Staff Electrical EngineerSeeking an experienced analog/mixed-signal design engineer for developing complex mixed-signal ICs for Timing and Infrastructure applications. The position requires a strong analog mixed-signal design background including a strong history of innovative product and IP definition and design. Depending on experience level, the individual will participate in product roadmaps, definition, technology selection, design, and verification. The individual will have a role in defining and implementing the overall system architecture, designing transistor-level analog circuit blocks, simulating sub-system performance, creating and using behavioral models of blocks and the entire IC, doing and/or supervising physical layout, verifying circuit and chip-level operation and performance, and assisting with tape-out related activities.
Responsibilities will also include detailed documentation, silicon evaluation and debugging, production test development support, customer support, and other activities as required for the achievement of high volume production.Responsibilities:Architects, designs and verifies circuits, logic, systems, algorithms, etc. to meet product requirementsDetermines design approaches and parametersDevelops innovative new designs for patenting or protecting as trade secretDemonstrates good judgment in solving a broad range of issues, based on an advanced understanding of industry practices and company policies and proceduresResponsible for custom layout, including overseeing the work of layout designersReports on design results through design reviews, in accordance with company quality requirements and resolves action items generated as a result of these reviewsAttends design reviews to provide input and learn from other designers' experiencesResearch design techniques through technical publications and seminarsSupports marketing in product definitionHaving a wide-ranging experience uses professional concepts and company objectives to resolve complex issues in creative and effective wayDetermines methods and procedures on new assignments and may coordinate the activities of other personnelRequired Experience and Skills:A technology-related master's degree or equivalent training and 8 or more years of analog/mixed-signal design experience developing mixed-signal ICsAn advanced degree may reduce the minimum experience required.Strong knowledge of engineering fundamentalsAdvanced knowledge of CMOS fabrication processesAdvanced knowledge of MOS transistors and analog/digital circuit designKnowledge of complex AD/DC analysis (poles, zeros, compensation)Advanced signal analysis knowledgeBasic understanding of CMOS and BCD parasitic junctions and the risks associated with themStrong parasitic analysis knowledge (capacitance, resistance, power grid)Advanced knowledge of circuit building blocks (e.g., OPAMP, gm-C filters, switch capacitors, ADC, DAC, state-machines, and bus interfaces)Advanced understanding of layout tradeoffs for performance and sizeAdvanced design skills in system modelingStrong knowledge of UNIX, Matlab, and circuit simulation toolsProficiency in layout verification, DRC, LVSThe typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is currently USD $114,400 - $220,200 per year. Starting base pay will depend on relevant experience and skills, training and education, business needs, market demands, the ultimate job duties and requirements, and work location. Skyworks has different base pay ranges for different work locations in the U.S.
