About the Role

As a Sr. Mixed Signal Design Engineer you will be part of a team designing various mixed-signal circuit designs on Intel FPGAs such as voltage regulators, bandgaps and bias circuits, Analog to digital converter (ADC), Delay locked loops (DLLs), high speed clock distribution and other clocking circuits, high speed transmitters and receivers on advanced processes nodes and have an opportunity to work on a diverse set of blocks and tasks in all phases of the design. The ideal candidate will be an independent self-starter who can own/design a custom analog or digital IP. An important part of this role is delivering all aspects of the design and collateral, including timing and reliability collateral. You should be a motivated team-player who is able to work with cross-functional and cross-geo teams to understand, articulate and solve problems .

Job Description

• Technical path-finding, innovation, micro-architecture and design of analog/mixed-signal circuits including regulators and bandgaps to meet architectural specifications in advanced process nodes. Contribute to architectural trade-off studies and design methodology improvements.
• Design, develop and deliver circuit building block schematic, perform pre layout and post layout design optimization to meet design specification across PVT, process variation sensitivity analysis, aging, EOS, RV checks for design reliability.
• Work with custom layout team to define plan (floorplan, routing, matching, metal grid etc) to meet circuit performance
• Collateral generation like circuit Integration spec, BMOD, timing model, power model, ICCT, IBIS, alpha numbers.
• Own specifications and design verification plans covering functionality, performance and reliability meeting high volume productization requirement.
• Collaborate with logic designer, logic verification designer, structural physical design engineers, integration engineers, signal integrity and power deliver engineer to define clear collateral handoff requirements to ensure efficient IP integration.
• Perform post silicon data analysis and debug and make necessary design enhancement to meet design specification.
• Conduct design reviews; actively contribute to design reviews
• Represent the team on related IP in cross-functional meetings and co-ordination of deliverables
• Work with external IP vendors as point of contact for analog designs

Soft Skills:

• Good communication and presentation skills to enable cross functional collaboration
• Effective prioritization and time management skills
• Willing to work in a dynamically changing, cross geographical, cross functional environment
• Attention to detail to ensure quality and ingenuity and drive to solve issues
• Be a team player and willing to work autonomously and also collaboratively/flexibility in a team environment
• Be a mentor and willing to guide/train upcoming engineers
