Job Description
The role is responsible for the specifications, design, analysis, and implementation of analog and mixed signal circuits. This includes designing high-performance analog functional blocks such as integer/frational mode PLL, VCO, VCO band calibration, phase detector, charge pump, temperature sensor, bandgap references, ADC/DAC, opamps, comparators, and LDO voltage regulators, among other related circuits.
The position involves designing circuit architectures with a focus on low-noise, low-power consumption, and high-speed design techniques, as well as performing circuit simulations, noise analysis, and functional verification. The role also includes generating VerilogA/SystemVerilog behavioral models for circuit blocks and performing mixed signal AMS simulation using Cadence analog/mixed signal tools. Collaboration with the layout design team is required to initiate layout floor plans, oversee layout designers, and implement layout block DRC/LVS/ERC verification and parasitic extraction. The candidate will closely work with the product engineering team on silicon validation, lab testing, and debugging, applying lab instruments like noise analyzers, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and signal generators to characterize test IC products.
Qualifications
- Education: Master or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering
- 5+ years of related experience in analog/mixed signal IC design
- A solid track record in CMOS and/or BiCMOS IC design
- Good knowledge of integrated circuit design, device physics and advanced process technology
- Experience in designing PLLs or building blocks such as VCO, phase detector, charge pump and other related circuits
- Good understanding of transistor modeling, circuit noise theory and phase noise concepts
- Proficient in Cadence analog / mixed signal simulation toolset
- Familiar with Analog/Mixed Signal design flow, simulation models, design rules, verification procedures (DRC/LVS/ERC), and transistor-level simulations

Export Control Compliance Condition
Renesas Canada must at all times comply with U.S. and Canadian export control legislative requirements. Current U.S. export control laws require that Renesas Canada obtain a U.S. government export license prior to employing persons in positions with access to certain technology. All positions at Renesas Canada have direct or indirect access to this technology. As a result, it is necessary for Renesas Canada to determine if it would need an export license for new employees. To do so, we ask all candidates for employment whether their most recent country of citizenship or permanent residence is one of the countries specified in the export controls laws or regulations.
Renesas recognizes that you are entitled to human rights and privacy protections in the workplace and takes these obligations seriously. As such, we want you to know that your decision to complete the export control questions is entirely voluntary. Regrettably, should you choose not to complete these questions, we cannot consider you for employment because doing so would jeopardize our ability to comply with the applicable export controls laws. Should you choose to complete the questions, we will use the information collected only to determine if we would need an export license to employ you and not for any other purpose.
Successful candidates must be eligible to meet the requirements of U.S. export control regulations, including (if applicable) the issuance of any required export license prior to starting employment at Renesas Canada. The decision whether to or not to file or pursue an export license application is at the sole discretion of Renesas Canada.
