Senior Staff 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 advanced consumer and embedded applications. You will contribute to the design of ICs spanning data converters, power management, and amplifiers implemented in advanced CMOS processes.
What you'll do
- Design and develop analog and mixed-signal IC blocks from concept through production, including data converters, power management, and amplifiers.
- 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.
- Support product validation, characterization, and production test development through debug, analysis, and silicon learning.
What you'll need
- 10+ years (Bachelor's), 8+ years (Master's), or 6+ years (PhD) of 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.
Skills: analog and mixed-signal IC blocks, data converters, power management, transistor-level design, Spectre, silicon validation
