Staff Analog IC Design Engineer, Power

Job title: Staff Analog IC Design Engineer, Power

About the Role Skyworks is seeking an experienced Staff Analog IC Design Engineer, Power to develop complex analog/mixed-signal and power-management ICs for Industrial Control, Industrial Power, Isolation, and Infrastructure applications. The role involves defining architectures, designing transistor-level analog blocks, simulating performance, coordinating layout and tape-out, and enabling high-volume production.

What You'll Do

• Architect, design, verify circuits, systems, and algorithms to meet product requirements for analog/mixed-signal and power-management ICs.
• Participate in product roadmaps, definition, technology selection, design, and verification; contribute to system architecture.
• Design transistor-level analog circuit blocks; simulate sub-system performance; create/use behavioral models of blocks and the entire IC.
• Do and/or supervise physical layout; verify circuit and chip-level operation and performance; assist with tape-out related activities.
• Conduct detailed documentation, silicon evaluation and debugging, production test development support, and customer support.
• Report design results through design reviews; attend reviews to provide input and learn from others; mentor junior team members.
• Balance innovation with execution; contribute to end-to-end design flow from product definition to high-volume manufacturing; support manufacturing problem solving.
• Research design techniques through technical publications and seminars; protect IP via patents or trade secrets.

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of Analog/Power IC design experience.
• Advanced knowledge of MOS transistors and analog circuit design.
• Knowledge of complex AC/DC analysis (poles, zeros, compensation), loop dynamics and feedback systems.
• Advanced knowledge of device physics and CMOS/BiCMOS fabrication processes.
• Experience with complex mixed-signal design problems.
• End-to-end design flow experience from product definition to high-volume manufacturing including production test, applications validation and manufacturing problem solving.
• Advanced understanding of layout tradeoffs for performance and size.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers; strong background in analog signal chain solutions.
• Strong knowledge of circuit simulation tools, layout verification tools, modeling tools, and UNIX.

Nice to Have

• Knowledge of high voltage processes and design in BCD and/or SOI type processes.
• Experience with integrated power conversion circuits (SD-ADC, SAR ADC, DC-DC/Power converters, charge-pumps, LDOs, oscillators, rectifiers).
• Advanced MOS device modeling skills (noise, excess thermal noise, DIBL).
• Exceptional laboratory measurement skills.
• System knowledge (e.g., isolators) and advanced design skills in system modeling.
• Understanding of mixed-signal solutions including discrete-time digital signal processing.
• Familiarity with quality systems documentation and procedures.
• Excellent written and verbal presentation skills.
