$153,000 - $203,000 USD yearly
Originally posted 11 June 2026 by the employer — open 91 days. Relisted by the employer on 22 June 2026.
About the role
This role involves providing technical leadership and architectural direction for the development of advanced analog and mixed-signal IP for timing solutions.
What you'll do
- Define architecture, specifications, and design methodologies for high-performance analog IP, including PLLs, DLLs, ADCs, DACs, filters, and high-speed I/O interfaces.
- Drive top-level mixed-signal system architecture to ensure robust integration of analog IP within complex SoC environments.
- Provide senior-level technical guidance to analog design teams through design reviews, modeling strategy, simulation methodology, and silicon bring-up.
- Lead transistor-level design and advanced simulations across process corners and operating conditions.
- Develop and review behavioral and Verilog-A models to support efficient mixed-signal SoC simulation.
- Guide silicon validation, characterization, test planning, and system-level laboratory evaluation.
What you'll need
- Master’s degree or Doctorate in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
- 10+ years of industry experience in analog and mixed-signal IC design.
- Proven experience designing high-speed and analog circuits such as PLLs/DLLs, ADCs/DACs, filters, and high-speed I/O.
- Strong fundamentals in device physics, circuit theory, and layout-aware design.
- Extensive experience with Cadence IC design tools and flows.
- Hands-on experience with scripting and automation (e.g., Skill, Python, Perl, Tcl).
- Strong communication skills and experience working effectively in multi-site engineering teams.
Nice to have
- Advanced academic study or research in analog or mixed-signal design.
- Experience applying research concepts to practical, production-ready silicon.
- Expertise in mixed-signal system-level design and architecture.
- Strong proficiency in Verilog-A for analog behavioral modeling.
- Experience with silicon bring-up, debug, and characterization in lab environments.
- Exposure to MEMS analog interface circuits.
