IC Designer Mixed-Signal ASICs (f/m/d)
Broadcom
- Wien
- Unbefristet
- Vollzeit
- Work in a joint team of top analog and digital designers to develop new integrated mixed-signal ASICs and their functional blocks.
- Our projects target high performance OEICs, communication and sensor front ends for industrial, medical, automotive and aerospace industries.
- Develop analog and digital blocks, arrange them to functional groups, and combine them into a mixed-signal hierarchy and design.
- Take responsibility not only for the complete schematic and layout of the ASIC, but also for the entire product lifecycle and project management. This starts with detailed technical customer communication, followed by ASIC specification work and extends to chip characterization, validation and test development.
- Our team’s typical tasks also include the specification and implementation of dedicated IC blocks and digital or analog interfaces for effective testing at the wafer or module level (design for test).
- Subtasks to the core ASIC development could also include establishing new simulation tools or processes to accelerate the design and simulation of complex mixed-signal ICs and to increase the ASIC reliability.
- Expertise in all steps of a complete mixed-signal ASIC design cycle, including but not limited to:
- Definition of architecture and specification of ASICs
- Schematic development including simulation and modeling
- Layout design including verification (DRC, LVS)
- Integration of analog and digital blocks into mixed-signal designs
- Parasitic extraction and performance verification
- Management of the full ASIC design cycle including specification, definition, fabrication, characterization, qualification and testing
- In-depth knowledge of modern analog integrated circuit design and the techniques and tools used for analog and mixed-signal design is required
- Knowledge of digital design and layout (front-end and back-end) is desired
- Knowledge in advanced simulations techniques (e.g. modeling) is required
- Knowledge in Design for Testability (DFT) is desired
- An independent, precise working style and the willingness to communicate and collaborate closely with the ASIC design team, the higher-level product teams, as well as customers and suppliers are mandatory
- Willingness to take over responsibility for complex ASIC designs and the necessary communication with all stakeholders during the IC lifecycle
- Ability to integrate into teams across functions and locations
- Wide interest in interdisciplinary work interfacing to sensors, electronics, optics, fiber technology, communication and medical systems.
- English communication skills, both verbal and written are mandatory. Willingness to learn German and communicate in German.
- An ideal profile would also include:
- Experience in applying measurement equipment up to 10GHz
- Experience in measurement setups, PCB design and testing
- In-depth expertise in the semiconductor physics of integrated optical detectors like SiPMs, APDs and PIN photodiodes
