Principal Analog Design Engineer

Permanent employee, Full-time · Netherlands

Summary
Innatera's VLSI design team is responsible for the design and realization of energy-efficient analog and mixed-signal components at the heart of our brain-inspired processors. The team is looking to hire an experienced principal analog design engineer to architect and design these cutting edge custom components. The role involves defining and derisking new concepts and architectures, as well as hands-on design and development activities pre- and post-silicon.
We will trust you with:
  • Leading the specification, design, optimization, layout and testing of custom analog components and sub-systems inside Innatera's analog compute fabric, as well as interface components such as A/D & D/A converters and bandgaps, among others

  • Working together with neuromorphic and other circuit design experts to develop novel circuit concepts, as well as techniques and methods to optimize circuit behaviour towards the challenging requirements of Innatera’s neuromorphic silicon

  • Collaborating with a team of hardware architects, digital design engineers, and application engineers

  • Participating in the creation of new IP

Your experience includes:
  • PhD/MSc with several years of relevant industrial experience in designing low-power analog circuits 

  • At least 5+ years of experience in actual ASIC tapeouts of blocks like ADC, PLL, TIA etc 

  • Multiple successful tape-outs in deep-submicron processes (preferably 65nm and below) and is proficient with the design flow 

  • Profound knowledge of low-power techniques, circuit- and transistor-level design, layout, and verification

  • Experience with lab equipment and proficient in measurement techniques for silicon validation/characterization

  • Knowledge of neuromorphic concepts is a plus, but not a pre-requisite

Preferred skills for this position

  • Cadence Virtuoso, MMSIM/Spectre

  • System-level modelling and simulation of analog and mixed-signal circuits (Verilog-AMS/-A)

  • MATLAB

What you need to succeed:
  • Comfortable in tailoring communication to stakeholders of varying seniority levels
  • Ability to consider the broader context as well as short and long-term implications
  • Passion for working in teams and collaborating effectively with people in different functions
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and demonstrated passion for technology & analog design
We offer you:
  • A dynamic working environment around a fearless engineering culture,

  • Ambitious teams with the freedom to innovate,

  • A Flexible working environment (work from home policy, flexible working hours, advantageous holidays scheme ..),

  • An inclusive company culture that embraces communication, diversity, and support around holistic and personal development.
