Analog Circuit Designer – Team Lead

Analog Circuit Designer – Team Lead

Requirements

• Electrical or computer engineering or other applicable scientific degree at the MSc or Ph.D level.
• Experience leading designs in advanced CMOS and/or BiCMOS technology.
• A highly motivated self-starter, able to work independently, while being a great teammate.
• Ability to methodically address sophisticated technical problems.
• Excellent organization, written and oral (English) interpersonal skills.
• Proficiency above the intermediate level with use of applicable design tools from Cadence, Mentor and Synopsys for analog design (eg Virtuoso, Calibre, STAR-RC, MMSIM).
• A history of successful analog circuit deliveries at mm-wave frequencies.

Responsibilities

• Perform feasibility work with various circuit topologies to recommend the best solution to carry through implementation by weighing tradeoffs and discussing these with other members of the team to guide formation of a circuit requirement specification.
• Complete and detailed design of multi-phase clock-generation and distribution, requiring close collaboration with other members of the design team and analog layout team members as applicable who may assist with some aspects of the overall implementation through to full GDSII delivery to Ciena’s integration partner.
• Characterization in Ciena’s state-of-the art lab of the analog circuits from test-chips through to full product implementation working with members of our Analog Macro Integration team.
• Reporting on status updates on a regular basis, participation in team meetings and sharing of experience with the rest of the group.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with 2.5D or 3D E-M tools such as HFSS or EMX.
• Experience with team-leadership within an analog macro design group.
• Experience designing high performance clock generation and distribution circuits.
• Experience with mixed-signal design validation using state-of the art probing and test equipment.
