Responsibilities- Schematic design and simulation of circuits for high speed and precision Analog ATE circuits
- Layout, preplacement and post layout simulation of circuits
- Monte Carlo and corner analysis
- Mixed signal simulation at chip level
- Contribute to the development of innovative circuit architectures to optimize power, performance and density
- Power efficient and high precision design
- Support IC characterization and test development to qualify for ATE specific parameters and use conditions
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering
- 3+ years of professional analog IC design experience
- Experience designing precision analog circuits and contributing to at least one successful IC tapeout
- Strong understanding of analog CMOS circuit design, control theory, and feedback systems
- Experience with feedback loop design, stability analysis, and compensation techniques
- Understanding of the IC development lifecycle, from design and verification through characterization, qualification, and manufacturing
- Experience with analog/mixed-signal EDA tools such as Cadence or Mentor Graphics, including LVS, DRC, and ERC
- Experience developing behavioral models for chip-level simulation and validation
- Programming or modeling experience with Verilog, Verilog-A, C/C++, or Python
- Experience designing precision analog circuits, including ADCs/DACs, amplifiers, voltage references, regulators, or power management circuits
- Experience with high-voltage (100V+) or mixed-voltage designs with multiple power domains
- Familiarity with BiCMOS process technologies
- Knowledge of production test, characterization, or ATE environments
- Familiarity with signal processing and system-level modeling
The anticipated annual base salary range for this position is $80,000.00 to $125,000.00. Actual compensation will be determined based on factors such as experience, skills, qualifications, education, location, and business needs.
In addition to base salary, employees may be eligible for incentive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package. This salary range represents the Company's good-faith estimate of the compensation it reasonably expects to pay for this position at the time of posting.
