Job Description

 

How the Timing Design Team Works

Skyworks’ Timing Division is focused on creating a new generation of clock, oscillator and network synchronization products. Our team designs system-on-chip hardware and software for precision timing chips. These complex mixed-signal ICs require a multi-disciplined IC design team working in close collaboration to achieve the lowest power and most cost-effective solutions.  The Timing Design team is comprised of the brightest and most innovative engineers in the semiconductor industry, spanning multiple disciplines: Analog, RF, Digital and Software.  Design Engineering Directors / Technical Directors work closely with managers, analog and digital design engineers, layout designers and software engineers throughout all phases of the chip design process: architecture, design and implementation, verification, and validation of silicon. Products are often mixed-signal and may include analog and RF components. Many of our products also include one or more CPUs, custom DSP hardware and Arithmetic/DSP cores. 

 

The Role

We are seeking a technical leader and experienced Design Engineering Director / Technical Director for our Timing Products division. This team is responsible for creating the next generation of complex analog mixed-signal ICs geared towards telecommunications, networking, and other infrastructure applications. The position requires a strong analog circuit design background including a proven history of innovative product and IP definition and design.  

You will be a key contributor and provide direction to product roadmaps, definition, technology selection, circuit design, and verification. You will serve as a hands-on group Director / Technical Director of a mixed-signal design team, providing technical leadership in defining and implementing the overall system architecture, guiding design of transistor-level analog circuit blocks, simulation of sub-system performance, realization of the entire IC, supervising physical layout, verification of circuit and chip-level operation and performance, and assisting with tape-out related activities. Responsibilities will also include driving documentation, silicon evaluation and debugging, production test development support, customer support, and other activities as required for the achievement of high-volume production.
