Title: Mixed Signal ICs System Architect Duration: Permanent, Full-time Location: Hillsboro, OR (Hybrid: onsite 3 days per week) Salary: $101,000 to $190,000 per year Candidates must have valid U.S. work authorization at the time of hire. Visa support available via H1 transfer only
Our client, a leader in the test-and-measurement and wireless communications industries, is seeking passionate individuals with a vision for the future, a desire to impact the world, and a drive to turn innovative ideas into reality. They are building development teams to design the next generation of mixed-signal ICs for advanced communication systems. The team is currently seeking a skilled and motivated Mixed Signal ICs System Architect to lead the architecture and design of complex mixed-signal systems, ensuring optimal performance and integration across analog and digital domains .
Position Description: In this role, significant experience modeling data converters or radio systems in MATLAB will be applied to design, simulate, and measure high-speed ICs using CMOS and CML circuits. A deep understanding of communication systems and standards, and their application to various wireless and wire-line applications, is required. Expertise should cover at least three of the following areas: Digital-Analog Converters, Serializers and De-serializers, Wideband Output Drivers, High-Performance Phase Locked Loops, Low Noise Clock Designs, Operational Amplifiers, Variable Gain Amplifiers, and DSP Equalization and Compensation Techniques.
Independent work is expected while coordinating closely with IC designers to drive the development of high-performance systems. The ability to work effectively in a team, share expertise, and resolve technical issues will be essential. Occasional travel to European and U.S. locations may be required. Candidates must be U.S. residents with valid work authorization.
Additionally, experience in mixed-signal circuit design, BiCMOS IC design, and Analog Design Flow (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Xcelium, AMS-Designer, Verilog-AMS, Spectre) will be highly valuable, along with familiarity with SERDES transmitter and receiver design (e.g., CDR, DFE, CTLE, jitter modeling).
Position Responsibilities: - As part of this team, you will have an opportunity to architect and work on many different modules within our devices and to work with leaders in the design of world class data converters. These devices integrate large high frequency (> 30 GHz) analog blocks along with complex digital blocks to create our custom System on Chip (SoC) solutions. Your tasks will cover the entire spectrum of mixed signal development starting from conceptual work, through the design, layout, and characterization of the devices:
- Responsible to develop cutting edge SoCs for communication systems according to customer specifications, finding optimum tradeoffs between system performance, power dissipation and cost.
- Drive block specifications for design team
- Develop, run and maintain data converter system MATLAB and Verilog models for an SoC across various usage modes.
- Work with analog and digital implementation teams to ensure proper development of system designs.
- Create and own chip level simulations that verify data converter operating modes are implemented correctly We work with other ASIC design groups based in Germany. You will work with a highly qualified team of ASIC engineers, located both locally and abroad.
Position Qualifications: - M.S. or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, or other relevant engineering degree.
- A minimum of 5 years of relevant work experience with a M.S. or 3 years of experience with a PhD.
- Significant experience modeling data converters or radio systems in MATLAB
- Good knowledge of communication systems/standards and their application to different wireless and wire-line applications.
- Ability to simulate entire signal path, in a mixed-signal flow.
- Deep understanding of design, simulation and measurements of high-speed ICs using CMOS and CML circuits in at least 3 of these areas: Digital-Analog Converters, Serializers and de-serializers, Wideband Output Drivers, High Performance Phase Locked Loops, Low Noise clock designs, Operational Amplifiers and Variable Gain Amplifiers, and DSP Equalization and compensation techniques
- Self-driven, ability to work independently while coordinating with IC designers
- Available to travel occasionally to European and U.S. locations.
- Candidates must be current US residents with valid work authorization.
- Work effectively in a group setting (share expertise, provide and receive feedback, communicate technical issues, work in a team environment to resolve technical issues) Additional desirable, but not required, qualifications include: Experience performing mixed signal circuit design across analog and digital domains, BiCMOS IC design experience, Experience with an Analog Design Flow (e.g. Cadence Virtuoso, Xcelium, AMS-Designer, Verilog-AMS, and Spectre), SERDES transmitter and receiver design (e.g. CDR, DFE, CTLE, jitter modelling)
Our client offers the following benefits for this position: medical, dental, & vision insurance, short-term and long-term disability, life and AD&D insurance, 401(k) retirement plan, paid holidays and vacation and much more.
