Role responsibilities
Design circuit models with abstraction levels from mathematical description to back extracted circuit performance that allow trade off of simulation time versus accuracy
Delivery of circuit models that generate sub-block circuit specifications from architecture specification and system models
Verify post-layout sub-blocks deliver specified, modelled performance
Ability to communicate effectively with technical leads, designers and system modelling team, throughout the design process, to optimize block specifications and performance and to ensure system modelling is accurate
Document and present performance of modelled sub-circuits at various phase gates through the design cycle
Documentation of modelling methodology and correlation of the abstraction levels with each other and with analog circuit simulations
Innovate and deliver creative modelling solutions for analog circuits
Rigorous approach focused on delivering high quality results using Kandou’s design process flow.
