About the Role

PLL Architect and Design Engineer Responsibilities

Address challenges in advanced node technologies, such as self‑heating, electromigration, voltage‑controlled oscillator (VCO) linearization and device‑level noise optimization.

Architect, design and simulate analog/mixed‑signal PLL building blocks (VCOs, charge pumps, dividers, PFDs, loop filters) at transistor level using tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre.

Be responsible for PLL bring‑up in the lab and conduct performance characterization using state‑of‑the‑art lab equipment.

Conduct comprehensive system‑level simulations and validation for PLL integration into advanced transceiver technologies.

Supervise and verify layouts produced by layout engineers to ensure floorplanning, matching, and parasitic minimization using advanced node technologies.

Understand trade‑offs between different PLL topologies (integer‑N, fractional‑N, all‑digital/ADPLL) to meet specifications for p...
