Senior Technologist, ASIC Development Engineering (IO Design)

Job Description

Developing best-in-class architecture for Analog Mixed Signal IPs and high-speed parallel PHY interface solutions for next generation NAND flash memory controllers in advanced CMOS technology nodes.

Interact with cross-functional teams to define requirements / specs, conceive the optimal solution by evaluating architectures, drive implementation, closely work with layout designers in guiding and reviewing the layouts, ensure timely and high-quality deliverables, extend SOC integration support and review and provide support for post-silicon activities from IP characterization to yield improvement and RMA.

Provide good technical leadership in problem solving, planning and mentoring junior and senior engineers.

Propose innovative design solutions and design methodologies. Fostering innovation culture and developing efficient processes by adopting state-of-the-art technologies.
