Senior Analog​/Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer

LMI is currently hiring for the position listed below. We offer an exciting and flexible work environment, competitive salary, generous medical and dental insurance, and extensive career growth opportunities.

Responsibilities – Develop ICs from concept through production, involving the generation of specifications, generating schematics/worse case simulations and directing the mask design through final tape-out. Develop test plans for engineering evaluation, perform compliance testing and review production test activities. Validate product and characterization data for all assigned products. Define test methodologies that harmonize test requirements from test/compliance agencies. Will be responsible for project design and technical interface between the customer, mask designers, product engineers and senior management.

Requirements

• BSEE with 10 plus years of experience or MSEE with 8 plus years of experience designing integrated circuits at the transistor level.
• Strong analog and/or mixed signal IC design using CMOS, BiMOS or Bipolar technology.
• Strong expertise in analog signal processing design using references (bandgap or equivalent), amplifiers (voltage/current/transimpedance), switch‑cap, active filters, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, and oscillators. Knowledge of CAD schematic capture and simulation tools (Mentor Graphics/Cadence, etc.).
• Deep knowledge of device physics and models is a plus.
• Strong communications (written/verbal) and interpersonal skills.

• Strong RF and analog IC design capability using CMOS, BiMOS, SiGe and GaAs processes.
• Strong expertise in all facets of RF IC design including LNAs, mixers, oscillators, PLL, filters, power amps and high speed data acquisition.
• In particular, experience developing electronics for OC-768 and 100G markets. Expertise with the following blocks: clock/data recovery, trans‑impedance amplifier, limiting amplifier, phase lock loops, clock multiplication unit, MUX, DMUX, and modulator driver. Experience developing these circuits in SiGe and CMOS/SOI desirable.
• Knowledge of Mentor Graphics and/or Cadence Design Systems.
• Good communications (written/verbal) and interpersonal skills.

Responsibilities – Design and implement test solutions for analog and mixed signal integrated circuits. Perform yield analysis, interface with design engineering and customers regarding the use, testing and problems of products in production. The ideal candidate should have a good working knowledge of testing of high‑speed digital and high performance analog circuits.

Requirements

• Experience should include writing test programs using mixed‑signal test systems. Proficiency in LabVIEW and experience with National Semiconductor Instruments test systems is a plus.
• Programming and debugging experience in C++.
• Experience with board level mixed‑signal hardware and PC board layout design is a must.
• Requires a BSEE degree and 8 or more years of hands‑on experience in mixed‑signal test development.
