Analog IC Design Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Analog IC Design Engineer

Description

You will specify analog portions of an IC, validate architectures with behavioral modeling, and perform transistor-level feasibility studies for ADC/DAC blocks. You will craft and document design blocks for formal design reviews, drive mask design for layout implementation, and run top-level simulations to validate integration. You will also define production/bench-level test plans, perform lab measurements, and use yield/lab test results to drive bug fixes, including design for ESD compliance.
