Analog IC Design Engineer and Technical Leader

My client is one of the leading suppliers for the French and European defense markets and a key player in the communications industry and the 5G wireless communication transformation. They aim to become a key European supplier of high-speed data converters with wider bandwidth, lowest power consumption and higher integration level.

Its Data Conversion ICs based on their proprietary technology address these needs.

As part of their growth plans, they are seeking a dynamic and experienced analog designer who will contribute to the chip/block level architecture definition and implementation. In this role, the candidate will technically drive analog work-packages to deliver a state-of-the-art Integrated Circuit (IC) in deep submicron CMOS technology.

Work description:

* Lead and support analog design work-packages from transistor schematic to GDSII
* Participate, in close collaboration with the other project technical leaders, to the definition of the IC architecture and verification methodology.
* Participate to discussion with customer on product architecture and specification definition.
* Drive the architecture definition of the analog part(s) under his/her responsibilities.
* Drive, in close collaboration with the analog design and layout team, the specifications of the IC analog sub-blocks to get the best area/power/performance trade-off
* Work in close collaboration with the layout team to define the floorplan strategy to meet the stringent performance (e.g. speed, matching…) requirements
* Contribute to the design and verification methodology at chip level and sub-blocks level
* Define the test strategy of the analog part(s) under his/her responsibilities and drive its implementation
* Participate to the evaluation of the fabricated IC in our measurement lab
* Work in team to successfully design a state-of-the art IC
* Animate design reviews
* Write documentation in accordance with company Quality Assurance policy
* Qualification and Experience

You have a MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent and

* Several years of hands-on experience in chip-level and circuit-level architecture definition, transistor level design and verification
* You have a solid background in analog electronic. Signal processing knowledge is a plus.
* You have a very good vision of the entire analog/mixed-signal IC design flow from transistor schematic to GDSII
* You have a strong experience in mixed-signal IC project and technical leader role
* You have an experience in the design of high-speed, low noise and interference robust analog and mixed-signal circuit
* You have solid knowledge of analog design and simulation tools (Cadence Specter)
* You are creative and proactive
* You demonstrate good analytical and problem-solving skills
* A previous experience in design and verification of analog functions for Mixed-Signal ICs such as A/D Converters, D/A * Converters, and/or RF transceivers is a plus
* A strong experience with Cadence design flow is necessary
* You are a team player with a critical attitude and sense of initiative
* You communicate fluently in English (oral and written)
