Role Description
The Analog IC Designer / Digital IC Designer / RFIC Design Engineer designs integrated circuits that meet functional, performance, power, and area requirements. Depending on the assigned specialization, the role involves developing analog circuits, implementing digital logic and microarchitecture, or designing radio-frequency circuits for wireless communication and sensing applications.
The successful candidate will collaborate with systems, layout, verification, and test teams to translate specifications into robust circuit designs. This position also performs simulations, evaluates process and operating variations, supports silicon validation, and investigates issues throughout the development lifecycle.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, microelectronics, or a related field; an advanced degree is an advantage.
- Relevant experience in analog IC, digital IC, or RFIC design, depending on the assigned specialization.
- Strong understanding of semiconductor devices, circuit theory, and integrated circuit design principles.
- For analog positions, experience designing circuits such as amplifiers, data converters, voltage references, or power management blocks.
- For analog positions, knowledge of noise, stability, mismatch, and process, voltage, and temperature variations.
- For digital positions, proficiency in Verilog or SystemVerilog and experience with RTL design, simulation, synthesis, and timing analysis.
- For digital positions, understanding of clock-domain crossings, reset strategies, and power, performance, and area optimization.
- For RFIC positions, experience with circuits such as low-noise amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, phase-locked loops, or power amplifiers.
- For RFIC positions, knowledge of impedance matching, S-parameters, noise figure, linearity, and electromagnetic effects.
- Familiarity with relevant electronic design automation tools, layout considerations, and parasitic extraction.
- Ability to interpret simulation and measurement results and troubleshoot design issues.
- Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and clear technical communication.
- Ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines and meet development milestones.
