We are looking for individuals who thrive on making an impact and want the excitement of being on a team that wins.

Job Description

Teledyne LeCroy is a leading manufacturer of advanced oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, and other test instruments that verify performance, validate compliance, and debug complex electronic systems quickly and thoroughly. It is a challenging, dynamic and fast-paced environment filled with engineers and scientists who share a passion to be the best.

The custom ICs that the Senior IC design engineer will work on often include a mix of the following characteristics:

• Precise DC accuracy
• Wideband operation from DC up to as high as 100GHz
• Signal conditioning (amplification and filtering)
• Optimization of noise and distortion
• Analog signal distribution (splitter, mux, driver, receiver)
• Clocking (frequency multipliers, phase shifters, clock distribution, re-timers)
• High speed sampling (track and hold / sample and hold / interleaving)
• Mixed-signal design
• Temperature stability
• Power consumption constraints
• ESD protection
• Design for manufacturability and reliability

The Senior IC Design Engineer will primarily use Cadence tools (Virtuoso, AMS, SpectreRF, Explorer, Assembler, Quantus, EMX, Physical Verification System) to complete the design tasks. Skill and Python scripting are used in collaboration with these tools. In some designs, additional tools such as Ansys HFSS are used as well.

The Senior IC Design Engineer will collaborate closely with other members of the IC design team. Often, multiple designers are working together on one chip. Whether or not designers are working together on the same project, shared technical exploration and learning are valued and expected of all members of the team.

Since our custom ICs are used in the test and measurement products we develop, the Senior IC Design Engineer will also collaborate with the design and manufacturing teams that will use the custom ICs.

When silicon comes back from the foundry, a separate test team will handle the bulk of the IC characterization, but the Senior IC Design Engineer will also participate in the characterization process.

The Senior IC Design Engineer will work with test engineers to implement wafer test procedures and provide guidance on production issues as they arise.

LeCroy is part of Teledyne which is a technology company made up of many smaller independently operated high-tech businesses. The Senior IC Design Engineer will work as part of the LeCroy IC design team, but with the benefit and resources of the larger IC design community within Teledyne.

Qualifications:

• Six or more years of BiCMOS IC design experience with multiple tape outs, meaningful personal responsibility, and successful results
• BS, MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering
• Thorough understanding of fundamental circuit design concepts such as passive network analysis, bipolar devices, CMOS devices, time and frequency domain analysis, feedback, stability, transmission lines, noise, distortion, compression, temperature sensitivity and sampling theory
• Thorough understanding of real-world circuit design considerations such as bipolar and CMOS device structure and limitations, thermal sensitivity, parasitics, electromigration, breakdown, ESD susceptibility and reliability
• Understanding of RF design topics such as S-Parameters and matching networks
• Proficiency with the tools we use or comparable tools (Virtuoso, AMS, SpectreRF, Explorer, Assembler, Quantus, EMX, Physical Verification System, Skill, Python, HFSS)
• Experience designing wideband circuits from DC to mm-wave frequencies
• Enthusiasm for sharing knowledge and mentoring junior team-members
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills

Salary Range:

$112,200.00-$150,260.000
