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
