Full Job Description
About this Role

Join a cutting-edge team at the forefront of silicon photonics and analog circuit design! As a member of the analog team, you'll collaborate with our architects and engineers to develop innovative analog and mixed-signal (AMS) solutions for next-generation optical and wireline communication systems.

* We are currently hiring for multiple levels for this role. Your level and compensation will be determined by your experience, education, and location.
Responsibilities
  • Design analog/mixed-signal (AMS) circuits used in control loops, such as data converters, amplifiers, drivers, comparators, bandgap, and more
  • Support micro-architecture development with chip architects by conducting feasibility studies
  • Collaborate with members of our design engineering teams (system, digital, analog, photonics/laser) to define electrical requirements
  • Document design simulations and verifications towards formal design reviews
  • Drive block-level floorplan, mask design views, and their reviews
  • Run post-layout and mixed-signal top-level simulations to validate integration
  • Define production and bench-level test plans
  • Validate the performance of the circuits in the lab
Qualifications
  • MS with 8+ years of relevant experience, OR Ph.D. with 5+ years of industry experience designing analog and mixed-signal circuits
  • Solid understanding of CMOS device characteristics, noise, mismatch, linearity, and design trade-offs
  • Experience with Cadence Design Environment
  • Experience in testing analog circuits in a lab environment
  • Ability to work collaboratively with people across multiple functional areas
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience interfacing with Silicon photonics (MZM, Ring) or laser IC is a plus
  • Experience in chip top-level design is a plus
