As an Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Engineer, you will join the team to design, simulate, and optimize high-performance transistor-level circuits, data converters, high-speed I/Os, and power management for advanced semiconductor process nodes. Your daily responsibilities involve designing analog blocks such as ADCs, DACs, bandgaps, LDOs, and PLLs using both transistor-level and behavioral modeling tools. You will also manage physical custom layouts, perform SPICE and post-layout extractions to minimize parasitics, and conduct silicon bring-up and lab testing to characterize integrated circuit performance while debugging hardware issues with ATE engineers. To succeed in this role, you must possess proficiency in Cadence design tools like Virtuoso and Analog Artist, as well as MATLAB. This position focuses on solving complex technical challenges within the semiconductor domain by developing critical components for advanced integrated circuits.
Design, simulate, and optimize high-performance transistor-level circuits and data converters.
Develop analog blocks including ADCs, DACs, bandgaps, LDOs, and PLLs.
Create both transistor-level and behavioral models for circuit designs.
Oversee physical custom layouts and perform SPICE and post-layout extractions to minimize parasitics.
Characterize integrated circuit performance in the lab using specialized test equipment.
Debug hardware issues and coordinate with automatic test equipment engineers.
Utilize Cadence Virtuoso, Analog Artist, and MATLAB for design and modeling tasks.
What we're looking for
Experience in designing, simulating, and optimizing high-performance transistor-level circuits, data converters, high-speed I/Os, and power management.
Ability to design analog blocks such as ADCs, DACs, bandgaps, LDOs, and PLLs using transistor-level and behavioral modeling tools.
Experience in physical custom layout, SPICE simulation, and post-layout extractions to minimize parasitics.
Experience characterizing IC performance in a lab setting using test equipment and debugging hardware issues.
5+ years of relevant experience depending on the seniority level (Staff, Senior, or Lead).
Strong working knowledge of Cadence design tools like Virtuoso and Analog Artist.
Proficiency in MATLAB.
A Master’s degree (MSEE) or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering is preferred; a Bachelor’s degree with extensive industry experience is acceptable.
