Analog Circuit Designer / Mixed-Signal Circuit Designer

Location:

Košice and Bratislava/ Slovakia and Germany

Responsibilities:

• Implementation of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit modules used in wireless semiconductors or power products based on existing system specification

• Definition of concept, Understanding of customer system requirements

• Circuit topology knowledge, Circuit design, and SPICE simulation of e.g. operation amplifiers (folded cascode Amp, fully differential Amp with common-mode feedback, Amp’s frequency compensation, multi-stage Amps), precision bandgap voltage or current references, current biasing of analog circuits, PLL clock synthesizer devices, high, mixers or LNA RF amplifiers

• Low power/low voltage analog design techniques, Noise Optimization of analog circuits

• Analog/Digital-Signal circuit simulation (SPICE) on a transistor, block as well as system top-level using Cadence design environment or Tanner/Mentor Design flow

• Understanding of data converter architectures and working principles would be a benefit:Nyquist Switched-Capacitor (SC) ADC conversion, and oversampling Sigma-Delta ADC (A/D converters) with noise shaping, current-steering DAC cells (D/A converters)

• Behavioural modeling of designed blocks (VerilogA, VHDL-AMS) or signal processing in MATLAB

• Guidance and supervision of the layout mask engineer (understanding of matching properties and parasitic R/L/C elements)

• Development of test concept and support of test program development

• Lab characterization and debugging of modules and the IC product

Qualifications (professionals or graduates):

• University: Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering or Semiconductor Technology

• Main focus on analog circuit design, communications, microelectronics, or semiconductor physics

• Knowledge of nano-meter CMOS/FinFET technologies, semiconductor devices (MOS & bipolar transistor) or high-frequency RF electronics

• Hands-on experience with Analog/Mixed-Signal IC design flow from System specification to Chip TapeOut, circuit SPICE simulation, and lab analysis/measurements

• CAD skills: Cadence, Mentor Graphics/Tanner or Synopsys design environment: schematic entry, SPICE-based circuit simulators, physical layout design and DRC/ERC/LVS layout verification in Assura, Calibre, Galaxy, post-layout simulation and debugging

• Unix/Linux skills required

• Experience with internet-based home office work (TeamViewer or WebEx meetings)
