Job Title Director of Electrical Engineer

Job Description
We are looking for a hands-on director level electrical design engineer with both good analog mixed-signal CMOS design background and advanced packaging integration experience. In this role, you will assist with the design of:

1: mixed-signal integrated circuits for innovative semiconductor fabrication tools.

2: advanced packaging chiplet integration design.

If you have a strong ability to learn, good analysis & problem-solving skills, are enthusiastic about questioning current norms and pushing the boundaries of technology, this is the ideal position for you. Our tight-knit group offers a unique opportunity to grow your design skills while you collaborate in the development of different types of analog mixed-signal circuits such as bandgap voltage reference, low-noise amplifiers, data converters, active filters, etc. Other specific responsibilities include:

· Design system level architecture and spec for IC.

· Translate IC fabrication process capabilities into real world designs.

· Design, simulate, and verify analog and digital CMOS circuits.

· Design, simulate, and verify SI/PI integration of chiplet integration.

· Review and supervise custom layout of analog circuits at the block & chip level.

· Design experiments, test boards, and test programs for silicon characterization.

· Assist with evaluation and troubleshooting of bench tests during silicon characterization.

· Schedule tasks and goals to complete designs on time that meet all specifications.

· Negotiate specifications with internal customers and other stakeholders.

Education & Skills
M.S. in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent) with at least 5 years of industry experience in design of mixed-signal ASICs.
