Summary of Role:

We are seeking an experienced Sr. Staff Engineer, Analog Design to work on the design and development of high-performance analog and mixed signal IP. The ideal candidate will play a role in architecture definition, own and drive circuit design, and silicon validation for next generation products. This role requires deep expertise in analog circuit design, strong technical leadership and problem-solving skills, and ability to work cross functionally across global teams including layout, verification, SoC integration and system engineering.

Key Responsibilities:

* Drive design and development of complex analog and mixed signal IP blocks

* Participate and contribute to architecture of analog and mixed-signal IP such as

* Design critical analog blocks such across signal chain and/or power supply blocks as: amplifiers (op-amps, instrumentation amps), comparators, data converters ADC (delta-sigma, SAR, pipeline)/DAC, bandgap references, regulators (DC-DC, LDO) and monitoring circuits like POR, power good, power glitch etc.

* Strong demonstrated design implementation ability to perform transistor-level design using advanced CMOS technology nodes. Perform transistor level schematic circuit design, simulation, and verification using industry standard EDA tools. Strong understanding of analog design fundamentals and technology aspects. Understanding and knowledge of design implementation for robustness covering process variation, mismatch, noise and reliability issues for advanced process nodes

* Perform corner, Monte Carlo functional and reliability analysis to ensure robust performance across silicon PVT comprehending variations

* Drive design reviews, verification strategy, and silicon validation working with different teams across locations. Own and drive deliverables for downstream integration in So Cs

* Cross-collaboration across disciplines working closely with layout engineers for parasitic aware design, verification teams for AMS simulations and product/system teams on architecture and design trade off analysis

* Validation and Characterization skills on post-silicon. Ability to define validation and characterization requirements. Understanding spec compliance requirement needs and drive validation teams. Define architecture to meet Design for Test (DFT) requirements and document bring-up, initialization procedures. Drive design for test cost reductions where applicable

* Technical leadership in providing technical guidance and mentorship to other junior engineers working in the team. Establish best practices in analog design methodology and verification. Influence roadmap planning for reusable analog IP platforms

* Stay current with the latest trends in semiconductor design, drive design innovations, providing technical leadership and mentoring within the Hardware engineering team. Participate in internal and external technical forums and strive for continuous improvement

Other Responsibilities:

Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs

Required Qualifications:

* Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

* Minimum 10+ years of experience in analog mixed signal design in end-end design and delivery of complex analog IP blocks. Proven expertise from concept to silicon is required.

* Deep understanding of CMOS analog design fundamentals, noise analysis, stability and compensation, device mismatch and variation. Experience and proven record of meeting power, performance and area requirements. Strong understanding of low-power design techniques required
