Design and verify analog and mixed-signal CMOS circuits for integrated voltage regulators. Responsibilities include architectural contribution, schematic and post-layout simulation, circuit research, documentation, design reviews, and cross-functional debugging with characterization, test, and applications teams. The role involves full-custom CMOS design, circuit block ownership, chip integration, and supporting verification and production readiness.
About Ferric, Inc.
Ferric is a technology startup based in New York City that is pioneering an entirely new approach to power delivery for Integrated Circuits and Electronic Assemblies. This approach leverages Ferric’s integration of thin-film magnetic inductors with CMOS technology to enable a significant improvement in the integration density and efficiency of voltage regulators (VRs) compared with current commercially available technologies.
As a Ferric Design Engineer, you contribute to building the most advanced cutting edge integrated voltage regulators, leveraging Ferric’s industry-leading on-chip inductor technology. These products have applications ranging from high-power modern SoCs to ultra-low power Mobile platforms including wearable devices.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Design analog and mixed-signal circuits meeting architectural requirements and technical specifications in various CMOS nodescad
- Actively contribute to the architectural definition of the design and chip integration and work with business and application team to define specifications for upcoming IC's
