About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Architect and design high-speed, wideband ADCs and DACs for demanding RF and mixed-signal applications
Lead converter architecture selection and trade studies balancing bandwidth, sampling rate, resolution/ENOB, linearity, power, area, and implementation risk
Design wideband analog front-ends, including ADC input networks, track-and-hold/sampling circuits, DAC output stages, references, biasing, clocking, and calibration circuitry
Develop high-performance circuits in advanced FinFET CMOS technologies
Own designs from concept and behavioral modeling through transistor-level implementation, layout, verification, and silicon characterization
Develop calibration and correction techniques and collaborate with DSP/systems engineers on mixed-signal algorithms
Define converter specifications and interfaces with systems, RF, digital, package, and verification teams
Drive converter integration into complex mixed-signal SoCs, including power, clocking, signal integrity, and physical implementation considerations
Establish data-converter design methodologies, IP, simulation infrastructure, and best practices
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to analog and mixed-signal engineers

Requirements
