At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innova tors who want to make an impact on the world of technology.
This role is for an existing vacancy.
Job DescriptionThe Principal Analog IC Designer is responsible for the design and development of analog/mixed signal IC circuit blocks from initial concept/specification through final verification of conformance to customer specifications. The Principal Analog IC Designer contributes to the design of long-reach Ser Des.
- Candidate’s background should include a minimum of 5 years of experience in the development of CMOS Ser Des or high-speed I/O IC
- Must have a thorough understanding of jitter and signal equalization techniques
- Proficient design experience in most of the following Ser Des circuit blocks:
Driver;
Receiver;
Serializer;
Deserializer;
Phase Interpolator;
Low jitter PLL;
High Speed Clock Distribution; ADC and DAC;
Bias and Bandgap; and Voltage Regulators - Excellent problem-solving skills, good communication skills, and ability to work cooperatively in a team environ ment
- Working knowledge of a set of common Ser Des standards and their electrical requirements is a plus
- Position requires proficiency in using CAD tools for circuit simulation, and post-layout verification. Proficiency with layout entry a plus
- Cadence tool experience, lab test experience, and design experience at ≥16
Gbps and in ≤16nm technologies are a plus - MS or PhD in EE
