Analog Design Engineer - Sr

Responsibilities & Deliverables

• Design, implement and verify analog / mixed-signal IC designs for various motion sensor products.
• Evaluate system-level trade-offs for next-generation sensor interfaces and identify IC architectures in collaboration with the MEMS design team to meet performance requirements.
• Interface with digital design engineers to define and optimize sensor architectures and digital signal processing circuits.
• Guide layout engineers on physical design. Review layouts and provide feedback for optimal layout design.
• Tape-out designs on-schedule adhering to required specifications.
• Evaluate and validate designs in the lab and identify any deviations from requirements and implement corrective actions.
• Perform other duties and tasks (e.g.: RMA debug) that may be assigned from time to time.

• Minimum MSEE +8 Years or PhD EE +5 Years of industry experience in analog or mixed-signal CMOS circuit design.
• Thorough understanding of analog and mixed signal systems and micro-architecture trade-offs. Demonstrated ability to develop micro-architectures and high level Matlab system models.
• Proven track record of designing low-power, low-noise, precision switched-capacitor CMOS analog amplifier (OPAMP), or analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for high volume manufacturing.
