Senior Circuit Design Engineer - Noise - United States
$168,000 - $264,500 USD yearly
Originally posted 24 July 2026 by the employer — open 48 days.
About the role
This role involves designing innovative circuits (digital, semi-custom, and mixed-signal analog) for silicon correlation and noise mitigation, contributing to processor design in deep submicron technologies.
What you'll do
- Design innovative circuits (digital, semi-custom, and mixed-signal analog) for silicon correlation and noise mitigation.
- Perform detailed transistor-level analysis on designs to improve performance and reliability.
- Drive design and physical implementation of digital and/or mixed-signal analog circuit IPs for voltage and noise sensing using custom and automated tools.
- Create prototypes of patentable ideas on test chips.
- Mentor and technically lead junior team members.
What you'll need
- 8+ years of experience.
- Good understanding of deep submicron process issues and digital circuit design techniques.
- Familiarity/experience with analog and mixed-signal block design such as op-amp, comparator, ADC.
- Hands-on experience running Spice simulations, EM/IR analysis, and static timing analysis/closure.
- Experience with spice simulation for noise analysis, loop stability analysis, ac/dc/transient analysis, monte-carlo.
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience in design and analysis of digital and mixed-signal voltage sensors.
- Exposure to flash ADC design.
- Experience with RTL, logic synthesis and verification, knowledge of Place and Route, and understanding of Design-for-test (DFT).
- Proficiency in scripting language, such as, Perl, Tcl, Make and automation methods/algorithms.
- Prior leadership experience.
Skills: analog and mixed-signal block design, op-amp, comparator, ADC, Spice simulations, noise analysis
