience designing memory interfaces such as DDR4/DDR5 or serial links such as PCIe.
Experience with modeling using Verilog-A, Verilog, or MATLAB.
Experience working on leading R&D and future technology development projects.

Responsibilities

Own high-speed analog/mixed-signal designs at chip and block level.
Design, simulate, and characterize high-performance, high-speed circuits.
Create high-level models for design tradeoff analysis and behavioral models for verification simulations.
Work with digital and system teams to define architecture and design plans that meet budget, schedule, and project deliverable goals.
Create floor plans and work with the layout team to demonstrate post-extraction performance.
Document analysis and simulation results to show that the design meets critical electrical and timing parameters and supports the pre-silicon verification flow.
Work with the lab and system teams on test plans, silicon bring-up, and characterization.
Understand applicable standards and communicate their relevance to the team and project.
Mentor junior designers.
Participate in and contribute to development flows that improve design execution efficiency and quality.
