The Analog/Mixed-Signal Engineer will design and validate high-speed analog circuits, perform lab testing, and support project tape-out verification.
Overview
Extropic is hiring an Analog/Mixed-Signal Engineer to help accelerate our hardware development. The ideal candidate would be someone with a deep understanding of Analog/Mixed signal design and needs to have a solid understanding of CMOS device characteristics, noise, mismatch, linearity and design trade-offs.
Required Experience
- Experience designing analog blocks (Comparator, op-amp, reference/bias generation, LDO regulators, filters, switch-cap, and data converters)
- Experience in design and layout of high-speed analog circuits (Frequency dividers, oscillators, and PLLs)
- In-depth knowledge of analog mixed-signal concepts (Noise, linearity, stability, low-power, and low-noise techniques)
- Deep understanding of reliability issues and layout effects, such as electro-migration (EM), and strategies to mitigate them
- Experience in lab-testing of mixed-signal circuits and experience using signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes
- Comprehensive simulation skills in Cadence (PEX, Monte-Carlo, and Corner analysis)
- Experience in supporting project tape-out verification (DRC, ERC, and LVS)
- Proficiency in pre-silicon validation and top-level mixed-signal design simulations
- Experience in designing with modern CMOS technology
Preferred Experience
- Strong programming skills (Python and C)
- Experience with I/O design (ESD and latch-up)
