Senior Analog Design Engineer - Austin, Texas, United States
Originally posted 15 April 2026 by the employer — open 147 days.
About the role
This role involves developing high-performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for consumer and embedded applications. You will contribute to the design of ICs spanning data converters and power management.
What you'll do
- Design and develop analog and mixed-signal IC blocks, including data converters, power management, and amplifiers, in advanced CMOS processes.
- Define architectures, perform transistor‑level design, and create behavioral and system models using Matlab, Verilog‑A, SystemVerilog, and Simulink.
- Simulate and verify circuit and chip‑level performance using Spectre and mixed‑signal methodologies (analog‑on‑top, digital‑on‑top).
- Lead or support layout implementation, post‑layout simulation, and performance optimization, ensuring DRC/LVS closure.
- Perform silicon bring‑up, lab validation, debug, and post‑silicon characterization using standard lab instrumentation.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including digital, layout, test, and systems engineering to ensure robust, manufacturable designs.
What you'll need
- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with relevant IC design experience.
- Strong foundation in CMOS analog and mixed‑signal IC design.
- Deep understanding of the analog design flow: architecture, design, integration, verification, and silicon validation.
- Proficiency with analog modeling and simulation tools (Matlab, Spectre, Verilog‑A, SystemVerilog).
- Solid understanding of device physics, noise analysis, stability, and control theory.
- Hands‑on lab experience with silicon debug and validation.
Nice to have
- Experience with power conversion architectures (inductive and/or capacitive).
- Experience with Delta‑sigma ADCs/DACs and discrete‑time or continuous‑time signal processing.
- Experience with Switched‑capacitor circuits, PLLs, LNAs, and audio‑oriented analog blocks.
- Experience with System and behavioral modeling.
- Familiarity with reliability topics (ESD, latch‑up, long‑term device stress).
- Experience across multiple CMOS process nodes and geometry scales.
- Ability to plan, lead, and review analog subsystem designs.
