About the Job

Requirements

A degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, with a bachelor's degree and 10+ years of relevant IC design experience, a master's degree and 8+ years, or a PhD and 6+ years.
Strong foundation in CMOS analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit design.
Deep understanding of the analog design flow, including architecture, design, integration, verification, and silicon validation.
Proficiency with analog modeling and simulation tools such as Matlab, Spectre, Verilog-A, and SystemVerilog.
Solid understanding of device physics, noise analysis, stability, and control theory.
Hands-on lab experience with silicon debug and validation.
Ability to work in a collaborative environment.

Responsibilities

Design and develop analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit blocks from concept through production, including data converters, power management, amplifiers, and supporting circuitry in advanced CMOS processes.
Define architectures, perform transistor-level design, and create behavioral and system models using tools such as Matlab, Verilog-A, SystemVerilog, and Simulink.
Simulate and verify circuit and chip-level performance using Spectre and mixed-signal methodologies, including analog-on-top and digital-on-top.
Lead or support layout implementation, post-layout simulation, and performance optimization, ensuring design rule check and layout versus schematic closure.
Perform silicon bring-up, lab validation, debugging, and post-silicon characterization using standard lab instrumentation.
Collaborate with digital, layout, test, and systems engineering teams to deliver robust, manufacturable designs.
Support product validation, characterization, and production test development through debugging, analysis, and silicon learning.
Contribute to design reviews, technical documentation, and reusable analog infrastructure or platforms.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with inductive and/or capacitive power conversion architectures.
Experience with delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters and digital-to-analog converters, and discrete-time or continuous-time signal processing.
Experience with switched-capacitor circuits, phase-locked loops, low-noise amplifiers, and audio-oriented analog blocks.
Experience with system and behavioral modeling.
Familiarity with reliability topics such as electrostatic discharge, latch-up, and long-term device stress.
Experience across multiple CMOS process nodes and geometry scales.
Ability to plan, lead, and review analog subsystem designs.

We are seeking a highly motivated Analog Design Engineer to join a collaborative hardware design team developing high performance analog and mixed signal integrated circuits for advanced consumer and embedded applications. In this role, you will contribute to the design of next generation ICs spanning data converters, power management, amplifiers, and common analog infrastructure implemented in advanced CMOS processes.

You will participate in the full IC development lifecycle, from concept and architecture through silicon validation and production, while working closely with cross functional teams to deliver robust, manufacturable solutions that integrate easily into customer systems.

Responsibilities:

Design and develop analog and mixed-signal IC blocks from concept through production, including data converters, power management, amplifiers, and supporting circuitry in advanced CMOS processes.

Define architectures, perform transistor‑level design, and create behavioral and system models using tools such as Matlab, Verilog‑A, SystemVerilog, and Simulink.

Simulate and verify circuit and chip‑level performance using Spectre and mixed‑signal methodologies (analog‑on‑top, digital‑on‑top).

Lead or support layout implementation, post‑layout simulation, and performance optimization, ensuring DRC/LVS closure.

Perform silicon bring‑up, lab validation, debug, and post‑silicon characterization using standard lab instrumentation.

Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including digital, layout, test, and systems engineering to ensure robust, manufacturable designs.

Support product validation, characterization, and production test development through debug, analysis, and silicon learning.

Contribute to design reviews, technical documentation, and reusable analog infrastructure or platforms.

Strong foundation in CMOS analog and mixed‑signal IC design.

Deep understanding of the analog design flow: architecture, design, integration, verification, and silicon validation.

Proficiency with analog modeling and simulation tools (e.g., Matlab, Spectre, Verilog‑A, SystemVerilog).

Solid understanding of device physics, noise analysis, stability, and control theory.

Hands‑on lab experience with silicon debug and validation.

Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.

Organized, detail‑oriented, and comfortable working in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment.

Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Experience:

Experience with:

Power conversion architectures (inductive and/or capacitive)

Delta‑sigma ADCs/DACs and discrete‑time or continuous‑time signal processing

Switched‑capacitor circuits, PLLs, LNAs, and audio‑oriented analog blocks

System and behavioral modeling
