• Conduct top-down architectural analysis of AMS systems and perform transistor-level feasibility studies for various AMS circuits.
• Design novel architectures and define microarchitectures for next-generation AMS IP to achieve optimal performance, power, and area for diverse product segments.
• Enhance system performance by leveraging digitally assisted analog techniques and optimizing the partitioning of analog and digital circuits.
• Evaluate trade-offs, explore innovative approaches, and provide proof-of-concept design alternatives for AMS systems.
• Collaborate with IP design and verification teams to define, develop, and validate robust AMS IPs for SoC integration.
• Support SoC architects, design engineers, and verification engineers in selecting, configuring, and validating SoCs that leverage AMS IPs.
• Perform modeling, simulation, and optimization for power, area, and performance metrics, analyzing test results to identify improvement opportunities.
• Define future AMS IP technology targets by influencing cross-functional roadmaps and reviewing emerging technology trends.

The ideal candidate should show the following behavioral traits:

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the willing to mentor and technically guide team members.

Qualifications:

Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position.
