Analog IC Designer

The Principal Analog IC Designer is responsible for the design and development of analog/mixed signal IC circuit blocks from initial concept/specification through final verification of conformance to customer specifications. Candidate’s background should include a minimum of 7 years of experience in CMOS SerDes or high-speed I/O IC design and development. Working knowledge of a set of common SerDes standards and their electrical requirements is a plus. Must have a thorough understanding of jitter and signal equalization techniques. Proficient design experience in most of the following SerDes circuit blocks: Driver; Receiver; Serializer; Deserializer; Phase Interpolator; Low jitter PLL; High Speed Clock Distribution; ADC and DAC; Bias and Bandgap; and Voltage Regulators. Excellent problem solving skills, analog aptitude, good communication skills, and ability to work cooperatively in a team environment. Position requires proficiency in using CAD tools for circuit simulation, layout, and physical verification. Cadence tool experience, lab test experience, and design experience at >10Gbps and in <28nm technologies are a plus. MS or PhD in EE.
