Your tasks

We are looking for a Principal Analog Designer to further strengthen our R&D team. As a first assignment you will be focused on enabling external customers to design in our technologies through a reusable analog IP library to expand our foundry business.

• Expand and maintain the full catalog of analog and mixed signal IPs (ADCs, DACs, amplifiers, oscillators, PLLs, LDOs, PORs, sensors, IO/ESD, memories, etc.);
• Provide complete models, verification data, simulation test benches, documentation, and IP revision/history tracking;
• Execute and supervises block-level and top-level layout activities to ensure optimum circuit performance;
• Power User level knowledge of SPICE/Spectre testbench creation and simulations, including: PVT, Monte Carlo, mixed signal, modelling, optimization;
• Highly creative problem solver, able to generate innovative, new next-generation IP and file patents;
• Generation of detailed relevant documentation, including: architectural/concept reviews, design gate reviews, internal design documents, test requirements, etc.;
• Maintain structured bug tracking, root cause analysis and customer notification flows;
• Facilitate also internal reuse by ensuring IPs are robust, documented, and straightforward to integrate into product designs by our broad R&D organization.

Who we are looking for

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 8 years of experience or PhD with 5 years of experience, with an emphasis in analog/mixed signal Integrated Circuit Design;
• Experience with technical leadership in mixed signal IC Design, block level specifications, simulation, modelling, optimizing layout for performance, etc.;
• “Expert level” transistor-level design knowledge and experience of standard analog building blocks, including Bandgap references, current references, OPAMP, LDO, ADCs, charge pumps;
• Excellent communication skills (both oral and written) are required, as customer-level technical interface and design/team leadership are necessary under high-pressure situations;
• Experience with relevant CAD tools (including Cadence Virtuoso, SPICE, etc.);
• Knowledge of English is mandatory, German is an advantage.
