Design Lead

Key Responsibilities

1. Analog Circuit Design Support

• Assist in the design of basic analog and mixed-signal blocks such as:
  • Amplifiers (single-stage, differential pairs)
  • Bandgap references & biasing circuits
  • Comparators, oscillators
• Support schematic design using Cadence Virtuoso

2. Simulation & Analysis

• Perform circuit simulations:
• • DC, AC, transient, basic noise analysis
• Analyze key parameters:
• • Gain, bandwidth, phase margin, power consumption
• Assist in PVT corner and basic Monte Carlo analysis

3. Layout Interaction

• Work with layout engineers to understand:
• • Matching techniques
  • Parasitic effects and layout constraints
• Support LVS/DRC validation

4. Debug & Validation

• Debug simulation issues and support design iteration
• Assist in improving performance metrics:
• • Rise/fall time, settling time, stability

5. Documentation

• Maintain documentation:
• • Simulation results
  • Design notes and test cases
• Prepare reports for review by senior engineers

6. Learning & Development

• Gain exposure to:
• • Full analog design cycle
  • AMS integration and system-level understanding
• Participate in design reviews and team discussions
