Analog IC Design Engineer

Analog IC Design Engineer 
[Remote Position]
Blue Cheetah Analog Design Inc. is a growing technology start-up headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. Our mission is to generate state-of-the-art “in package” die-to-die semiconductor IP solutions for the rapidly growing chiplet ecosystem. We accomplish this by providing high performance chiplet interface semiconductor IP to our global customers, allowing them to reshape their product roadmaps to a more agile and cost effective chiplet based approach. Join our team to help usher in the chiplet era of semiconductor-based products.

We provide a professional benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401K plan with company match as well as generous holiday & vacation leave. Join a team where your impact to the collective success will be clear and the big company politics do not exist.

Job Description:

● Use your Analog/Mixed Signal Design skills to develop differentiated die-to-die chiplet IP solutions

● Blue Cheetah uses a "generator-based" design approach which requires you to have basic/fundamental software skills coupled with solid IC design experience. Our team will help the right person ramp up on the design flow

● Work closely with expert circuit architects to develop generators (Generators are parameterized design procedures that produce schematics and correct layouts optimized to meet a set of input specifications and allow us to encapsulate the rote and focus on the tough stuff) which enable more rapidly produced signoff-quality design instances.
● Coordinate with the cross functional team (analog, digital, verification layout, software, etc.) to push the bounds on design efficiency of our analog/mixed-signal solutions
● Grow your knowledge base by working in leading edge technologies and interacting with peers within our company and other partner companies driving the state-of-the-art for next gen products
General Requirements:
● Track record of designing robust analog PLL's with a solid foundation in analog/mixed signal circuit CMOS blocks

● Work with and train other design engineers enabling you to broaden expertise in additional areas
● Experienced and efficient with industry standard EDA tools
● Minimum of basic software skills coupled with an interest to advance (programming in general purpose PL (Python, C++, etc.)
● Team player with the ability to analyze and present data in a clear and meaningful manner
● Self-motivated, energetic attitude to create leading-edge production quality designs and innovate design methodologies

MUST HAVE Requirements:

● BSEE with 10 years’ relevant industry experience Or
MSEE with 8 years’ relevant industry experience Or
PhD EE with 3 years’ relevant industry experience
● PLL CMOS design experience in FinFet technologies
● Solid understanding of the associated constraints and impacts of physical layout
● Circuit/SOC tape out experience leading to production
● Experience in working with version control systems (especially git)
Plus Skills:
● High speed datacomm design experience
● Advanced software programming skill (OOP, Python, C++, etc.)
● Python libraries like NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, and Pydantic
● Git experience
● Silicon bring-up and testing expertise
Equal Opportunity:
Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to, and will not be discriminated against based on race, sex, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or protected veteran status.
Compensation:
In addition to Blue Cheetah’s generous benefit package and equity, the target base pay range for this role is between $145,000 and $225,000. Your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
