Description

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

This is an opportunity to join a dynamic team of experienced engineers developing physical IP for industry-standard high-speed serial-links.

The successful candidate will ideally be a highly-motivated self-starter who can work independently to complete assigned tasks and contribute to project leadership. The candidate will contribute to all mixed-signal design, verification, and testing aspects. This includes circuit design and development from a high-level architectural specification, post-silicon test plan development and execution, and collaboration with the digital team to achieve functional and performance closure.

Candidate must have a thorough understanding of the following: 

  • Mixed-signal circuit design fundamentals
  • Mixed-signal circuit design and verification flows
  • Cadence analog design environment
  • Basic signal processing concepts

Familiarity with the following items is a plus:

  • Serial link design techniques
  • Data converter (ADCs and/or DACs) and/or clock synthesis and recovery (PLLs, DLLs, CDRs) techniques
  • MATLAB or C to facilitate architecture development
  • Hardware description languages such as SystemVerilog or VerilogA for functional model development
  • Scripting languages such as Perl or Python for automation
  • Silicon validation testing knowledge and experience

Other requirements:

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Ph.D. EE degree with 5+ years or MS EE. degree with 7+ years of mixed signal design industry experience in advanced process technologies

The annual salary range for California is $154,000 to $286,000. You may also be eligible to receive incentive compensation: bonus, equity, and benefits. Sales positions generally offer a competitive On Target Earnings (OTE) incentive compensation structure. Please note that the salary range is a guideline and compensation may vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level, competencies and work location. Our benefits programs include: paid vacation and paid holidays, 401(k) plan with employer match, employee stock purchase plan, a variety of medical, dental and vision plan options, and more.

We’re doing work that matters. Help us solve what others can’t.
