Senior Principal Analog Architect – Precision Analog

This position is in CMSD, which is part of Renesas’ Analog & Connectivity organization.  The CMSD R&D team develops and industrializes highly configurable mixed-signal products for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to consumer, communication, computing, data center, industrial, and automotive applications. CMSD team is the pioneer and dominant market leader of the highly successful GreenPAKTM family of products. This customer configurable product and platform enables customers to differentiate their products, reduces BOM cost and development cost and time. CMSD team is continuously expanding our product portfolio that includes high performance analog IP’s, DC-DC, and FPGA.

As a Senior Precision Analog Architect, you will be responsible for leading the development of high-accuracy IP for integration in CMSD’s broad portfolio of products. As our precision analog specialist, guiding and mentoring team members is essential and one of your most important responsibilities. This is a senior technical leadership position, and you will be working with design and program managers to drive NPI (New Product Introduction) execution as well as continuous efficiency and performance improvement.

Responsibilities:

• Architect and design high-performance AFE (analog frontends) and signal-chain ecosystems, which include IP such as PGA (programmable gain amplifiers), precision voltage references, and data converters.
• Develop high-accuracy IP with voltage accuracy on the order of 1uV.
• Architect and design SAR A/D converters with resolution of 16-bit or higher.
• Develop Delta Sigma A/D converters with resolution of 24-bit or higher.
• Design Nyquist D/A converters with resolution of 18-bit or higher.
• Architect and design ultra-low-offset chopper-stabilized amplifiers for both high-voltage (> 50V) and low-voltage (and low-power) applications.
• Guide and mentor CMSD’s global Design, Characterization, and Test Engineering team on high-voltage and high-accuracy design and test techniques.
• Drive product definition and specification to achieve optimal tradeoffs between product competitiveness and development cost.
• Collaborate with product definition and marketing on product roadmaps and long-term IP development plans.
• Represent CMSD R&D and contribute to key technical meetings and initiatives at BU A&C and company level.
• Actively participate in sharpening CMSD design methodology and way-of-working to ensure crisp and efficient execution.

• MSEE or PhD in EE + 15 years semiconductor design leadership experience
• Proven track record in designing high-accuracy products with resolution better than 1uV.
• Proven track record in designing high-performance AFE products with ENOB of 16-bit or above.
• Proven track record in designing high-resolution SAR (16-bit or above) and Delta-Sigma (24-bit or above) A/D converters.
• Proven track record in designing high-resolution Nyquist D/A converters (18-bit or above).
• Proven track record in designing ultra-low-offset chopper stabilized amplifiers.
• Highly knowledgeable in ESD, Latch-up, and IC reliability issues.
• Highly knowledgeable in state-of-the-art design methodologies and tools.
• Highly knowledgeable in state-of-the-art mixed-signal and BCD process technologies.
• System and application knowledge in CMSD target markets a plus.

The expected annual pay range for this position is $195,000 - $300,000. This position is also eligible for bonus opportunities. Please note that final offer amount will be dependent on geographic location, applicable experience, and skillset of the candidate.
