ARF Design is hiring Analog Mixed Signal Designers to work on design of building blocks used in high-speed IPs
(e.g. DDR/LPDDR/HBM/UCIe/MIPI/PCIe)
Responsibilities
- Derive circuit block level specifications from top level specifications.
- Doing optimized transistor-level design of analog and custom digital blocks
- Spice simulations to cover detailed specifications.
- Guiding layout design for best performance, matching, power delivery
- Performance characterization of designs in PVT + mismatch corners including reliability (aging, EM, IR) checks
- Generating/delivering behavioral (verilog), timing (lib), physical (LEF) models of circuits
- Conducting design reviews at different phases/maturity of the design
Qualifications
- BE/M-Tech in Electrical & Electronics
- Good fundamentals in RLC circuits, CMOS devices and circuits and with digital design building blocks (e.g. counters, FSMs)
- Prior experience with custom design environments (e.g. Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsis Custom Design Family) and spice simulators
- Collaborative and positive attitude
Experience
- 0 to 4 years: Design Team Members
- 4 to 7 years: Technical Lead/Mentor
- 7+ years: Team Lead/Manager
Example Designs
- Wireline channel Transmitters (Tx), Receivers (Rx), Equalization circuits (FFE, DFE, CTLE)
- Serializer, deserializer
- Bandgap reference, low dropout (LDO) regulators
- PLL, DLL, Phase Interpolator
- Comparators, DACs, ADCs
Growth And Learning Opportunities
- Close collaboration with experienced mentors
- Opportunity to work on advanced process technologies (e.g. 12nm, 7nm, 5nm, 3nm, 2nm)
- Fast paced growth for high performance individuals
