ET_TN01
Title: Contract Hardware Engineer Mid. (Analog Mix Signal)
Location: San Jose CA (Day-1 Onsite)
Duration: 12 Months
Experience: 8+ Years
Note:Seeking an Analog Mixed signal Design have experience on PLLs, ADCs/DAC and FinFET (e.g., 16nm, 7nm…) nodes.

What candidate will Be Doing:

• Circuit Architecture & Design: Architect and design high-performance analog/mixed-signal building blocks (e.g., PLLs, ADCs/DACs, LDOs, Bandgaps, SerDes/PHY, Op-Amps).
• What we are looking for:
• Design Experience: 8–12+ years of hands-on experience in analog IC design.
• Circuit Architecture & Design: Architect and design high-performance analog/mixed-signal building blocks (e.g., PLLs, ADCs/DACs, LDOs, Bandgaps, SerDes/PHY, Op-Amps).
• EDA exposure: Custom Design/Schematic: Cadence Virtuoso (ADE/Maestro).  Simulation: Spectre, HSPICE, or CustomSim.
• Physical Verification: Mentor Calibre (DRC/LVS/PEX) or Synopsys IC Validator. Reliability/Sign-off: Experience with Voltus, RedHawk, or similar power/IR integrity tools
• Multi-Node Design:Translate and optimize designs across different process geometries, including transition strategies from Planar (e.g., 28nm) to FinFET (e.g., 16nm, 7nm…) nodes.
• Simulation & Verification:Perform comprehensive pre-layout and post-layout simulations, including Monte Carlo, corner analysis, noise analysis, and reliability modeling (EM/IR/Aging/BTI/HCI).
• Methodology: Drive best practices in analog design methodology, including the adoption of automated design tools and script-based verification (Python/SKILL/Tcl).

• Bachelor’s and/or Masters
