Key Responsibilities:
* Responsible for design leadership and development of ultra-high performance, low noise analog solutions associated with mixed signal ICs from initial concept, until production ramp, including design for: manufacturability, yield, test, and reliability.
* Performs and supervises detailed design, simulation, verification and validation of integrated circuits.
* Directs and supervises block-level and top-level layout activities to ensure optimum circuit performance.
* Expert level knowledge and experience designing for system/application level concerns, including: packaging, parasitics, power, die size, cost, etc.
* "Power User" level knowledge of SPICE/Spectre testbench creation and simulations, including: PVT, Monte Carlo, mixed signal, modelling, optimization, etc.
* Provides positive internal team leadership and communication, coordination of design requirements and tradeoffs, and preparation for weekly meetings (internal and customer).
* Analog design subject matter expert level communication with customer (and/or marketing), including: presentation in design reviews, representing the analog design team on weekly conference calls, defining/tracking/working to ensure schedule adherence, interactive problem solving, and customer communication under pressure, etc.
* Highly creative problem solver, able to generate innovative, new next-generation IP and file patents
* Generation of detailed relevant documentation, including: architectural/concept reviews, design gate reviews, internal design documents, test requirements, etc.
* Calm professional demeanor and excellent listening skills
* Ability to mentor
