Analog/Mixed-Signal IC design Director

Analog/Mixed-Signal IC design Director

Job function SCALINX is seeking a highly influential Analog/Mixed-Signal IC design Director with strong technical and managerial skills. The candidate will have a track record of driving multiple product deliveries and operational excellence in a fast paced, dynamic environment.
She/he will manage and grow a team of ~25 AMS architects/design/layout engineers to develop analog/mixed-signal functional blocks to be integrated in complex SoCs, including high-speed A/D and D/A converters, low-jitter PLL and others support functions.

Profile

• A proven track record in the development of several complex IC products in volume production
• Solid experience in the management of an Analog/Mixed-Signal design team
• “First time right” mindset with strong methodical approach

Work description 

• Manage a team of ~25 people including architects and AMS design/layout engineers in the field of deep sub-micron technology SoCs
• Lead all aspects of design from concept to production, including architecture, specifications, transistor-level design, modelling, verification, layout, post-silicon validation support, productization support, etc.
• Lead cross-functionally to ensure program cohesion with teams such as marketing, systems design, digital front-end/back-end teams, validation, productization, quality, applications, packaging, etc.
• Ensure quality and reliability standards are met for volume production
• Develop methodology and processes for “first time right” products
• Participate in communication with high-profile customers
• Actively participate in the technology roadmap definition
• Report development progress to executive management

Qualification and Experience 

• Proven industrial experience in :
  • Architecture/design & validation of high-speed Nyquist-Rate data converters IP blocks (time-interleaved pipeline/SAR ADC architecture & current-steering DAC architectures)
  • Architecture/design of calibration circuits enhancing data converters performance
  • Integration of high-speed data converters IP blocks in complex mostly digital SoC (with strong knowledge of mixed-signals verification strategies/tools, signal integrity/power integrity & crosstalk issues)
• Strong understanding of clocking circuit concepts and design trade-off to implement high-performance, high-speed data converters
• Expert in AMS design/layout methodology
• Experience in supervising mixed-signals designers and able to dive into technical details (down to transistor level)
• Design experience in advanced CMOS process
• Remote working acceptable with regular on-site visits
• 15+ years of experience in IC design and technical leadership
