 * Experience helping buildnewmethodologies andsiliconplatformsfrom the ground up.

## Description

We are looking for a PrincipalMixed-Signal Design Engineer, Data Convertersto lead the architecture and development of wideband, high-performance data converters and associated analogfront-endsfor advanced mixed-signal SoCs. This is a hands-on technical leadership role with significant ownership-from architecture and technology tradeoffs through circuit design, integration, and silicon validation., * Architect and design high-speed, wideband ADCs and DACs targeting demanding RF and mixed-signal applications.

 * Lead converter architecture selection and trade studies, balancing bandwidth, sampling rate, resolution/ENOB, linearity, power, area, and implementation risk.
 * Design supporting wideband analogfront-ends, including ADC input networks, track-and-hold/sampling circuits, DAC output stages, references, biasing, clocking, and calibration circuitry.
 * Develop high-performance circuits in advancedFinFETCMOS technologies and address the unique analog design challenges associated with deeply scaled nodes.
 * Own designs from concept and behavioral modeling through transistor-level implementation, layout, verification, and silicon characterization.
 * Develop calibration and correction techniques forimpairmentsand work closely with DSP/systems engineers on mixed-signal algorithms.
 * Define converter specifications and interfaces in collaboration with systems, RF, digital, package, and verification teams.
 * Drive converter integration into complex mixed-signal SoCs, including power, clocking, signal integrity, and physical implementation considerations.
 * Helpestablishdata-converter design methodologies, IP, simulation infrastructure, and best practices from the ground up.
 * Provide technical leadership and mentorship to analog and mixed-signal engineers., A disability is a condition that substantially limits one or more of your "major life activities."
