  • High Speed Serial Links utilizing serializers, deserializers, and data convertors.
  • Voltage Regulators
  • High Performance Output Drivers
  • High Performance Phase Locked Loops
  • Efficient clock Transmission/propagation
  • Opamps and Programmable Gain Amplifiers
  • Equalization techniques

Preferred Requirements:

  • Experience with FinFET technology
  • Highfrequency layout experience a plus: Passive component design: inductors, transformers, transmissionlines, etc.
  • Floorplanning (power/ground, digital/analog signal routing, etc.)
  • Custom transistor layout

Design for manufacturability:

  • Characterization over PVT (montecarlo analysis)
  • Electromigration analysis (using Totem, or equivalent)
  • Power and IR drop analysis

Laboratory Validation:

  • Solid ESD laboratory practices and methodology
  • Construction of test setup to test specific circuitry

Software Experience:

  • Experience in the use of high frequency test equipment (BERT, jitter analyzers, VNA/PNA, etc.)
  • Cadence (virtuoso)
  • Spectre/APS/SpectreX
  • Layout validation tools (Virtuoso or Calibre)
  • Postlayout Extraction (Virtuoso or Calibre)
  • EMX
  • Mixed signal simulations in AMS
  • Matlab
Possess a track record of innovation. Publications are a plus.
