Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Design analog circuits such as amplifiers, filters, voltage references, low-dropout regulators and data converters at transistor level.
Simulate circuit behaviour using SPICE-based circuit simulators to check gain, noise, power consumption and stability across process and temperature variations.
Work with layout engineers to place and route the circuit on silicon, checking matching and parasitic effects that can change performance.
Define specifications and interfaces together with digital, verification and system teams so the analog blocks fit the whole chip.
Run post-layout simulations and review results before a design is sent for fabrication.
Bring up and debug fabricated chips in the lab, find the cause of any failure and propose design fixes for the next revision.
Document designs, write test plans and present results in internal design reviews.
