Analog Mix Signal Verification Engineer

The Role:

Low Power Advanced Development team is seeking talented, self-motivated individuals to help develop low power innovations that enable industry-leading power efficient computing and graphics products. We have openings for R&D engineers to serve as key contributors in small project teams working on low power advanced development projects. 

The Person:

A candidate who is seeking challenging projects in low power design using the latest modern semiconductor technologies, who is eager to learn and is a good team player.

Key Responsibilities:

• Working on low power circuit design for CPU and/or GPU applications, custom mixed-signal circuits and logic design in advanced CMOS technologies using custom and semi-custom physical design flows
• Design, simulate, and verify analog, high speed digital, and mixed-signal circuits
• Design for optimum power/speed/area efficiency
• Closely work with and supervise layout/mask designers by providing annotated schematics, floor plans, layout, reliability and manufacturability design guidelines
• Experience in back-end design verification tools and flows including debugging LVS and DRC issues in collaboration with the layout team
• Work in collaboration with Physical Design Engineers in chip level planning and integrations
• Create or in collaboration with other team members design reviews, technical reports, and other documentation required for meeting the design quality and for the tapeout signoff

Preferred Experience:

• Requires strong understanding of analog/mixed signal design concepts and CMOS processes
• Experience in Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) design, Frequency-Locked Loop (FLL) design, Oscillators, High Speed Clock circuits, Linear and Switching voltage regulators, DAC, voltage comparators
• Knowledge in ADC design is a plus
• Cadence’s custom IC design environment with special emphasis on Virtuoso schematic/layout design entry tools
• Synopsys Custom Designer schematic/layout design entry tool experience is a plus
• Analog/mixed signal circuit simulators, specifically Hspice, Spectre, SpectreRF
• Design automation (scripting, python, perl, csh)
• Verilog-A modelling
• Matlab
• Knowledge in the digital design flows including Verilog HDL is a plus
• Strong communication skills, teamwork experience and a quick learner in a fast-moving environment
