·       Designing and developing system architecture for ultra-low-power Analog applications. Translating system-level requirements to block-level specifications. Participating in system-level modeling and simulation design activities.

·       Perform advanced circuit simulations and ensure designs meet specifications for power, performance, and reliability.

·       Supervise and guide layout engineers to achieve optimal layout for performance, parasitic, and manufacturability.

·       Conduct post-layout simulations and validate circuit performance against specifications.

·       Lead and participate in design reviews, providing expert feedback to improve designs and processes.

·       Collaborate with test engineers to define test plans and provide support for silicon validation in the lab.

·       Mentor junior designers, sharing technical knowledge and best practices.

·       Drive innovation by exploring new design methodologies, process technologies, and tools.

·       Ensure documentation of all design activities, processes, and results for internal and external stakeholders.

Requirements

Must haves
