As an Integrated Circuit Designer, you will be part of a key team designing sophisticated advanced node CMOS products.

Key Job Duties:
  • The design and development of the layout for integrated circuits according to electronics engineering principles, using software to create design schematics and diagrams. This will include [developing and verifying circuits such as PLL, DLL, ADC, regulators, amplifiers, TX, RX, and CDRs to meet performance targets].
  • The management of manufacturing process of the products, including technology yield and performance of the products.
  • The development of test programmes and procedures to ensure the products meet their performance specifications. This will include [working on analog and clocking blocks for connectivity applications, using industry-standard tools like Spectre and MATLAB].
  • The provision of advice on aspects of semiconductor process technology and maintain and repair semiconductor process equipment.

Basic Qualifications
  • Strong academic and technical background in electrical engineering. A Master's or PhD degree in EE is required, preferably from a top-tier university.
  • 2+ years of experience supporting or developing complex analog IC designs.

Required Experience:
  • Hands-on experience in designing high-speed mixed-signal circuits, including ADC/DAC data converters, RX front-end, TX driver/serializer, low-jitter PLLs, TX/RX calibration, low-jitter CLK distribution and other high-speed analog circuits is a must.
  • Have a deep understanding of biasing, band-gaps, reference circuits, opamps, comparators and other analog circuits.
  • Solid track-record for implementation of analog circuits high-speed data transmissions.
  • Design and tapeout experience in advanced CMOS nodes (ex. 20nm or newer) is a must.
  • Solid fundamentals in detailed transistor-level design, feedback/stability analysis, and noise/jitter analysis.
  • Knowledge of TIA design and drivers for optical applications is highly desirable.
  • Experience in RFIC design for wireless or wireline communication systems is highly desirable.
  • Strong technical independent contributor with a proven ability to drive results.
  • Excellent teamwork, presentation, and documentation skills.
  • Ability to collaborate with global teams across multiple time zones and deliver under pressure with strict deadlines.
  • Strong experience in lab chip bring-up and debugging efforts.

Preferred Experience:
  • Relevant research publications and/or patents in analog or RF IC design.
  • Familiarity in programming/scripting languages such as Python, Matlab, or C.
  • Experience with PCB design.
  • Familiarity with Verilog RTL or DSP design concepts.
  • Knowledge of optical transceivers.
  • Expertise in ESD protection techniques and IC packaging methodologies.
