Staff Analog Design Engineer

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.

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Experience:

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field:
• Bachelor’s with 7+ years of relevant IC design experience.
• Master’s with 5+ years of relevant IC design experience.
• PhD with 3+ years of relevant IC design experience.
• 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
• Familiarity with reliability topics (ESD, latch‑up, long‑term device stress).
• Experience across multiple CMOS process nodes and geometry scales.
• Ability to plan, lead, and review analog subsystem designs.
