Job Description:

Company DescriptionMicrochip Technology Inc. is a leading provider of embedded control applications. Our product portfolio comprises general purpose and specialized 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microcontrollers, 32-bit microprocessors, field-programmable gate array (FPGA) products, a broad spectrum of high-performance linear, mixed-signal, power management, thermal management, radio frequency (RF), timing, safety, security, wired connectivity and wireless connectivity devices, as well as serial Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), Serial Flash memories, Parallel Flash memories, and serial Static Random Access Memory (SRAM). We also license Flash-IP solutions that are incorporated in a broad range of products.Job DescriptionThis opportunity is for a senior level analog SOC Architect in a Microchip business unit focused on design and manufacture of embedded microcontrollers targeting sensor and low-latency control applications.The candidate will work with the R teams to define and document the analog architecture of new products, guide them through IP decisions and provide technical leadership.The candidate will identify and define new IP and drive 'make vs. buy' decisions.The candidate will be responsible for defining products that improve performance, ease customer migration, and are compatible with the existing software and development tools ecosystem. The candidate must be a self-starter and enjoy a hands-on approach.The candidate must be able to envision the complete customer solution while being able to define and document low-level implementation details.A diverse background in electronic systems is helpful for this position.The candidate will be responsible for the definition of the mixed-signal infrastructure of an embedded microcontroller.The candidate will define chip-level analog subsystems, associated digital control logic and interconnect.These include subsystems for voltage regulation, power management, ADC/DAC conversion, op-amps, comparators, capacitive sensing circuits, I/O pads, and clock generation blocks.The analog subsystems must support application-level sensing and control solutions in unique and innovative ways.The candidate will define new IP as necessary and drive 'make vs. buy' decisions.The candidate will investigate and acquire external IP to support a solution when necessary.The candidate will participate in design reviews of analog modules and subsystems to ensure design targets are met.The candidate will also participate in the review of validation data and may participate in analog validation activities as required.The candidate will oversee integration and layout of the analog systems during the chip design process to ensure that analog performance requirements are achieved.The candidate must have a self-starting and hands-on attitude.The candidate must be able to envision the complete customer solution that includes support tools, documentation, firmware, and hardware.At the same time, the candidate must be able to define and document low-level hardware details that will make the entire solution successful.Job RequirementsMinimum Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Master's Degree preferredAt least 7-10 years of work experience in one or more of the following areas:Embedded SOC/ASIC requirements specificationAnalog SOC design or analog system design in process nodes of 65nm or smallerDesign of embedded systems with a focus on analogExperience in any of the following areas is a plus:SOC or FPGA development using architectures such as ARC, ARM, MIPS, RISC-V, etc.Embedded analog sensing applications, including touch sensingHigh-speed ADC designLow power SOC/ASIC design or specificationAdditional Preferred Qualifications: Strong interpersonal skills, oral communication and influencing skillsExcellent writing and presentation skills Able to assume responsibility, proactively address problems, and drive closure
