• Capture schematic designs in accordance with the standards developed and specified by the design team.

Key Competencies:

• A degree in Electronics Engineering.

• 5+ years of industrial analog design experience with a track record in full ASIC using mixed BJT and CMOS technologies over several production ASICs.

• Extensive experience in developing high-performance custom analogue integrated circuits that have gone into production.

• Expert knowledge of Cadence tool workflow for schematic capture, simulation and layout.

• In-depth understanding and practice in bandgaps, LDOs, and Opamps.

• Proven technical leadership.

Ideally you will have:

• Theory and practice in Bi-CMOS technologies.

• Skilled in optimising circuits for low-noise and high-precision performance.

• Experience of designing (an simulating) low-phase noise circuits.
