What You Will Do

• Architect, design, verify, and debug ADCs, DACs, reference circuits, sampling networks, clocking circuits, calibration functions, and supporting analog blocks.
• Own complex circuit blocks or complete data converter IP from architecture and specification through layout, silicon validation, and IP release.
• Lead small technical teams of analog, mixed-signal, digital, and layout engineers, coordinating activities and reviewing results.
• Translate system and product requirements into IP specifications, performance budgets, interfaces, verification plans, and integration requirements.
• Develop scalable, configurable, and reusable converter architectures optimized for performance, power, area, noise, linearity, bandwidth, reliability, and testability.
• Collaborate with system architects, SoC, digital, layout, verification, and test teams during integration, qualification, and silicon bring-up.

Requirements

• Master’s or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or Integrated Circuit Design.
• At least 12 years of related industry experience; 15+ years is preferred.
• Extensive hands-on experience designing high-performance analog and mixed-signal ICs, especially ADCs and/or DACs.
• Strong knowledge of converter architectures, calibration, signal-chain budgeting, and power-performance-area optimization, including SAR, pipeline, sigma-delta, time-interleaved, hybrid ADCs, and advanced DAC architectures.
• Experience with full-custom analog design and verification tools, including Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, ADE Explorer/Assembler, AMS, MATLAB, Python, and SKILL.
