Design Evaluation Engineer

About the role

Analog Devices is looking for a versatile product engineer to join its advanced data converters group, which works with digital, analog and mixed-signal CMOS designers and algorithm and software developers on RF and signal processing chips. The engineer owns a specific product or group of products from product definition through production and release, and may take part in design, simulation and verification before tapeout.

Key responsibilities

• Act as the central resource linking design, test, application, software and marketing teams as products move from design to completion and distribution.
• Gather the data needed for hardware release and supporting datasheets with design, systems, software and applications engineering.
• Develop verification and characterization test plans and the software to automate data collection.
• Perform lab analysis and evaluation of new systems, identifying, simulating and correcting functional and parametric problems.
• Characterize pre-release silicon across analog, digital and firmware algorithms.
• Verify and release embedded software, and take silicon and ARM software from early development to full production release.
• Develop and operate software verification and RF-centric characterization benches.
• Work directly with field sales, applications and customers to resolve product issues, and may visit customers.

Required profile

• BE/B.Tech in Electrical, Electronics or Communication Engineering.
• 1-4 years of experience in wireless transceiver or telecommunications.
• Working knowledge of transceivers and sub-blocks (PLLs, mixers, LNAs, ADCs/DACs, JESD).
• Export licensing review may be required for non-US citizens or permanent residents.

Required skills

• RF measurements and signal processing.
• Circuit evaluation and characterization with bench equipment such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, network analyzers and vector signal analyzers.
• Programming languages; LabVIEW, C#, Python and TestStand are preferred.
• Familiarity with embedded software verification and simulation tools such as ADS and Cadence.
