Responsibilities
Design and simulate analog and RF integrated circuits, including critical blocks such as amplifiers, mixers, PLLs, ADCs, DACs, and bias/reference circuits, with a focus on signal integrity, linearity, and precision.
Optimize circuits for power, area, and performance trade-offs, ensuring designs meet system-level requirements across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations.
Collaborate closely with optics, simulation and PCB teams to define architecture and block-level specifications for successive prototypes and product iterations, ensuring tight alignment with overall performance and integration goals.
Work with layout engineers to guide floor-planning and physical design, minimizing parasitic effects and preserving analog precision in layout-sensitive blocks.
Support post-silicon validation and bring-up, defining test plans, analyzing lab measurements, and correlating results with simulation to refine future design iterations.
Language: English at a proficient level. French is a plus.
A sound mathematical understanding and deep physical intuition of analog electronics, as well as analog voltage-to-current and current-to-voltage conversion at low and high frequencies.
Experience in designing high-precision analog systems for signal processing or power electronics. Experience working with high-frequency analog signals is valued.
Extensive experience in IC design and post-layout design methodology using standard industry tools like Cadence Virtuoso.
Proficiency in designing and optimizing mixed-signal circuits, including DACs and ADCs at low (kHz-MHz) and high (>GHz) frequencies, and signal conditioning circuits, ensuring flawless integration between analog RF components and digital processors.
Strong understanding of signal integrity, crosstalk, and noise reduction techniques in mixed-signal environments, particularly in high-frequency RF systems interfacing with digital processors.
Advanced node experience required (<28nm).
