We are hiring a Senior Mixed-signal IC Design Engineer to grow our AMS team. As a member of the mixed-signal design team in the R&D department, you will be a key part in the definition, design and development of the future products of KDPOF. Tasks include:

Specification of the analog and mixed-signal blocks that are embedded in the system (ADC, DAC, PLL, data interfaces, optoelectronics…).
Design (from schematic to full verification at extracted level) of the analog and mixed-signal blocks in nanometric CMOS processes. It means being involved in the full AMS design flow: schematic, layout and full verification.
Definition of layout guidelines for layout engineers and review of their work.
Collaboration with the test engineers for the testing of the fabricated ICs. Review and analysis of lab characterization data for validation and correlation improvement with simulation results.
Cooperation with the rest of the team to define the characterization tests for the circuits in which the analog and mixed-signal blocks are integrated.
Cooperation with the system-level engineers for the generation of models of analog and mixed-signal blocks for use in system-level evaluation.
Assist with the integration of the complete analog subsystem to be used in complex mixed-signal design with integrated digital logic. This will include mixed-signal verification with the digital processing.
Research on new architectures and efficient solutions for the future products of the company and generation of new patents.
Internal meeting presentation and documentation of developed work.

Requirements

Degree/Master/PhD in Electronic Engineering
At least 5 years of experience in similar tasks
Experience in delivering successful design in silicon: product definition, characterization, qualification and productization
Experience on designing full-custom analog IP blocks in sub-nanometric CMOS technology (65nm or below), as well as with analog and mixed-signal IC design tools, such us Cadence or Synopsys
Design (from schematic to full verification at extracted level) of the analog and mixed-signal blocks in nanometric CMOS processes
Good knowledge of full-custom analog layout techniques, including the ability to review the work of others
Excellent written and verbal English communication skills

Conditions

Salary according to experience
Work in our design offices of Madrid (Spain) or Caen (France)

To apply to join the KDPOF team, please send us your CV.
