Responsibilities

The primary responsibility of this position is to lead Analog designs and delivery of cutting edge, high-performance, high-speed, low-power Analog IP designs for interconnectivity solutions and fundamental Analog circuit blocks for various Microsoft products in various process nodes including deep FinFet, following industry best practices. You will technically deliver complex blocks that will produce schematics, verify in simulation, complete timing/jitter/power budgets and work with mask layout teams to deliver a final IP GDS.

· You will coordinate tasks with junior members of the team, develop plans for Analog IP execution, follow processes/methodologies to deliver IP blocks. You are a very hands-on contributor.

· You are proficient in Analog and Mixed signal IC circuit designs, design validation simulations (pre and post-layout), follow checklists/presentation templates, supervise floor-planning and monitor layout progress. You will coordinate bench validation of IP in Silicon, and IP characterization on bench and tester. You will use established flows/methodologies/processes for execution.

· You will work along with other members of the team to deliver IP’s, including project planning, schedule tracking, report generation.

· Interface with RTL, Verification and P&R team

Qualifications

· You should have a BSEE or equivalent, MSEE/PhD preferred.

· 7+ years of experience in analog circuit design, through full cycle post BSEE or equivalent (higher degree holders with lower post academic experience may be considered).

· Experience with high-speed analog front-end serdes or D2D design (preferably PCIe, UCIe, D-PHY, USB), data-converters, PLLs, Regulators and all associated blocks in analog designs from architecture till silicon validation support.

· Experience in Design partitioning, power/jitter budgeting and timing analysis. Knowledge of lower power design techniques, calibration, parasitic extraction, EM/IR/ESD/Aging & Signal Integrity Design.

· Experience with the use of CAD-tools (Cadence, Mentor, Synopsys) for circuit schematic entry, simulations, post layout extractions, Mixed-mode simulations

· Delivered Analog IP’s successfully in mass production in FinFET processes.

· Experience in mentoring individual engineers.

· Working with multiple stakeholders (arch/design/layout/silicon validation/project managers) to execute full design cycle till silicon.

· Excellent communication skills and self-motivated that can collaborate with larger teams within Microsoft.

· Energetic and self-motivated and innovative problem solver

Preferred

· Scripting language such as Python, Perl

· Matlab modelling

· Exposure to RTL behavioral modelling of analog blocks will be a plus

· Masters or PhD degree from premier institutes
