Senior Analog IC Design Engineer - San Jose, CA, United States
$211,200 USD yearly
Originally posted 19 August 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves the design and development of analog and mixed-signal IC circuit blocks from initial specification and architecture to post-silicon verification.
What you'll do
- Design and simulate analog and mixed-signal circuits.
- Collaborate with mask designers for physical design.
- Integrate analog/mixed-signal blocks into large digital chips.
- Define bench-level test plans for post-silicon characterization and debug.
- Lead and mentor junior engineers.
What you'll need
- Multiple years of experience in analog/mixed-signal circuit design (10+ years with BS, 8+ years with MS, 5+ years with PhD).
- Proven design experience with SerDes receivers/transmitters, low-jitter PLLs, oscillators, phase interpolators, ADC/DAC, high speed clock distribution, bandgap/bias, and voltage regulators.
- In-depth knowledge of transistor mismatch, linearity, stability, low-power, and low-noise techniques.
- Experience designing circuits in advanced FinFET technologies.
- Proficiency in AMS design flows, tools, and methodologies including Cadence schematic capture, Virtuoso, Spectre, layout, and analog behavioral modeling.
