Staff Analog design Engineer

Description

Seeking an experienced Analog design engineer developing complex mixed-signal ICs for EVs, Industrial Control, Industrial Power, Isolation, and other Infrastructure applications. This role will be part of the design group that is at the forefront of the EV revolution, working to develop technologies that will revolutionize vehicles and enable new levels of power efficiency.  Candidate will take a supporting or leading role depending on experience relative to other team members, but regardless of experience level, candidate will be involved in all aspects of the design process from system conceptualization to mass production. For example, candidate will participate in Analog system architecture, block- and system-level RTL design/coding, algorithm and firmware development, Analog circuit back-end (e.g. synthesis, timing closure, P&R preparation, scan insertion), Analog design verification, and full-chip mixed-signal verification.  Responsibilities will also include detailed documentation, test vector development, lab test and evaluation, customer support, and other activities as required to achieve high-volume production.
