Analog Design Engineer

Qualifications

• Basic Requirements (Must-Haves)
• Bachelor’s & Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field of study
• 2+ years of analog circuit design.
• Preferred Skills & "Good to Have"
• Active involvement with a customer. Candidate would be expected to interact and collaborate with a sense of ownership with customers and all product development team members including design, layout, systems, verification, validation, test and program management
• IC system partitioning and architectural tradeoff analysis
• Block level topology selection, hand analysis, and IC transistor level implementation
• Schematic generation and simulation on modern CAD tools (Cadence tool set)
• Worst case identification, top level simulation, Monte Carlo analysis, and simulation data analysis
• Expertise in tools e.g. Spectre, Simplis, Matlab and AMS System level understanding and analysis; and the ability to translate requirements to an IC spec level
• Physical layout management, signal grounding and routing tradeoffs, die area optimization
• Post layout parasitic extraction and simulation, verification of all IC level performance metrics
• Top level verification, block level modelling, top level simulation
• Knowledge of device physics and process technologies tradeoffs that are applicable to Power IC design
• Must budget time, manage schedule and complete complex IC design tasks on time
• Must have depth of experience and meticulous approach to assure high quality results
• Must account for limitations of system level specifications, testability, debug, characterization, production and yield targets in the IC design phase.
• Must work well with colleagues and customers to foster a highly creative, interesting, productive and fun working environment.
• Organizational Skills: Ability to work well with internal cross functional teams. Must successfully and appropriately interface with external customers. Project management, time management, multi-tasking, problem solving and communication (written and oral) are important skills in this role. Must be able to manage assigned tasks with minimal supervision. Team and People Skills: Candidate must be team oriented and must be able to work with TI-internal and external groups (systems, test, sales, marketing, customers, etc.) to resolve issues and generate business success. The ability to work well with others and to perform in a team environment is essential. Projects and Deliverables: The main deliverable is the timely release of meticulously analysed and simulated IC designs or sub-sections of designs for custom designs with tight schedules. These designs should lead to cost-effective, high quality, bug-free products that fully meet our customer’s end-system requirements.
