Job Description

Sr.ASIC designer:

This Senior position will be responsible for guiding and developing ASICs for applications within Magnetic Resonance (MR) systems. The successful candidate will interface with ASIC simulation & design teams, and Hardware Subsystem teams to help deliver mixed-signal and digital ASIC design solutions.

Essential Responsibilities

Duties include (but are not limited to):

• Guide ASIC development leveraging experience in mixed-signal (RF ADC/DAC & associated demodulation, digital filtering, etc functional blocks) and digital ASIC design

• Familiarity with System Verilog and VHDL code to understand FPGA-based designs; familiar with transitioning FPGA solutions to ASIC

• Scope and define ASIC test and verification plans, ensuring test coverage & debugging are key parts of initial designs.

• Support verification using UVM or equivalent industry standard methodology

• Write detailed functional specifications that document newly created designs and support product introduction.

• Provide technical support to team throughout product development and implementation process.

• Model, build, test, and modify product prototypes using working models or theoretical models constructed with simulation.

• Provide input requirements & definition to firmware team to develop low-level drivers for communication links.

• Select hardware and material, assuring compliance with specifications and product requirements.

• Engaging in all phases of new product introduction: concept, architecture, documentation, design, prototype, test, supplier interfaces, manufacturing introduction and service support.

• Update knowledge and skills in order to keep up with rapid advancements in ASIC/mixed-signal processes & technologies.

• Identifying and developing new opportunities to leverage Strategic Sourcing objectives and Common Technology initiatives in the MR product line.

Qualifications/Requirements

• BS in Electrical Engineering or similar with at least 10 years mixed signal ASIC design experience.
• Experience in full cycle mixed-signal ASIC development & realization, including understanding of all involved tasks to drive a design to tape-out
• Familiarity with analog ASIC design tools (Synopsys, Cadence, etc).
• Demonstrated experience in digital ASIC (System Verilog/VHDL) design and simulation tools (QuestaSim, Xcelium, etc)
• Demonstrated experience in MATLAB or equivalent simulation/modeling tool
• Working knowledge of project management processes and procedures.
• Experience with typical related electrical test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers
