About the role

You should be a motivated team-player who is able to work with cross-functional and cross-geo teams to understand, articulate and solve problems.
Work with custom layout team to define plan (floorplan, routing, matching, metal grid etc) to meet circuit performance
Collateral generation like circuit Integration spec, BMOD, timing model, power model, ICCT, IBIS, alpha numbers.

Technical path-finding, innovation, micro-architecture and design of analog/mixed-signal circuits including regulators and bandgaps to meet architectural specifications in advanced process nodes.
Contribute to architectural trade-off studies and design methodology improvements.
Design, develop and deliver circuit building block schematic, perform pre layout and post layout design optimization to meet design specification across PVT, process variation sensitivity analysis, aging, EOS, RV checks for design reliability.
Own specifications and design verification plans covering functionality, performance and reliability meeting high volume productization requirement.
Collaborate with logic designer, logic verification designer, structural physical design engineers, integration engineers, signal integrity and power deliver engineer to define clear collateral handoff requirements to ensure efficient IP integration.
Perform post silicon data analysis and debug and make necessary design enhancement to meet design specification.
Conduct design reviews; actively contribute to design reviews
Work with external IP vendors as point of contact for analog designs
