Intel Hillsboro , OR 97123 **Job Description**
Power Delivery Circuits and Systems Research group in Intel Labs is looking for an experienced, mixed signal circuit designer to contribute to the prototyping and development of state-of-the-art technologies in the area of DC-DC Converters.
**The candidate will work under the guidance of a Research Scientist to:**
* Complete assigned circuit design tasks and run simulations/analysis to assess circuit performance and validate functionality.
* Explore circuit design techniques within stringent area and power efficiency constrains.
* Drive layout and perform post-layout simulations with extracted parasitic and do appropriate tuning of the circuits to meet the desired specs and contribute towards the tapeout of the technology prototype.
* Perform testing and characterization of the prototype silicon to successfully demonstrate the technology on silicon/system prototype.
* Work closely with engineers in business units within Intel to provide any necessary documentation/training to enable a successful product integration.
**Behavioral traits that we are looking for:**
* Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with continuous learning mindset
* Strong verbal/written communication skills
* Effective team player and collaborator
* Willingness to balance multiple tasks and ability to operate in a fast-paced and sometimes ambiguous project environment
**Qualifications**
You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Relevant experience can be obtained through school work, classes and project work, internships, military training, and/ or work experience.
**Minimum Qualification:**
The candidate must have an Bachelors degree with (4+ years industry experience) or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering with (2+ years of industry experience) in analog / digital mixed signal circuit design including:
2+ years of experience in below areas:
* Designing, testing and validating analog and/or mixed signal circuits with sub-micron CMOS technology.
* Design of mixed signal circuits such as comparators, level shifters, ADCs, DACs
* Solid understanding of deep sub-micron device physics, process technology and manufacturing.
* Knowledge of analog layout techniques, including floor-planning, matching, shielding and parasitic optimization.
* Strong background in VLSI and industry standard CAD tools for schematic capture, simulation, layout and physical verification, such as Cadence Spectre/Ultrasim/AMS Designer /Virtuoso, StarRC.
* Programing/Scripting using Verilog/VHDL/SystemVerilog, MATLAB
* Working with Mask Designers on layout implementation and reviews
**Preferred Qualifications:**
* Knowledge of power electronics (DC-DC converters) topologies (Buck, LDOs, SC etc), VR controllers (CCM, DCM etc) is highly desirable
* Experience in taking power delivery designs from circuit to layout to silicon prototype is highly desired.
* Expertise in Digital RTL design, and taking the blocks through Synthesis/APR steps is a plus.
