Principal Engineer, Mixed Signal Design Engineering - United States
Originally posted 14 July 2026 by the employer — open 58 days.
About the role
This role involves developing high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks within integrated circuits, executing complex designs from schematic through silicon validation. You will contribute to products across multiple application areas, focusing on high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks.
What you'll do
- Design and implement analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks at the transistor level, including data conversion, signal conditioning, references, LDOs, and charge pumps.
- Apply AI/ML techniques to enhance design automation, optimization, and modeling workflows.
- Execute designs from schematic capture through simulation, layout oversight, and post-layout verification.
- Perform parasitic-aware simulation, layout-dependent effect analysis, and design centering across process corners.
- Develop and validate behavioral models for mixed-signal subsystems to support system-level simulation.
- Support silicon bring-up, debug, and correlation of measured results against simulation predictions.
What you'll need
- MSEE with 7+ years of analog/mixed-signal IC design experience, or PhD with 5+ years.
- Strong transistor-level design skills for high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits.
- Demonstrated ability to deliver designs through tape-out, silicon validation, and production release.
- Solid understanding of CMOS and BCD process technologies, including device physics, matching, and layout-dependent effects.
- Proficiency with Cadence IC design suite: Virtuoso, Spectre/APS, and AMS Designer.
- Proficiency in digitally-assisted and high-speed analog design techniques.
Nice to have
- Experience with advanced process nodes and high-voltage or high-speed design techniques.
- Familiarity with digital interface protocols (I2C, SPI, UART) and mixed-signal SoC integration.
- Curiosity and initiative to explore AI/ML techniques and emerging tools that can transform design workflows.
