Principal Analog Design Engineer, HBM - Richardson, TX, United States
Originally posted 26 August 2026 by the employer — open 14 days.
Lead the design of HBM analog circuits including high-speed transmitters and receivers, PLLs, DLLs, and CDRs.
About the role
This role involves leading the design, integration, and delivery of advanced analog and mixed-signal IPs for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products.
What you'll do
- Lead the design and own critical HBM analog circuits, including high-speed transmitters and receivers, PLLs, DLLs, CDRs, SerDes-related analog blocks, biasing, reference, calibration circuits, and power delivery and regulation circuits (LDOs, regulators).
- Define and manage IP interfaces, power domains, clocking schemes, and reset strategies across subsystems.
- Perform detailed pre-layout and post-layout simulations.
- Conduct PVT, Monte Carlo, mismatch, and aging analyses.
- Work closely with layout engineers to define floorplanning and symmetry requirements, ensure matching, shielding, and EM/IR compliance.
- Review and sign off on analog layouts and drive layout-aware design optimizations for advanced nodes.
What you'll need
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 10–15+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design.
- Proven expertise in high-speed interface design, clocking circuits (PLL/DLL/CDR), and power management circuits.
- Strong experience in analog IP integration at subsystem or SoC level.
- Strong experience in SPICE simulation, extraction, and modeling.
- Strong experience in silicon bring-up and lab validation.
- Deep understanding of advanced CMOS processes, noise, jitter, SI/PI, and cross-domain coupling effects.
Nice to have
- Deep knowledge of DRAM sub-system architecture, specification, operation, or design.
- Understanding of Physical Layout & Circuit Floor Planning.
