Job Summary

Seeking an experienced analog/mixed-signal design engineer for developing complex mixed-signal ICs for Timing and Infrastructure applications. The position requires a strong analog mixed-signal design background including a strong history of innovative product and IP definition and design.  Depending on experience level, the individual will participate in product roadmaps, definition, technology selection, design, and verification. The individual will have a role in defining and implementing the overall system architecture, designing transistor-level analog circuit blocks, simulating sub-system performance, creating and using behavioral models of blocks and the entire IC, doing and/or supervising physical layout, verifying circuit and chip-level operation and performance, and assisting with tape-out related activities. Responsibilities will also include detailed documentation, silicon evaluation and debugging, production test development support, customer support, and other activities as required for the achievement of high volume production.
