Description

We are seeking a senior engineer to join our mixed-signal design team building next-generation NVLINK. This role offers the opportunity to have a real impact in a dynamic, technology-focused company.

The successful candidate will develop and implement high-speed interfaces and analog circuits, with hands-on experience taking innovative integrated circuit designs from concept through silicon characterization.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing and implementing high-speed interfaces and analog circuits
  • Defining circuit requirements and completing design from schematic, layout, and verification to characterization
  • Conducting schematic design of deep-submicron CMOS technologies using Spectre, Hspice or similar tools
  • Taking ownership of the architecture, transistor design, and verification using industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso
  • Optimizing circuits to meet system performance specifications
  • Working closely with layout engineers to provide detailed floorplans and guidance for matching and high-speed routings
  • Providing support for post-silicon bring-up and debugging

To be considered, you will need:

  • A Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with a strong analog design background (or equivalent experience)
  • At least 5 years of analog design experience in industry
  • Experience with CMOS analog/mixed-signal circuit design in deep sub-micron processes, especially FINFET
  • Proficiency with design and verification tools such as Cadence's IC design environment and analog circuit simulation tools like Spectre, HSpice, and Finesim
  • Experience in crafting test bench environments for component and top-level circuit verification
  • Strong debugging and analytical skills
  • Ability to work effectively in a team environment

In terms of compensation, your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The expected base salary ranges for this position are: $168,000 - $264,500 for Level 4, and $196,000 - $310,500 for Level 5. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
