Analog / Mixed Signal Design Engineer

Faraday Semi seeks a talented IC Design Engineer who will contribute to the definition and silicon validation of IC products in a team responsible for highly integrated power-management ICs such as DC-DC converters and other types of analog/mixed-signal ICs. This job is located in Irvine, CA.

• Responsible for timely release of meticulously analyzed and simulated IC designs or sub sections of designs. These designs should lead to cost effective, high quality, bug free products that fully meet end system requirements
• Design and verification of performance differentiated Digital and Analog circuits/systems, support validation of the design on silicon
• Apply your in-depth understanding of power process technologies, both existing and those under development, to design innovative power management products.
• Transistor level design of mixed-signal circuits for new and derivative power management products
• Participate in product definition working with marketing, applications, and customers.
• Assess system level behaviors, testability, debug, characterization, and production and yield targets through product development
• Responsible for IC system partitioning and signal chain analysis, architectural trade-off analysis
• Actively contribute to top level architecture, owning of block level topology selection, transistor level implementation and large/small signal analysis
• Worst case identification, top level simulation, Monte Carlo analysis, and simulation data analysis
• Post layout parasitic extraction and simulation, verification of all IC level performance metrics
