Analog / Mixed-Signal Sensor IP Design Engineer.

Overview

Qualcomm's Sensor IP Analog Mixed Signal Design team is seeking Analog / Mixed Signal design engineers to join our growing team in Cork, Ireland. The successful candidate will work on analog and mixed signal integrated circuits including AFEs, ADCs, VCOs, bandgaps, and a range of other custom IP for Qualcomm Mobile, Auto, IoT & Compute SoC products. The primary focus of the work is low power and low volume mixed signal design with emphasis on advanced nanometer FinFET technology nodes.

The successful candidate will design key circuit blocks and work closely with layout engineers to ensure the layout is fully optimized and complies with best analog layout practices. They will be directly involved in delivering next generation Sensor IP designs for Qualcomm SoCs and will be part of a large analog mixed signal design team involved in architecture analysis and IP delivery in leading edge FinFET process technology nodes at 3nm and beyond.

The role requires industry experience in transistor level circuit implementations or highly relevant academic experience in a Master's or PhD program focused on full custom analog circuit design using nanometer CMOS technologies. In addition to Analog and Mixed Signal circuit design expertise, good understanding of device physics, analog circuit custom layout, power distribution networks (PDN), mixed signal design flow, SoC top level integration and IC Design Tools are desired.

Responsibilities

• Architecture, design, and development of analog / mixed signal hard macros for the Sensor IP Design team
• Perform custom circuit design in the latest FinFET CMOS process technologies and beyond to support the delivery of Sensor IP
• Participate in internal customer requirements discussions.
• Create design specifications.
• Create behavioural models in Verilog.
• Set up, run and analyse circuit simulations.
• Perform quality assurance procedures on developed hard macros.
• Deliver hard macros and support customer integration and testing.
• Perform silicon characterization analysis and prepare silicon verification reports.

Skills and Experience

• Master's or Ph.D. degree in Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 4 years of transistor level analog mixed signal design experience.
• Experience in SPICE simulators and schematic capture tools.
• Experience in designing op amps, bandgaps, differential amplifiers, VCO, AFE, and/or ADCs.
• Scripting to automate circuit design and verification work.
• Full custom analog layout techniques and ability to take a design and do all layout extraction verification and sign off.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to contribute strongly within a high performance team.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 2+ years ASIC design, verification, or related work experience.

Benefits

• Salary, stock and performance related bonus.
• Maternity/Paternity Leave.
• Employee stock purchase scheme.
• Matching pension scheme.
