Teledyne LeCroy’s products need to be the fastest, cleanest and most flexible to handle the challenges of characterizing the advanced electronics being developed across the world.
Teledyne LeCroy’s custom integrated circuits sit at the heart of our instruments. To make the best instruments, we need chips that perform at the edge of what is theoretically possible. To make these chips we hire the most talented and creative IC designers in the industry. If that is you, keep reading.
The Senior IC Designer will design custom integrated circuits primarily using Silicon Germanium BiCMOS technologies. These custom circuits will be used in Teledyne LeCroy’s oscilloscopes and probes. We pride ourselves in achieving the highest level of technical performance out of each of our designs. The Senior IC designer will be expected to leverage a strong technical foundation and creative problem-solving skills to find new ways to tackle engaging technical problems.
The designs will encompass all aspects of oscilloscope acquisitions systems from amplification and signal conditioning to sampling, clocking and triggering. Some examples of design characteristics are as follows:
•
Wideband operation from DC up to mm-wave frequencies
•
Optimization of frequency responses, return losses, noise, distortion, jitter and many other signal quality characteristics
•
Balancing power vs performance
•
Design for manufacturability and reliability
The Senior IC Design Engineer will primarily use Cadence tools (Virtuoso, AMS, SpectreRF, Explorer, Assembler, Quantus, EMX, Physical Verification System) to complete the design tasks. Ansys HFSS may also be used.
Skill and Python scripting are used heavily to improve efficiency and expose new capabilities during the design process.
