AI Silicon, Analog Design
Originally posted April 3, 2026 by the employer. Relisted by the employer on November 14, 2026.
About the role
This role is responsible for driving invention, prototyping, and validation of core analog mixed-signal computing platform components. You will architect and implement circuits mapped to semiconductor physics from specification to GDSII.
What you'll do
- Define, architect, and implement complex analog mixed-signal circuits from specification to GDSII in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies.
- Take ownership of the full design cycle for critical IP blocks.
- Conduct comprehensive pre-layout and post-layout verification, including exhaustive analysis for PVT variations, noise, mismatch (Monte Carlo), stability, and reliability (EM/IR).
- Collaborate with digital design teams to define interfaces, conduct top-level mixed-signal simulation, and ensure integration of analog and digital blocks.
- Define detailed floorplans and critical layout guidelines for high-performance blocks, working with layout engineers to optimize parasitic, matching, and signal integrity performance.
What you'll need
- Master's degree (MSEE) or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering.
- Minimum of 5 years of hands-on, full-cycle Analog/Mixed-Signal IC design experience, resulting in successfully taped-out and characterized silicon.
- Deep understanding of transistor-level circuit design, device physics, and noise/mismatch mechanisms in CMOS processes.
- Proficiency with scripting languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for automation of design flows and data post-processing.
Nice to have
- Experience with designing circuits in modern process nodes (22nm, 12nm and newer).
- Deep understanding of device physics.
- Experience with behavioral modeling of analog circuits and impairments for system-level verification (e.g., in Verilog, Python, C++, MATLAB).

How we counted: 315 open Analog IC Design (Analog Design) roles from 55 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 14 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Analog & Mixed-Signal family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
