Analog Design Engineer

Ottawa, Ontario Based – 3 Days On Site / 2 Days RemoteFull Time / PermanentSeeking 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 blocksSimulate analog circuits across process corners and operating conditionsModels design blocks to be included on top level mixed signal simulationsBlock level validation of process silicon devices and system level lab evaluationRequirements/Qualifications:
Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline10 or more years of relevant experience in analog IC designMust have a passion for his/her work and excellent teamwork skillsExperience in the design of high speed, low jitter PLLs and high-speed custom digital circuitsHands-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, etcDemonstrated expertise in Low Power, Low Noise CMOS circuits.Strong knowledge in Cadence IC design flow and toolsExpertise in the system design of mixed signal circuits is desirable.Knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulationShould be familiar with the issues with low noise circuits in mixed signal designsExperience in mixed signal design in geometries in CMOS 0.13um, 40nm, 28nm and smaller CMOS geometries is desiredSome understanding of the principles of root cause analysis, design for manufacturabilityFamiliarity with design for test of mixed signal devices is desiredExperience working with multi-site team desirableGood communication and documentation skills
