Pmic Designer - Lecce, Italia - Cortus

Descrizione

General description and main responsibilities:

CORTUS is working on the next generation of IoT connectivity modems building up 5G massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) chipset that will define ultra-low power, high reliability and low-cost benchmarks for SoC products that rely on NB-IoT, BLE and IEEE

To become a chip leader in wireless connectivity for the IoT market, we are looking for Junior/Mid Power Management IC Design Engineers (M/F) for our R&D centers of excellence.

As a Power Management IC designer, you will develop new efficient DC/DC IPs (e.g. bucks, boosts, buck-boosts converters, charge pumps, chargers, LDOs) and implement circuit design with best-practice layout techniques. He/She will directly interact with system architects, Digital design team, AMS design teams and Back-End
engineers for the integration of the Power Management functions into the CORTUS' SoC family product for wireless connectivity.
The ideal applicants should be familiar on working in a multicultural environment and with teams spread over several sites.


Minimum requirements:

• Engineering Msc. or Bsc. degree in Electronics/Telecommunications or equivalent;
• Experience in power management architecture topologies, such as PWM control, constantontime control, and voltage/current mode controls;
• Capability to handle the design of CMOS/BCD power management circuits (buck, boost, LDOs, bandgaps, bias, comparators, and opamps ) with main EDA tools and meeting performance, area, power and speed constraints;
• Capability to review and provide feedback for Printed Circuit Board design from a power perspective and associated I/O;
• Knowledge of physical construction and characteristics of capacitor and inductors (onchip and offchip);
• Knowledge of Latch-Up and ESD phenomena to assure the functional security of the system
• Scheduling and reporting activities;
• English language written and spoken;
• Proven communication/interpersonal skills;
• Able to assume responsibility for a variety of technical tasks and troubleshooting;
• Strong sense of responsibility and ability to achieve deadlines.

Highly preferred skills (plus):

• Experience modeling circuits in Matlab, VerilogA, Python, or C for concepts prior to implementation;
• Validate analog/power designs on a lab bench using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, etc;
• Design with detailed testability; write test plans for trim and calibration; collaborate with test engineers;
• Script programming language (e.g. perl, shell, phyton);
• Familiar with realtime embedded software (especially debugging).
