Analog IC Design Engineer

Analog IC Design Engineer 

We are seeking an experienced Integrated Circuit Engineer who is responsible for designing, simulating, and testing analog circuits using CMOS technology. This role requires ability to work on building blocks such as amplifiers, oscillators, and data converters. The role involves collaborating with other engineers to ensure that the circuits meet performance, power, and area requirements, as well as troubleshooting and optimizing designs for manufacturing. In addition, use specialized software tools for circuit simulation and layout verification.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop precision analog building blocks.
• Run schematic-level simulations, pre- and post-layout parasitic extractions.
• Supervise or execute physical layout design.

Required Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering, or related field.

• 3 to 8 years of industry experience working with deep-submicron CMOS processes (ranging from mature nodes like 180nm, 65nm down to 20nm
• Deep understanding of CMOS device physics, analog microelectronics, feedback systems, stability, and low-noise design.
• Expertise in building blocks like operational amplifiers, bandgap reference, LDOs (Low-Dropout regulators), oscillators (VCO, ring, LC tank), and data converters (ADCs/DACs, PLLs, LVDS, sLVDS, SerDes).
• Proficiency in simulation and layout software, primarily Cadence (Virtuoso, Spectre, AMS) and Spice.
• Understanding IC layout constraints, floor planning, and running DRC (Design Rule Checking), LVS (Layout Versus Schematic), and ERC (Electrical Rule Checking).

Preferred Qualifications

• CMOS image sensor design or sensor readout electronics.
• Experience with Stacked chips and/or 1D-2D Stitching.
• Mixed-signal integration with digital blocks.
• Low-noise and low-power design.
