Associate Analog Design Engineer
Semtech- Full Time
- Junior (1 to 2 years)
Candidates should possess a Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, with 5+ years of active experience in the design and testing of mixed-signal integrated circuits utilizing both bipolar and FET technologies. Familiarity with semiconductor IC technologies, circuit design techniques, semiconductor device physics, signal processing, control theory, and communications theory is required, along with proficiency in low power and low noise design techniques. Strong mathematical and analytical skills are preferred, and U.S. citizenship is mandatory along with the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
The Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer will be responsible for designing and testing analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits, including data converters, signal generation, and signal processing circuits, for diverse applications. This role involves translating concepts into circuit implementations, conducting simulation and modeling, performing circuit measurements, and engaging with customers to validate circuit concepts in a laboratory environment. The engineer will also contribute to architecture development and utilize IC design CAD environments like Cadence and behavioral level simulation tools such as Matlab/Simulink, while demonstrating an understanding of digital signal processing and sampled data systems.
