- Thorough familiarity with high-speed, high-resolution analog-to-digital (ADC) or digital-to-analog (DAC) data converter design techniques. Experience in designing high performance building block circuits such as bandgap reference, op-amp, comparators, oscillators, DLL, PLL etc.
- Strong intuitive and analytical understanding of transistor-level circuit design including noise and mismatch analysis
- Experience with analog and digital behavioral modeling, and/or synthesis of digital control blocks
- Familiar with Cadence schematic capture, virtuoso, Spectre and/or HSPICE circuit simulation tools
- Familiar with designing circuits for electromigration and ESD compliance in submicron CMOS process
- Must be able to work independently as well as within a team.
- Must possess strong written and verbal communication skills with an ability to work with teams spread across geographic locations
- Automate and parameterize existing high-performance transistor-level IP designs.
- Work as a member of the Automation Compiler Team, driving innovation.
- Lead the effort to transform manual designs into parameterized representations for versatile use.
- Utilize coding skills, preferably in Python and/or Skill, to help the compiler team achieve automation goals.
- Strong motivation for innovation and continuous improvement in automation processes.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Ability and drive to adapt to new technologies and methodologies.
