Analog/Mixed Signal ASIC Design Engineer

Qualcomm San Diego, California, United States of America, United States 8 months ago
Analog & Mixed-Signal Design

$142,400 - $213,600 USD yearly

Originally posted 29 January 2026 by the employer — open 224 days.

About the role

This role involves designing high-speed, high-performance, and low-power mixed-signal IPs for Qualcomm's products. The focus will be on mixed-signal IPs such as SerDes, DDR, PLL, DAC, ADC, and sensors.

What you'll do

  • Work in the analog design team for schematic capture and simulations.
  • Participate in architecture definition and analog/digital design partitioning.
  • Perform schematic capture and simulations using the Cadence Virtuoso tool suite.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including layout and digital teams.
  • Work with the testing team for silicon bringup and debugging.

What you'll need

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • Demonstrated interest in analog circuit design through coursework or work experience.
  • Experience with ASIC design tools such as Cadence Virtuoso.
  • 2+ years of experience with analog or mixed-signal integrated circuit design in nanometer planar CMOS or FinFET.
  • 2+ years of experience using one or more design tools (e.g., CADENCE, SPICE, MATLAB, and/or Verilog/VHDL).

Nice to have

  • Several years of industry experience in analog integrated circuit/system design.
  • Experience as a high speed analog designer of mixed-signal IPs, such as CTLE, CDR, PLL RXAFE, PLL, DAC, ADC.
  • Familiarity with Matlab and Python.
  • Good understanding of architecture, system, and integration aspects for mixed-signal.
  • Good understanding of design for yield and production challenges with high speed serial links.
  • Good understanding of Signals and Systems.
  • Sampled Domain signal processing experience.
