Client:

Our client a leading a Multinational Semiconductor requires Senior Analog Design Engineer for role based in Cork City, Ireland.


Role:

You will:

• Design and verify CMOS analog blocks for custom ASICs to meet performance, area, power and timescale constraints. Blocks include amplifiers, oscillators, LDOs, comparators and reference/biasing circuits.
• Take technical leadership for sub-systems and drive them from specification to production ramp.
• Collaborate with project leads to achieve system and design strategy for custom ASICs.
• Guide layout team to ensure quality of layout of own designs.
• Produce high quality documentation for designed circuits.
• Work closely with DFT engineers to ensure alignment to DFT strategy and implementation.
• Drive silicon debugging and design characterisation.
• Support and participate in lab evaluation for own designs.
• Work with test and product engineers to support test development and ramp to production.
