Senior Mixed-signal IC Design Engineer

Are you passionate about designing cutting-edge analog and mixed-signal circuits ? Do you enjoy transforming complex ideas into efficient and reliable silicon ?

If so, this position is for you !

KD is a semiconductor company that provides innovative high-speed optical communication solutions for demanding environments. With more than 50 employees, we are expanding our activity in integrated circuit design and developing a unique semiconductor manufacturing facility in Spain.

As part of this growth, we are looking for a Senior Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development of next-generation optical communication products.

The responsibilities, profile, competencies, conditions, and other details of the position are listed below.

Tasks and responsibilities :

• Specification of the analog and mixed signal blocks that are embedded in the system (ADC, DAC, PLL, data interfaces, optoelectronics…).
• Design (from schematic to full verification at extracted level) of the analog and mixed-signal blocks in sub-nanometric CMOS processes. It means been involved in the full AMS design flow : system-level design, schematic, layout and full verification.
• Definition of layout guidelines for layout engineers and review of their work.
• Collaboration with the test engineers for the test definition of the fabricated ICs.
• Review and analysis of lab characterization data, for validation and correlation with simulation results.
• Cooperation with the rest of the team to define the characterization tests for the circuits in which the analog and mixed-signal blocks are integrated.
• Cooperation with the system-level engineers for the generation of models of analog and mixed-signal blocks for their use at system-level evaluation.
• Assist on the integration of the complete analog subsystem to be used in complex mixed-signal design within integrated digital logic. This will include mixed-signal verification with the digital processing.
• Research on new architectures and efficient solutions for the future products of the company and generation of new patents.
• Internal meeting presentation and documentation of the developed work.
