Analog/Mixed-Signal Circuit Design Engineer - San Jose, CA, United States
$150,000 - $250,000 USD yearly
Originally posted 5 November 2025 by the employer — open 309 days.
About the role
This role involves the design and implementation of high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits. The focus is on memory and interface solutions.
What you'll do
- Design analog/mixed-signal circuits such as wireline transmitters/receivers, equalizers (CTLE/DFE), PLLs, CDRs, ADCs, DACs, voltage regulators, and bandgap references.
- Collaborate with design teams to define circuit specifications and architecture.
- Perform schematic design, simulation, and silicon validation for circuit blocks.
- Supervise and guide layout/mask designers, providing floorplan and layout guidelines.
- Analyze circuit performance and support design sign-off and characterization.
- Document design methodology and contribute to continuous improvement of design flows.
What you'll need
- BS in Electrical Engineering or a related field plus minimum 4 years of industry experience in analog and/or mixed-signal circuit design (or MS plus minimum 2 years of industry experience).
- Solid understanding of analog and mixed-signal fundamentals, including noise, matching, parasitics, and feedback systems.
- Proven hands-on design experience in one or more of the following: wireline transmitters/receivers, equalizers (CTLE/DFE), PLLs, CDRs, ADCs, DACs, voltage regulators, and bandgap references.
- Understanding of mixed-signal verification and post-silicon validation techniques.
- Ability to lead and coordinate with layout/mask teams and provide clear design guidance.
Nice to have
- Ph.D in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Experience in high-speed interface design (e.g., PCIe, MIPI, SerDes, UCIe, memory interfaces, or other high-speed interface standards).
- Familiarity with advanced FinFET process.
- Knowledge of circuit modeling using Verilog-A, matlab.
- Knowledge of hardware description languages (Verilog/SystemVerilog).
- Experience with automation scripting (Python, Perl, Tcl) to enhance design efficiency.
