About the role
Key Responsibilities
Analog IP Architecture & Design
Architect, design, and deliver analog IP blocks for:
Power management (e.g., regulators, monitors, biasing)
Clock generation and distribution (e.g., PLLs, oscillators, clock monitors)
Error detection, monitoring, and safety-related analog circuitry
Drive designs from concept and architecture through schematic, simulation, layout collaboration, and silicon validation .
Ensure designs are robust, reusable, and scalable across Treo™ platform derivatives.
Production & Quality Ownership
Own analog IP blocks that tape out and go to volume production , meeting performance, yield, and reliability targets.
Act as a design quality reviewer , providing thorough technical reviews of:
Schematics
Simulation plans and results
Layout considerations
Documentation and sign-off readiness
Champion best practices in analog design quality , robustness, and documentation.
SoC Integration & Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration
Deliver analog IP into a digital-on-top SoC flow , supporting:
Clear interface definitions
Digital control and status visibility
Power, clock, and reset integration
Work closely with:
Digital design teams
Verification teams
Physical design and layout engineers
Systems and product engineering
Support top-level integration, bring-up, and debug activities as needed.
Automotive & Functional Safety
Design and deliver analog IP compliant with automotive-grade requirements , including:
Reliability
Diagnostic coverage
Fault tolerance and detection
Apply functional safety concepts (e.g., ISO 26262) at the IP level, including:
Safety mechanisms
Redundancy and monitoring
Support for ASIL-driven requirements
Collaborate with safety and systems teams to ensure traceability from requirements to implementation.
Technical Leadership & Mentorship
Mentor and guide junior and mid-level analog engineers , fostering technical growth and design excellence.
Provide hands-on coaching in:
Analog fundamentals
Debug and failure analysis
Design trade-offs and architecture decisions
Serve as a technical role model within the Cork analog design organization.
