Data Converter System Engineer

Your tasks

• As part of this team, you will have an opportunity to architect and work on many different modules within our devices and to work with leaders in the design of world class data converters. These devices integrate large high frequency (> 30 GHz) analog blocks along with complex digital blocks to create our custom System on Chip (SoC) solutions. Your tasks will cover the entire spectrum of mixed signal development starting from conceptual work, through the design, layout, and characterization of the devices:
• Responsible to develop cutting edge SoCs for communication systems according to customer specifications, finding optimum tradeoffs between system performance, power dissipation and cost.
• Drive block specifications for design team
• Develop, run and maintain data converter system MATLAB and Verilog models for an SoC across various usage modes.
• Work with analog and digital implementation teams to ensure proper development of system designs.
• Ability to simulate entire signal path, in a mixed‒signal flow.
• Create and own chip level simulations that verify data converter operating modes are implemented correctly We work with other ASIC design groups based in Germany. You will work with a highly qualified team of ASIC engineers, located both locally and abroad.

Your qualifications

• MS degree with 5 years of experience or a PhD degree with 3 years of experience.
• Significant experience modeling data converters or radio systems in MATLAB
• Good knowledge of communication systems/standards and their application to different wireless and wire‒line applications.
• Deep understanding of design, simulation and measurements of high‒speed ICs using CMOS and CML circuits in at least 3 of these areas: Digital‒Analog Converters, Serializers and de‒serializers, Wideband Output Drivers, High Performance Phase Locked Loops, Low Noise clock designs, Operational Amplifiers and Variable Gain Amplifiers, and DSP Equalization and compensation techniques
• Self‒driven, ability to work independently while coordinating with IC designers
• You will need to be able to travel occasionally to European and U.S. locations.
• Candidates must be current US residents with valid work authorization.
• Work effectively in a group setting (share expertise, provide and receive feedback, communicate technical issues, work in a team environment to resolve technical issues) Additional desirable, but not required, qualifications include: Experience performing mixed signal circuit design across analog and digital domains, BiCMOS IC design experience, Experience with an Analog Design Flow (e.g. Cadence Virtuoso, Xcelium, AMS‒Designer, Verilog‒AMS, and Spectre), SERDES transmitter and receiver design (e.g. CDR, DFE, CTLE, jitter modelling)
