Senior/Staff Analog IC Design Engineer - HQ - Vancouver, WA, United States
$150,000 - $200,000 USD yearly
Originally posted 9 July 2026 by the employer — open 62 days.
This role involves developing a chiplet solution for high-performance chips.
About the role
This role involves designing and developing high-quality analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, contributing to fundamental analog building blocks from initial specification through post-layout verification and silicon validation.
What you'll do
- Design and develop core analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks, including bandgap references, oscillators, LDOs, op-amps, ADCs, and DACs.
- Translate system and block-level specifications into robust circuit architectures and implementations.
- Perform schematic capture, simulation, and optimization to meet performance, power, area, and reliability targets.
- Provide layout guidance and collaborate with layout engineers to ensure design intent is met.
- Perform post-layout (PEX) simulations and correlations with pre-layout analysis.
- Support silicon bring-up, block-level evaluation, characterization, and debugging.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or a related field.
- 5+ years of hands-on analog design experience.
- Strong foundation in analog circuit theory, device physics, and CMOS technologies.
- Experience designing common analog blocks such as bandgaps, LDOs, oscillators, op-amps, ADCs, and DACs.
- Proven ability to carry designs from specification through schematic, simulation, layout guidance, and post-layout verification.
- Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence).
- Solid experience with DC, AC, transient, noise, and corner simulations.
- Working knowledge of reliability, mismatch, and layout-dependent effects.
- Hands-on laboratory experience, including silicon bring-up, bench characterization, and debugging of analog/mixed-signal ICs.
Nice to have
- Experience with deep submicron CMOS process technologies.
- Familiarity with high-power or high-accuracy analog design techniques.
