Principal Analog IC Designer

The Lead Analog IC Designer is responsible for designing and developing analog/mixed-signal IC circuit blocks from initial concept/specification through final verification of conformance to customer specifications. Please note, must be a Canadian Citizen or permanent resident.

The Lead Analog IC Designer will be involved in the design and characterization of analog circuits, including but not limited to the following tasks:

• Implement and simulate SerDes, AFE, and IO circuits
• Document the circuit implementation and simulation results
• Present circuit performances in internal design review meetings
• Characterize circuit performance and post-process lab data

Position Requirements:

• Minimum Electrical engineering baccalaureate degree
• Master’s degree in analog microelectronics and 8 years of experience in CMOS SerDes or high-speed I/O IC design and development or equivalent
• Canadian Citizen or permanent resident
• Excellent problem-solving skills, analog aptitude, good communication skills, and ability to work cooperatively in a team environment
• Must have a thorough understanding of jitter and signal equalization techniques
• Proficient design experience in some of the following SerDes circuit blocks: Driver; Receiver; Serializer; Deserializer; Phase Interpolator; Low jitter PLL; High-Speed Clock Distribution; Bias and Bandgap; and Voltage Regulators
• Proficiency in using CAD tools for circuit simulation, layout, and physical verification; familiarity with Cadence design and simulation tools is a plus
• Lab test experience is a plus
• Familiarity with scripting languages is a plus
