Job Title: Analog and Mixed Signal Design Engineer
We are seeking a highly skilled engineer to join our Electronic Design Automation (EDA) group as an Analog and Mixed Signal (AMS) design expert. This role will be based in Limerick, Ireland.
About the Role:
We develop and support tools and technologies to create an industry-leading product development ecosystem for ADI's design and verification community. As part of this team, you will be involved in developing and supporting AMS design tools, flows, and methodologies related to Integrated Circuit (IC) simulation and the design and verification environment.
Main Responsibilities:
* Develop efficient simulation environment migration tools and flows between EDA ecosystems.
* Ensure seamless integration of new methodologies, tools, and flows with both internal/external CAD/EDA tools for ease of use.
* Develop software and automated procedures for Complex SoC Design and verification environment using Cadence SKILL, Python, C++, etc.
* Develop and apply EDA software engineering methods, theories, and applied research techniques for investigation and solving technical problems arising from IC Design and Verification.
* Perform IC analysis and simulation of ADI's vast portfolio of products such as Data Converters, Amplifiers, PLLs, RF transceivers, sensors, etc.
* Publish technical reports and documentation to be used by ADI circuit designers.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
* Master's degree with background in Electrical or Electronics Engineering and/or Computer Science Engineering.
* Good knowledge of Analog and Mixed-signal circuit design and functionality, VLSI process technologies, and Semiconductor Devices and Modeling.
* Strong programming or scripting abilities using Python, C++, Perl, etc., or any other programming language.
* Willingness and ability to learn and adapt to various CAD flows and technologies.
* Exposure to CAD tools for IC simulation such as LTspice or Spectre, AMS Designer, Xcelium or HSPICE, PrimeSim or Eldo or Keysights ADS, etc.
* Familiarity with HDL/HVL such as Verilog-A, SystemVerilog, Verilog-AMS, etc. for behavioral modeling or verification of AMS blocks.
* Good understanding of IC design environment (Virtuoso Library Manager, simrc, cdsinit, Schematic Editor, Layout Editor, etc).
* Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and collaborative.
* Very good communication abilities.
Preferred Qualifications:
* Prior experience with supporting any AMS circuit simulation CAD tools and advanced design verification procedures such as PVT, Monte-Carlo, Trimming, etc.
* Prior experience in developing any automation tools/utilities, design flows, or algorithms related to AMS circuit simulation, design, or verification.
