Analog Mixed Signal Design Engineer

Analog Mixed Signal Design Engineer

The Role

This is an opportunity to work in cutting edge team at an exciting start up working on ultra-efficient chips. 

Responsibilities

• You will become part of a highly experienced team of circuit designers and where you will work on data converters and other analog/mixed-signal circuits.
• You will be involved in all aspects of the data-converter chipsets and their characterization including post-silicon validation.
• This requires and gives you the opportunity to understand the overall data converter systems that are implemented for wireless communication systems.
• You will gain detailed knowledge on a broad range of different IPs to define testplans, define test programs, support test development of IP characterization, and support chip bring-up activities.

Requirements

• Solid understanding of analog/mixed-signal circuits such as ADCs, DACs, PLLs, DLLs, filters, active mixers, driver stages, biasing circuits, LDO regulators, OpAmps, comparators and switched-cap circuits.
• Extensive hands-on experience with EDA design tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, preferably with a history of successful Tapeouts.
• Extensive experience in the laboratory measurement, test development, debugging, measurement automation, analog IP characterization and ADC/DAC lab characterization.
• Familiar with laboratory equipment such as spectrum analyzers, real-time scope, arbitrary waveform generators, signal generator, etc.
• Good programming skills, Matlab, and Python knowledge.
• Strong written and verbal communication skill.
• Proficiency in English language is required.
• Ph.D/Master Degree in Electric Engineering with relevant experience

Benefits

• An international team with an open and friendly culture, flat hierarchies and fast decision making.
• The opportunity to take on responsibility and be involved with the big picture.
• Room for your own ideas and support for your personal development.
• A competitive compensation package.
• We are an award-winning semiconductor start-up which started as a spin-off from the Chair of High- Frequency Electronics at RWTH Aachen.
• Our main product is a break-through and patented widebandwidth “transceiver“ microchip for application in e.g. ultrafast 5G-A and 6G wireless infrastructure equipment and devices.
