Mixed Signal Design Engineer - New College Grad 2026 - United States
$116,000 - $189,750 USD yearly
Originally posted 28 September 2026 by the employer.
Design high-speed interfaces and analog circuits for NVLINK.
About the role
What you'll do
- Develop and implement high speed interfaces and analog circuits.
- Define circuit requirements and complete design from schematic, layout, and verification to characterization.
- Conduct schematic design of deep-submicron CMOS technologies using Spectre, Hspice or like.
- Optimize circuits to meet system performance specifications.
- Work closely with layout engineers by providing detailed floorplan and guidance for matching and high-speed routings.
- Provide support for post-silicon bring-up and debugging.
What you'll need
- Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field with strong analog design background.
- Prior analog design experience.
- CMOS Analog / Mixed Signal Circuit Design Experience in deep sub-micron process (especially in FINFET).
- Experience with design and verification tools (Cadence's IC design environment, analog circuit simulation tools like Spectre, HSpice, Finesim, XA).
- Experience in crafting test bench environments for component and top level circuit verification.
- Behavioral modeling of analog and digital circuits.
- Analog simulation for noise analysis, loop stability analysis, ac/dc/tran analysis, monte-carlo, etc.
Skills: schematic design, layout, verification, CMOS Analog, Spectre
