Base Pay Range: $115,000-150,000
ForwardEdge ASIC, a Lockheed Martin company, is seeking talented mid-level Analog Design Engineers with 3-12 years of experience to join their team in St. Paul, MN. As an Analog Design Engineer at ForwardEdge ASIC, you will play a crucial role in enhancing our domestic ASIC capabilities for commercial, defense, and security customers by delivering innovative microelectronics solutions.
Your work will involve designing analog integrated circuits, mixed-signal circuits, and high-speed designs. You will contribute to the development of analog mixed-signal circuit blocks, including PLLs, DLLs, phase interpolators, high-speed clock distribution circuits, high performance amplifiers and comparators, high-speed DACs and ADCs, and Filters.
Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop analog mixed-signal circuit blocks to support IP development and ASIC/ASSP designs
• Participate in system-level and block-level IC design activities, including architecture definition, circuit design, schematic capture, and circuit and sub-system simulation.
• Document analog design blocks and collaborate with Characterization and Product engineers to define, conduct tests, and analyze measurement data.
• Work with advanced CMOS technologies, including experience with FinFet technology.
• Apply low power and high-speed design techniques to circuit design.
• Utilize standard, commercial IC design CAD tools such as Spectre, Virtuoso, and Spice.
• Assist in the validation of circuit design through lab skills.
• Mentor and supervise junior engineers.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Circuit design experience in analog/mixed-signal CMOS circuits in deep sub-micron technologies (5 – 40 nm) for high-speed Memory interfaces and SerDes Interfaces.
• Experience with high-speed I/O cell designs, power delivery circuits, and strong fundamental knowledge in AMS design, Advanced CMOS, and FinFet technologies.
• Understanding of mismatch analysis, Monte-Carlo methodology/sims, transistor-level noise analysis, and device physics in deep sub-micron technologies.
• Proficiency with industry-standard tools such as Cadence ADE, Spectre, mixed-signal verification, EM/IR flows, MATLAB, and Calibre.
• Working knowledge of mixed-mode simulation, signal integrity, and ESD is desired.

Clearance: This position requires a US government security clearance, and US citizenship is required.
Work Schedule: Flexible 9/80 work schedules with every other Friday off.
Location: St. Paul, MN
Ability to Work Remotely: Local preference - Onsite Full-time, with potential hybrid opportunities. Potential remote opportunities depending on skillset.
