Principal Analog Mixed-Signal Design Engineer

About the position

As an Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer, you will be part of a key team designing sophisticated advanced node CMOS products. Your responsibilities will include developing and verifying circuits such as PLL, DLL, ADC, regulators, amplifiers, TX, RX, and CDRs to meet performance targets. You will also work on analog and clocking blocks for connectivity applications, using industry-standard tools like Spectre and MATLAB. The company seeks a highly motivated designer for this role.

Responsibilities

• Develop and verify circuits such as PLL, DLL, ADC, regulators, amplifiers, TX, RX, and CDRs.
• Work on analog and clocking blocks for connectivity applications.
• Utilize industry-standard tools like Spectre and MATLAB for design and verification.

Requirements

• Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from a top-tier university.
• 8+ years of experience supporting or developing complex analog IC designs.
• Hands-on experience in designing high-speed mixed-signal circuits including ADC/DAC data converters, RX front-end, TX driver/serializer, low-jitter PLLs, TX/RX calibration, and low-jitter CLK distribution.
• Deep understanding of biasing, band-gaps, reference circuits, opamps, comparators, and other analog circuits.
• Solid track record for implementation of analog circuits for high-speed data transmission.
• Design and tape out experience in advanced CMOS nodes (e.g., 7nm, 5nm, 3nm FinFET).
• Solid fundamentals in detailed transistor-level design, feedback/stability analysis, and noise/jitter analysis.
• Strong experience in lab chip bring-up and debugging efforts.

Nice-to-haves

• Relevant research publications and/or patents in analog or RF IC design.
• Familiarity with programming/scripting languages such as Python, Matlab, or C.
• Experience with PCB design.
• Familiarity with Verilog RTL or DSP design concepts.
• Knowledge of optical transceivers.
• Expertise in ESD protection techniques and IC packaging methodologies.

Benefits

• Base salary range of $160,000.00 USD - $240,000.00 USD, determined based on location, experience, and pay of employees in similar positions.
