Senior Staff Engineer, RD Analog Design

The CSA division supplies sensors that bridge the gap between the world we live in and the digital world of machines. By converting physical signals - heartbeats, sounds, light waves - into data, we enable robots, cars and other devices to interact with people and improve our world. What drives CSA is a relentless desire to contribute to technology and have a meaningful impact on the world. This business thrives on solving complex problems and partnering with global leaders at the forefront of technological advancement. Our goal: to push the boundaries of sensor technology and empower innovators to make the world smarter, healthier and happier. Responsible for design leadership and development of ultra-high performance, low noise analog solutions associated with mixed signal ICs from initial concept, until production ramp, including design for: manufacturability, yield, test, and reliability. Performs and supervises detailed design, simulation, verification and validation of integrated circuits. Directs and supervises block-level and top-level layout activities to ensure optimum circuit performance. Expert level knowledge and experience designing for system/application level concerns, including: packaging, parasitic, power, die size, cost, etc. “Power User” level knowledge of SPICE/Spectre testbench creation and simulations, including: PVT, Monte Carlo, mixed signal, modelling, optimization, etc. Provides positive internal team leadership and communication, coordination of design requirements and trade-offs, and preparation for weekly meetings (internal and customer). Analog design subject matter expert level communication with customer (and/or marketing), including: presentation in design reviews, representing the analog design team on weekly conference calls, defining/tracking/working to ensure schedule adherence, interactive problem solving, and customer communication under pressure, etc. Highly creative problem solver, able to generate innovative, new next-generation IP and file patents Generation of detailed relevant documentation, including: architectural/concept reviews, design gate reviews, internal design documents, test requirements, etc. Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 8 years of experience or PhD with 5 years of experience, with an emphasis in analog/mixed signal Integrated Circuit Design. Experience with technical leadership in mixed signal IC Design, block level specifications, simulation, modelling, optimizing layout for performance, etc. “Expert level” transistor-level design knowledge and experience of standard analog building blocks, including Bandgap references, current references, OPAMP, LDO, charge pumps and such for ultra-low noise performance in CMOS processes. Design experience in ADC is a plus Excellent communication skills (both oral and written) are required, as customer-level technical interface and design/team leadership are necessary under high-pressure situations. Experience with relevant CAD tools (including Cadence Virtuoso, SPICE, etc.)
