Analog/Mixed Signal ASIC Design Engineer
$142,400 - $213,600 USD yearly
Originally posted 30 July 2026 by the employer — open 42 days.
Design high-performance and low-power mixed-signal IPs like SerDes, DDR, PLL, DAC, ADC, and sensors.
About the role
This role involves designing analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for various mixed-signal IPs in advanced silicon process technologies. You will contribute to Qualcomm's SOCs and RF transceiver products for 5G, AI/ML, compute, and automotive applications.
What you'll do
- Develop architecture definitions and analog/digital design partitioning for mixed-signal IPs.
- Perform schematic capture and circuit simulations using the Cadence Virtuoso tool suite.
- Collaborate with layout and digital teams on design implementation, verification, and IP delivery.
- Work with product test teams on post-silicon verification, bringup, debug, and production support.
What you'll need
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- Demonstrated interest in analog circuit design.
- Experience with ASIC design tools such as Cadence Virtuoso.
- Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering with 2+ years of experience with analog or mixed-signal integrated circuit design in nanometer planar CMOS or FinFET and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, or related work experience, OR Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, or related work experience, OR PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, or related work experience.
- 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 an analog designer of mixed-signal IPs, such as SerDes, DDR, PLL, DAC, ADC, sensors.
- 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.
- Good understanding of Signals and Systems.
- Good understanding of Sampled Domain signal processing.
