Job Description:
- Develops and drives analog and mixed signal IP architectures, signal processing algorithms, and calibration algorithms for SoC independent analog mixed signal (AMS) IPs.
- Performs top-down architectural analysis of AMS systems and conducts transistor-level feasibility study for various AMS circuits.
- Drives analog and mixed signal functionality, connectivity, and configuration. Enhances system performance using digitally-assisted analog techniques and optimum partitioning of analog and digital circuits.
- Evaluates feasibility trade-offs, explores, and defines new approaches and novel architectures for analog and mixed signal IP.
- Invents, conceptualizes, and specifies microarchitecture and architectural features for next-generation to deliver optimized analog and mixed signal IP for multiple segments from high performance computing to extreme low-power products.
- Develops modeling scenarios and modeling for new architectures/features for analog and mixed signal IPs.
- Performs modeling simulations, estimation, and optimization for power and area and conducts analysis of test results using advanced statistics and data predictions for benchmarking and determining areas for improvement.
- Provides experimental/proof-of-concept changes for proposing design alternatives meeting performance, power, area, and timing constraints. Reviews, challenges, and influences cross-functional roadmaps and defines technology targets for future analog and mixed signal IPs.
- Collaborates with IP design engineers, back-end design engineers and IP verification engineers to design, implement, verify and validate SoC independent IPs.
- Supports SoC architects, SoC design engineers, and SoC verification engineers in selecting, configuring, integrating, and validating SoCs that utilize analog and mixed signal IPs.
- MS in Electrical engineering with 12 years’ experience or BS in Electrical engineering with a 15 years’ experience
- Strong fundamentals and knowledge of mixed signal circuit architecture
- Deep understanding of analog design concerns and ability to drive to an optimal solution between analog and digital design
- Hands on design experience in high- speed serial and/or parallel I/O designs (TX and RX), CDR, DAC/ADC, and PLL/DLL
- Experience in circuit design and development, including RTL design, verification, and integration
- Experience in working with front end design tools
- Familiarity with pre-silicon and post-silicon validation
- Solid verbal and written comm skills
- Excellent debug and problem-solving skills
