Analog Design Engineer

Ottawa, Ontario Based – 3 Days On Site / 2 Days Remote

Full Time / Permanent

Seeking an Analog Design Engineer. The responsibility spans wide range of activities such as the design, simulation and validation of analog integrated circuits (ICs). The products are usually mixed signal SOC designs.

The Analog team develops the critical IP blocks used in the TCG timing products. These circuits include multi-GHz PLL circuits, high speed digital circuits, MEMS drivers and high speed performance IO pads.

As an analog design engineer and as part of the Analog IP team the individual will:

Work with analog design lead and architects to design specific analog IP blocks

Simulate analog circuits across process corners and operating conditions

Models design blocks to be included on top level mixed signal simulations

Block level validation of process silicon devices and system level lab evaluation

Requirements/Qualifications:

Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline

10 or more years of relevant experience in analog IC design

Must have a passion for his/her work and excellent teamwork skills

Experience in the design of high speed, low jitter PLLs and high-speed custom digital circuits

Hands-on experience in designing Analog and Mixed Signal circuits such as high speed SERDES and clock and data recovery, ADC, DAC, Crystal Oscillator and Bandgap, etc

Demonstrated expertise in Low Power, Low Noise CMOS circuits.

Strong knowledge in Cadence IC design flow and tools

Expertise in the system design of mixed signal circuits is desirable.

Knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation

Should be familiar with the issues with low noise circuits in mixed signal designs

Experience in mixed signal design in geometries in CMOS 0.13um, 40nm, 28nm and smaller CMOS geometries is desired

Some understanding of the principles of root cause analysis, design for manufacturability

Familiarity with design for test of mixed signal devices is desired

Experience working with multi-site team desirable

Good communication and documentation skills
