Senior Analog Mixed Signal IC Designer

A dynamic Semiconductor start up in the wireless communications market that develops cutting edge ADC's for modern day market leading products is looking for an experienced and technology driven Analog Mixed Signal IC Designer to join their small design team.

Candidates from within the EU will be considered with priority but international applicants will be considered too!

This role is based in the beautiful town of Aachen in the West of Germany and is office based.

A personal meeting will be part of your interview process and you will receive an attractive salary package as well as the opportunity to contribute to challenging projects and drive new developments.

You will become part of a highly experienced team of circuit designers where you will work on data converters and other analogue/mixed-signal circuits as IP deliveries. You will be involved in all aspects of the data- converter chipsets and their characterisation including post-silicon validation. This requires and gives you the opportunity to understand the overall data converter systems that are implemented for wireless communication systems. You will gain detailed knowledge on a broad range of different IPs to define test- plans, define test programs, support test development of IP characterisation, and support chip bring-up activities.

Your qualifications:

• Solid understanding of analog mixed-signal circuits such as ADCs, DACs, PLLs, DLLs filters, active mixers, driver stages, biasing circuits, LDO regulators, OpAmps, comparators, and switched-capacitor circuits
• Hands-on experience with EDA design tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, preferably with a history of successful Tape-outs
• Experience with lab measurements and instruments, test development, debugging, measurement automation, analog IP characterisation, and ADC/DAC characterisation
• Familiar with lab equipment such as spectrum analysers, real-time oscilloscopes, arbitrary waveform generators, signal generators, etc.
• Good programming skills, Matlab and Python knowledge

Required education & experience:

• Ph.D./Master-Degree in Electrical Engineering or comparable studies
• 5+ years of industry experience in development and tape out of analog mixed-signal circuits such as ADCs, DACs, PLLs, DLLs filters, active mixers, driver stages, biasing circuits, LDO regulators, OpAmps, comparators, and switched-capacitor circuits
