About the role

As a Staff Analog Design Engineer, you will contribute to the design of high-performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for advanced consumer and embedded applications. This role involves the design of data converters, power management, amplifiers, and common analog infrastructure implemented in advanced CMOS processes.

What you'll do

• Design and develop analog and mixed-signal IC blocks from concept through production.
• 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).
• 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.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including digital, layout, test, and systems engineering.

What you'll need

• 7+ years of relevant IC design experience with a Bachelor's degree, 5+ years with a Master's degree, or 3+ years with a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 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.
