Principal Engineer - Analog Design - Canada - Ottawa - March Road, Canada

Originally posted 5 August 2026 by the employer.

About the role

This role involves the design, simulation, and validation of analog integrated circuits (ICs) within mixed-signal SOC designs. The focus is on developing critical IP blocks used in timing products, including multi-GHz PLL circuits, high speed digital circuits, MEMS drivers, and high-speed performance IO pads.

What you'll do

• Work with analog design leads and architects to design specific analog IP blocks.
• Simulate analog circuits across process corners and operating conditions.
• Develop models of design blocks for inclusion in top-level mixed-signal simulations.
• Perform block-level validation of silicon process devices.
• Perform system-level laboratory evaluation.

What you'll need

• Master’s degree or PhD in electrical engineering.
• Minimum 5 years of direct experience working on analog and mixed-signal circuits.
• High-speed and analog circuit design experience including ADCs, DACs, Filters, PLLs, DLLs, and high-speed I/Os.
• Strong fundamentals in circuit theory, design, and layout.
• Hands-on experience in scripting and automation using skill language, python, Perl, and tcl.
• Strong knowledge in Cadence IC design flow and tools.
• Strong knowledgeable in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling and simulation.

Nice to have

• Expertise in the system design of mixed signal circuits.
