Staff Analog IC Design Engineer, Serial Transceiver

Responsibilities

The Staff Analog IC Design Engineer will work on the design of sophisticated Serial Transceiver ICs which cater to a wide range of industrial applications, factory automation, motor drives and wireless infrastructure etc. Ideal candidate should possess a mix of technical expertise in Analog IC Design, passion to build new products starting from specs and taking all the way to Production and strong communication skills. Experience of Serial transceiver design and understanding of Transmission line effects and R, L, C basics is a must. High voltage Tx and Rx design, good understanding of ESD and Latchup concepts, Silicon debug experience are strong advantages for this role.

Qualifications

The engineer will participate in all stages of product design, development and productization. Primary responsibilities include

• Development of Serial Transceiver ICs with emphasis on standards like RS-485, RS-232.
• Responsible for design and validation of blocks like Opamps, Comparators, Schmitt Trigger, Voltage references, Current references, Bandgap design, High voltage Tx and Rx, Charge Pump, V2I and top level integration of Blocks and verification of full chip. Actively involved during all stages of IC development including design closure
• Work with layout engineers on IC floorplan and integration of analog, ESD and digital.
• Conduct and participate in Block level, IC (Top) level design reviews, layout reviews and provide regular design updates through documentation and presentations.
• Understand and implement design and design validation methodologies which will meet company and industry standards for product reliability and yield.
• Own and drive post-silicon debugs and support system characterization.
• Assist test, operations, and application teams during productization.
• Experience in one or more of the following areas is highly desirableThorough knowledge of Analog design- OpAmps, Comparators, Bandgap References, Charge pump, and other analog building blocks.Knowledge of Rx and Tx designs for Transceivers, IOs, High voltage Design, Analog buffers, Capless LDOsUnderstanding of process technologies and device behavior which are important for high voltage operation and related reliability issues.Understanding of ESD and latchup.
• 4-8 years of experience in Analog IC design
