Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer

Job title: Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer

About the Role Seeking an experienced analog/mixed-signal design engineer to develop complex mixed-signal ICs for Timing and Infrastructure applications. The role includes defining system architecture, transistor-level analog circuit design, simulation, behavioral models, layout supervision, tape-out support, silicon evaluation, debugging, production test development, and customer support to enable high-volume production.

What You'll Do

• Architect, designs and verifies circuits, logic, systems, algorithms, etc. to meet product requirements.
• Determine design approaches and parameters.
• Develops innovative new designs for patenting or protecting as trade secret.
• Demonstrates good judgment in solving a broad range of issues, based on an advanced understanding of industry practices and company policies and procedures.
• Responsible for custom layout, including overseeing the work of layout designers.
• Reports on design results through design reviews, in accordance with company quality requirements and resolves action items generated as a result of these reviews.
• Attends design reviews to provide input and learn from other designers’ experiences.
• Research design techniques through technical publications and seminars.
• Supports marketing in product definition.
• Having a wide-ranging experience uses professional concepts and company objectives to resolve complex issues in a creative and effective way.
• Determines methods and procedures on new assignments and may coordinate the activities of other personnel.

What We're Looking For

• A technology-related master’s degree or equivalent training and 8+ years of analog/mixed-signal design experience developing mixed-signal ICs (an advanced degree may reduce the minimum).
• Strong knowledge of engineering fundamentals.
• Advanced knowledge of CMOS fabrication processes.
• Advanced knowledge of MOS transistors and analog/digital circuit design.
• Knowledge of complex AD/DC analysis (poles, zeros, compensation).
• Advanced signal analysis knowledge.
• Basic understanding of CMOS and BCD parasitic junctions and the risks, with strong parasitic analysis knowledge (capacitance, resistance, power grid).
• Advanced knowledge of circuit building blocks (e.g., OPAMP, gm-C filters, switch capacitors, ADC, DAC, state-machines, and bus interfaces).
• Advanced understanding of layout tradeoffs for performance and size.
• Advanced design skills in system modeling.
• Strong knowledge of UNIX, MATLAB, and circuit simulation tools.
• Proficiency in layout verification, DRC, LVS.

Nice to Have

• Working knowledge of device physics.
• Working knowledge of digital design and design flows.
• System knowledge (e.g., High Performance PLLs).
• Knowledge of scripting language (Python, shell, skill).
• Advanced laboratory measurement skills (analog, digital).
• Knowledge of MS Office documentation, spreadsheet, presentation tools or equivalent tools.
• Familiarity with quality systems documentation and procedures.
• Competency with design tools.
• Excellent written and verbal presentation skills.

Compensation & Benefits

• The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD 114,400 - 220,200 per year. Starting base pay will depend on relevant experience and skills, training and education, business needs, market demands, the ultimate job duties and requirements, and work location.
• Benefits include access to healthcare benefits (including a premium-free medical plan option), a 401(k) plan and company match, an employee stock purchase plan, paid time off (including vacation, sick/wellness, parental leave), among others.
• Employees are eligible to participate in an incentive plan, and certain roles are also eligible for additional awards, including recognition and stock.
