Analog Mixed Signal IC Design Engineer

My client specializes in high-speed optical communication, developing gigabit and multi-gigabit transceivers for automotive, industrial, and home networking applications.

As part of their growth plans, they are seeking an experienced Analog IC Designer to join their Spanish team.

Tasks and Responsibilities:

* Specification of the analog and mixed signal blocks that are embedded in the system (ADC, DAC, PLL, data interfaces, optoelectronics …).
* Design (from schematic to full verification at extracted level) of the analog and mixed-signal blocks in sub-nanometric CMOS processes. It means being involved in the full AMS design flow: system-level design, schematic, layout and full verification.
* Definition of layout guidelines for layout engineers and review of their work.
* Collaboration with the test engineers for the testing definition of the fabricated ICs. Review and analysis of lab characterization data for validation and correlation with simulation results.
* Cooperation with the rest of the team to define the characterization tests for the circuits in which the analog and mixed-signal blocks are integrated.
* Cooperation with the system-level engineers for the generation of models of analog and mixed-signal blocks for use in system-level evaluation.
* Assist with the integration of the complete analog subsystem to be used in complex mixed-signal design within integrated digital logic. This will include mixed-signal verification with the digital processing
* Research on new architectures and efficient solutions for the future products of the company and generation of new patents.
* Internal meeting presentation and documentation of developed work.

Requirements:

* MSc/PhD in Electronics, Electrical, Computer Engineering or relevant field.
* At least five years of experience in similar tasks.

Desirable Competences:

Knowledge

* Experience in delivering successful design in silicon: product definition, characterization, qualification and productization.
* Experience on designing full-custom analog IP blocks in sub-nanometric CMOS technology (65nm/28nm or below), as well as with analog and mixed-signal IC EDA tools, such as Cadence or Synopsys.
* Design (from schematic to full verification at extracted level) of the analog and mixed-signal blocks in sub-nanometric CMOS processes.
* Good knowledge of full-custom analog layout techniques, including the ability to manage and review the work of others.
* Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.

Personal Profile

* Dynamic person with motivation and taste for his or her work: analytical, organized and with high personal motivation, ready to integrate into a young team.
