Analog Design Engineer - Santa Clara, California, United States
$156,853 - $160,000 USD yearly
Originally posted 3 February 2026 by the employer — open 219 days.
Design and develop advanced CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) technologies.
About the role
This role involves the end-to-end design and development of advanced CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) technologies. You will focus on transistor-level design, simulation, and verification of analog circuits.
What you'll do
- Conduct end-to-end design and development of analog circuits using Cadence Virtuoso.
- Design analog building blocks such as Analog Static RAM (ASRAM) supporting complex readout formats like Dual Conversion Gain (DCG) and Correlated Double Sampling (CDS).
- Perform comprehensive post-layout verification, including Parasitic Extraction (PEX), Design Rule Check (DRC), Layout vs. Schematic (LVS), and Physical Electrical Rule Check (PERC) using Calibre.
- Conduct system-level analog simulation and CIS signal chain verification.
- Execute extensive process, voltage and temperature (PVT) and Monte Carlo simulations.
- Develop and maintain automation scripts in Python and Perl to streamline simulation flow, including netlist generation and batch result parsing.
What you'll need
- Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- Advanced-level coursework in Analog Integrated Circuit, CMOS Circuit Design, RF Circuits and Systems Design, VLSI system design, and VLSI Signal Processing.
- Experience with transistor-level design, simulation, and verification of analog circuits using Cadence Virtuoso.
- Skills in Analog circuits using MOS models.
- Experience with Operational amplifier and current mirror design.
- Knowledge of Noise analysis and feedback system.
- Experience with Evaluation of offset distortion and nonlinearity.
- Functional verification using ModelSim.
- Skills in Static timing analysis, power and area estimation.
- Experience with Standard-cell based logic and physical synthesis.
- Knowledge of Hardware scheduling and retiming.
- Skills in Number representation and digital arithmetic.
- Experience with Full analog IC design flow.
- Experience with Post-tapeout chip testing and validation.
- Skills in VLSI circuit and system design using Verilog.
- Knowledge of Architecture design space exploration.
- Experience with Spectrum Analyzer.
