Qualifications
Minimum:
MS in Electrical Engineering or related field with 3+ years of professional experience in Memory/Mixed-signal IC designs, including but not limited to:

• 
  
• 
  Feature and specification definition of potential circuits such as memories, op amps, bias circuits, Charge Pumps etc.
  
  
• 
  Exploration of novel, robust, competitive circuit solutions (considering power, area and performance) through feasibility studies including transient circuit simulation, Monte Carlo simulation, stability/Pole-Zero analysis, circuit aging and electrical overstress analysis.
  
  
• 
  Effective schematic capture and behavioral modeling of circuits in Verilog, as well as logical equivalence verification between schematic and Verilog models.
  
  
• 
  Physical verification of circuit through layout-extracted static timing analysis (STA), electrical rules' check and noise analysis.
  
  
• 
  Reliability verification of layout: IR drop, electro-migration and self-heat analysis.
  
  
• 
  Circuit design convergence using industry standard design and validation tools.
  
  
• 
  Layout strategies, and techniques (including analog techniques) to meet variance, timing, noise, and reliability requirements.
  
  
• 
  Device physics and process technology, especially as it applies to Memory/Mixed-signal designs.
