Job Description:

Microchip Technology Inc. is a leading provider of embedded control applications. Our product portfolio comprises general purpose and specialized 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microcontrollers, 32-bit microprocessors, field-programmable gate array (FPGA) products, a broad spectrum of high-performance linear, mixed-signal, power management, thermal management, radio frequency (RF), timing, safety, security, wired connectivity and wireless connectivity devices, as well as serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), Serial Flash memories, Parallel Flash memories, and serial Static Random Access Memory (SRAM). We also license Flash-IP solutions that are incorporated in a broad range of products.

The Timing and Communication Group (TCG) at Microchip is actively seeking an analog design engineer. The responsibility spans wide range of activities such as the design, simulation and validation of analog integrated circuits (ICs). The products are usually mixed signal SOC designs.

The Analog team develops the critical IP blocks used in the TCG timing products. These circuits include multi-GHz PLL circuits, high speed digital circuits, MEMS drivers and high speed performance IO pads. 

As an analog design engineer and as part of the Analog IP team the individual will:

• Work with analog design lead and architects to design specific analog IP blocks

• Simulate analog circuits across process corners and operating conditions

• Models design blocks to be included on top level mixed signal simulations

• Block level validation of process silicon devices and system level lab evaluation

Requirements/Qualifications:

• Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline

• 10 or more years of relevant experience in analog IC design

• Must have a passion for his/her work and excellent teamwork skills

• Experience in the design of high speed, low jitter PLLs and high-speed custom digital circuits

• Hands-on experience in designing Analog and Mixed Signal circuits such as high speed SERDES and clock and data recovery, ADC, DAC, Crystal Oscillator and Bandgap, etc

• Demonstrated expertise in Low Power, Low Noise CMOS circuits.

• Strong knowledge in Cadence IC design flow and tools

• Expertise in the system design of mixed signal circuits is desirable.

• Knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation

• Should be familiar with the issues with low noise circuits in mixed signal designs

• Experience in mixed signal design in geometries in CMOS 0.13um, 40nm, 28nm and smaller CMOS geometries is desired

• Some understanding of the principles of root cause analysis, design for manufacturability

• Familiarity with design for test of mixed signal devices is desired

• Experience working with multi-site team desirable

• Good communication and documentation skills
