R&D Engineer Hardware

Overview

Design and implement analog/mixed-signal circuits in advanced CMOS technology for integration in system-on-chip products.

• understand how circuits work
• develop and improve new and existing circuit solutions to simulate circuits
• present and receive technical feedback at reviews
• Design, model, document and communicate Analog IP to internal customers: create specs
• create circuit models to define package and pc board requirements
• Characterize and debug analog designs for manufacturability
• develop circuit test plans and testing (individually or with the DVT group)
• work alongside operations to test and do QA
• Support system and field applications engineers: answer internal and external customer questions
• Understand system level architectural design of broadband communication So Cs
• participates in BU meetings to come up with solutions for specific products
• Be able to work in a group setting: share expertise to provide and receive feedback
• opportunity to work on a wide variety of circuits
• opportunity to interact with world-class experts in the Analog field to communicate technical issues
• work with team members to resolve technical issues
• Meet deadlines and schedules as part of a team effort
• help estimate time to accomplish tasks
• communicate progress regularly
• identify and resolve schedule issues

• Typically requires a BSEE with 8+ years of experience or an MSEE with 6+ years of experience or PhD with 3+ years of experience
• Verbal and written communication skills to work with & direct others in a team
• Transistor-level analog circuit design skills
• Knowledge of CMOS device operating regions & characteristics
• Knowledge of common circuit topologies used in CMOS analog circuits, particularly in circuits running at 1 GHz and above
• Knowledge of Analog circuit design trade-offs and parameters (e.g. noise & distortion, frequency-response, mis-match, bandwidth, stability & settling limitations)
• knowledge of continuous-time & discrete-time signal processing
• knowledge of signal processing in analog filters, analog-to-digital converters, digital-to-analog converters, and feedback control loops
• Experience with transistor-level simulation tools, custom layout tools and common lab equipment (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, etc.)
• Knowledge and experience working with physical layout of CMOS circuits
• Experience with system-level analog design including modeling behavioral operation of complex analog & mixed-signal circuits such as ADCs or filters (e.g. matlab or verilog
