SiTime is seeking a talented engineer to be a key
player enabling SiTime’s MEMS-based timing
products. SiTime Corporation, an analog
semiconductor company, is the leader in
MEMS-based silicon timing solutions that replace
legacy quartz products. With 80% market share and
over 250 million devices shipped, SiTime is
driving the electronics industry's transition to
100% silicon-based timing. SiTime offers an
exciting new technology, a fast-paced and
challenging work environment, and an excellent benefit package.

The Systems Characterization Engineer is
responsible for the bring-up, evaluation, and
characterization of SiTime’s revolutionary
MEMS-based timing products. Responsibilities
include mixed-signal characterization,
systems/algorithms development, datasheet
validation, performance feedback to MEMS/CMOS
design, and prototyping of test and FA
methodologies. In addition, he/she will lead
experiments to prototype new system architectures
for future products, and assist with the
development and qualification of new packaging technology.

Responsibilities:
    * Characterize and bring into production
mixed-signal timing devices incorporating MEMS resonators.
    * Design and develop high-speed
instrumentation systems including hardware and software development.
    * Develop and carry out experiments to
prototype new technologies and system architectures.
    * Assist with the development and
qualification of new packaging technology.
    * Support the bring-up of specialized programming systems overseas.
    * Develop and transfer algorithms to final test/production environments.
    * Work with circuit design team to evaluate
new silicon and specify design improvements for
performance enhancements or DFM/DFT.

Requirements:
    * MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or
Mechanical Engineering. Exceptional candidates
with other backgrounds will be considered.
    * Understanding of mixed-signal circuits.
    * Hands-on familiarity with electronics laboratory instruments.
    * Excellent programming skills, including MATLAB and/or PYTHON scripting.
    * Experience with high speed board-level hardware design and debug.
    * Ability to prototype hardware and software
systems involving National Instruments cards,
Agilent test equipment, or similar.

Knowledge and Skills Preferred:
    * Programming ability in C or C++.
    * Knowledge of timing-specific
characterization using frequency counters and time-interval-analyzers (TIAs).
    * Familiarity with mixed-signal CMOS design, including PLLs.
    * Familiarity with MEMS characterization and testing.
    * Strong statistical analysis skills.
