Job Summary:
The IC System Architect is an integral part of the integrated circuit design team. Working in close collaboration with analog, digital, firmware design engineers, they are responsible for aiding in the initial feasibility analysis and fabrication process selection. The individual follows the design through to defining a circuit level architecture and verifying the evolving implementation continues to meet the application requirements.

Responsibilities:

• Assessing system level requirements to meet target applications
• Mapping system level requirements on to integrated circuit functional blocks
• Working directly as part of the IC design team to find the optimal power, performance and cost tradeoffs
• Preliminary circuit-level feasibility for critical elements
• Detailed modelling of IC and external components to project target performance
• Algorithm development for on-chip calibration and signal conditioning

Minimum Qualifications:

• A Bachelor's Degree in a relevant field such as electrical engineering etc.
• 10 years direct industry experience in IC development for high speed communications systems
• High speed analog and mixed signal circuit design
• Through understanding of linear and non-linear channel simulation techniques
• Deep understanding of signal equalization techniques and clock-and-data recovery for wideband, multi-gigabit systems
