- Propose, evaluate, and implement new or improved circuit topologies to enhance block PPAC.
- Work with internal data science teams and EDA vendors to leverage agentic AI and AI-assisted design flows for circuit optimization.
- Expand verification coverage to strengthen robustness and mass-production yield.
- Partner with global design groups, guide layout through post-layout simulation, and support silicon-to-simulation correlation.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with 10+ years of semiconductor design experience.
- Solid analog circuit design fundamentals with experience designing regulators, charge pumps, oscillators, current references, bandgaps, or comparators.
- Proficiency with SPICE and Verilog modeling and simulation.
- Ability to supervise physical layout of analog circuits.
- Experience working across technical and non-technical teams.
Nice to have
- MSEE with 10+ years or BSEE with 12+ years of analog or mixed-signal IC design experience.
- Demonstrated DRAM circuit design experience and 5+ years of circuit debugging.
- Recent hands-on AI usage and proficiency.
- Strong understanding of device physics and CMOS process technologies.
- Proven ability to mentor and coach junior engineers.
