Job Description
The Analog/Mixed-Signal IP design team is looking for a Circuit Design Engineer to carry out the design and development for the next generation transceiver IOs, high-speed memory (LPDDR5, DDR5, gDDR6, HBM2/HBM3, etc.), and chip-to-chip Gbps proprietary PHY IP solutions. As an Analog/Mixed-Signal Designer, your responsibilities include but not limited to the following:
1. Design and analyze mixed-signal circuit building blocks for PLL, DLL, and clock distribution to be used in the high-speed interfaces
2. Provide schematic layout guidance to mask designer and perform post-layout simulation
3. Pre-layout and post-layout design optimization to meet specifications across PVT, sensitivity, aging, electromigration simulation tests
4. Collaborate with layout engineers, RTL circuit designers to define IP sign-off requirements to ensure efficient IP integration
5. Define test plans and support for post-silicon IP bring-up, debug, validation, and characterization
6. Interface with SOC teams, system HW/SW teams, and global manufacturing teams to specify component level requirements
