I am a design engineer at Crystal Semiconductor Corporation in Austin,
Texas.  I am sending out this message because we need to hire a number
of new design engineers.  There are positions open for both
experienced designers and managers, and new graduates (MS or PhD) who
are interested in analog and/or digital CMOS IC design, signal
processing or CAD.  Some experience is required either through a
project during school or through work experience.

There are openings in the following areas:

- Disk Drives:  read channel ICs, signal processing and channel coding
- Audio: multimedia, delta-sigma A/D and D/A converters
- DSP: logic design, layout synthesis, development tools and applications
- Communications: modem, LAN

Mail or FAX to me your resume along with a cover letter summarizing
your experience, talents, and interrward this message
to anyone you think might be qualified or interested.

Background 
----------
At Crystal Semiconductor, our success is built on being the most
innovative Analog Circuit company.  We have an impressive string of
"firsts" to back up that claim.

- the first monolithic T1 line interface
- the first 16-bit monolithic analog to digital converter (ADC)
- the first CMOS Ethernet Transceiver
- the first monolithic Delta-Sigma ADC
- the first monolithic 20-bit dc measurement ADC
- the first monolithic signal processing ADC with 130dB dynamic range
- the first DAC SCF analog output filter with 97 dB dynamic range
- the first absolute accurate 12-bit a/d converter 1ppm / degree C

Achieving better performance with more integration is a Crystal
hallmark.  SMART Analog design techniqures uniquely combine complex
analog functions with powerful digital circuitry to build the most
capable analog circuits in the industry.  Crystal Semiconductor is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Cirrus Logic Inc.

Headquatered in Fremont, California, Cirrus Logic develops innovative
architectures for analog and digital system functions and implements
those architectures in VLSI silicon for applications that include mass
storage, user interface (graphics, audio and video), communications,
and data acquisition.  Key markets for Cirrus Logic's products include
desktop and portable computing, workstations, telecommunications, and
consumer electronics.  Cirrus Logic is a leading supplier of
semiconductors and software for both desktop and portable computing.
Its technology and products are focused on LCD and CRT display
control, multimedia audio and video, mass storage, and wired
communications (LAN and FAX/data/voice modem chips.  Cirrus recently
acquired Pacific Communication Sciences Inc (PCSI) in San Diego.  PCSI
specializes in digital wireless communications systems and portable
computing.  Cirrus Logic is traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange under
the CRUS symbol.  Earnings for the for the last year were 91.7
million.
