Analog Design Engineer - Austin, Texas, United States
Analog & Mixed-Signal Design
Originally posted 15 April 2026 by the employer — open 147 days.
About the role
This role involves developing high-performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for advanced consumer and embedded applications.
What you'll do
- Design and develop analog and mixed-signal IC blocks including data converters, power management, and amplifiers in advanced CMOS processes.
- Define architectures, perform transistor-level design, and create behavioral and system models using Matlab, Verilog-A, SystemVerilog, and Simulink.
- Simulate and verify circuit and chip-level performance using Spectre and mixed-signal methodologies.
- 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.
- Support product validation, characterization, and production test development through debug, analysis, and silicon learning.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s with 2+ years or Master’s with 0+ 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 such as Matlab, Spectre, Verilog-A, and SystemVerilog.
- Solid understanding of device physics, noise analysis, stability, and control theory.
- Hands-on lab experience with silicon debug and validation.
Nice to have
- Experience with power conversion architectures (inductive and/or capacitive).
- Experience with Delta-sigma ADCs/DACs and discrete-time or continuous-time signal processing.
- Experience with switched-capacitor circuits, PLLs, LNAs, and audio-oriented analog blocks.
- Experience with 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.
