Sr. Analog Design Engineer (TERADYNE, Agoura Hills, CA)
$154,900 - $247,800 USD yearly
Originally posted 21 August 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves designing low to high-speed circuits in mixed-signal ICs for ATE instruments.
What you'll do
- Develop detailed circuit specifications for mixed signal circuits.
- Conceive circuit architectures and transistor level circuit topologies.
- Physically implement (layout) high speed circuits or assist with implementation.
- Optimize circuits via simulation with Cadence EDA tools over all process and operating conditions.
- Integrate circuit elements into large analog/mixed signals ASICs.
- Participate in the characterization of ASIC circuits.
What you'll need
- BSEE and MSEE, or PhD in electrical engineering.
- 8+ years of experience in the design and characterization of multiple, high frequency and high scale of integration mixed signal integrated circuits.
- Thorough knowledge of high frequency, broad-band Analog Mixed-Signal IC design (electrical and physical design).
- Experience in design of VCOs, PLLs, DLLs, ADCs, DACs, clock and data recovery, broadband amplifiers, bias generators, clock distribution networks, high frequency I/Os, high frequency CML designs, high voltage, power circuits.
- Solid understanding of CMOS semiconductor device physics and device modeling.
- Solid understanding of electromagnetic theory.
- Solid understanding of transmission line theory.
- Solid understanding of thermal effects of various circuit topologies and different package types.
- Involvement in all phases of multiple IC developments from specification to product introduction.
- Direct experience in FINFET.
- Generic experience in deep sub-micron CMOS (nodes < 28 nm).
- Solid understanding and experience with IC characterization at high frequencies using high speed sampling oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal sources.
- Solid understanding of working with PDKs.
Nice to have
- Experience with Cadence Skill or Ocean scripting for automating test benches.
- Proficiency in Verilog or Verilog-A modeling.
- Experience in BCD technology.
- Experience with high voltage and/or mixed voltage domain circuit design.
- Experience with ATE test development.
Skills: mixed-signal ICs, ATE instruments, FINFET, transistor level circuit topologies, high frequency
