Job Description

We are looking for a strong Analog and Mixed-Mode ASIC designer to join our design team, where you will work on designing full custom chips for present and future implantable medical devices. What we look for is a talented designer with a master’s degree in electrical engineering, or similar, and with 10+ years of experience in very low power chip design. Alternatively, a PhD and 5+ years of experience.

Requirements:

Solid understanding of solid-state device physics
Expertise in ASIC level analog very low-power design of circuitry such as low-noise amplifiers, filters, current/voltage reference generators, oscillators, HDO and LDO voltage-regulators, DACs, ADCs. Experience working with higher-voltage (up to 20 Volt) devices is a plus.
Experience of working with an analog or mixed-mode ASIC design project from conception, via specification, design, simulation, layout, characterization, verification & validation, to documentation.
Experience in defining and driving system architecture, product, and functional specification requirements.
Experience in critical review of design/layout, prototyping, chip bring-up/debugging/root-cause analysis, and documentation of design and results
Design tool expertise in schematic capture, analog/mixed-mode simulators, and constraint-aware design, using Cadence Virtuoso, Mentor Graphics, or similar.
Experience of working in a lab environment, using equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMMs, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers.

We would also value experience from one or more of the following:

Working in the medical device industry, or similar regulated industry
Physical analog IC full custom layout, device generators, DRC/LVS, and parasitic extraction.
Complex custom mixed-mode ASIC back-end design and tape-outs
Semiconductor process and fabrication knowledge
Digital design, including knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL, and SystemC
Advanced packaging, such as BGA or WLCSP, experience
Linux, MATLAB, and scripting languages for design automation
Firmware and software development and methodology
Component level design and PCB layout, for prototype builds
Reliability analysis
