Precision Senior Analog IC Design Engineer

Overview

My client is a leading technology company specialising in silicon photonics-based interconnect solutions. Their innovative semiconductor chips are designed for next-generation data centers, utilising in-house Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) and Electronic Integrated Circuit (EIC) design capabilities. They collaborate with large-volume CMOS foundries as manufacturing partners to deliver state-of-the-art products.

Responsibilities

• Design DC operational amplifiers, biasing circuits, digital gates, analog multiplexers, and high-speed analog circuits in CMOS (or BiCMOS) technologies
• Build chip-level hierarchies within a Cadence environment
• Develop auxiliary circuits to interface analog ICs with I2C or SPI digital control interfaces using IP blocks
• Apply advanced layout techniques to optimize current density and minimize parasitics, layout device matching
• Design IC pad frames for various technologies, including die bonding, flip-chip, micro-bumps, and micro-Cu-pillar, and create corresponding netlists
• Develop temperature-independent biasing blocks using bandgap references
• Define and adhere to design methodologies and environments to ensure high-quality outcomes
• Collaborate closely with the photonic design team to co-design electrical and optical components, meeting stringent system-level performance requirements across technology corners

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• 5+ years of industry experience in integrated circuit design in CMOS or BiCMOS in Bandgap, Current Bias, Current references, Operational Amplifiers, Voltage Regulators, Comparators, Control loops like Automatic Gain Control
• Extensive experience with EIC design tools, particularly the Cadence Virtuoso and proven experience in developing actual products
• In-depth knowledge of chip-level electronic design flows for Design for Manufacturability (DFM) with a strong commitment to product quality and reliability
• Proactive problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a team-oriented, dynamic environment

If you are passionate about innovation and eager to make a significant impact in the field of silicon photonics and integrated circuit design, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Ane @ IC Resoucres with your CV.
