TL;DR · Mixed Signal Design Engineer

JOB TITLE: Mixed Signal Design Engineer - New College Grad 2026 The Mixed Signal Design Engineer - New College Grad 2026 joins a team building next generation NVLINK technology. This role involves developing and implementing high speed interfaces and analog circuits, taking innovative integrated circuit designs at data rates of 25Gbps and higher from concept through silicon characterization. Key responsibilities include defining circuit requirements, completing designs from schematic to layout and verification, and providing guidance for high-speed routings. You will use deep-submicron CMOS technologies and industry standard EDA tools like Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Hspice, Finesim, and XA. Required skills include behavioral modeling, noise analysis, loop stability analysis, and monte-carlo simulations. The work focuses on solving technical challenges in high-speed mixed-signal design for products ranging from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and artificial intelligence.

What you'll do

  • Develop and implement high-speed interfaces and analog circuits for data rates of 25Gbps and higher.
  • Define circuit requirements and complete the full design cycle from schematic and layout to verification and characterization.
  • Conduct schematic design of deep-submicron CMOS technologies using Spectre, Hspice, or similar tools.
  • Own the architecture, transistor design, and verification using industry-standard EDA tools like Cadence Virtuoso.
  • Optimize circuits to meet specific system performance requirements.
  • Provide detailed floorplans and guidance to layout engineers for matching and high-speed routings.
  • Provide technical support for post-silicon bring-up and debugging.

What we're looking for

  • Hold a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Possess a strong analog design background.
  • Have prior experience in CMOS Analog / Mixed Signal Circuit Design in deep sub-micron processes, especially FINFET.
  • Experience with design and verification tools including Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, HSpice, Finesim, and XA.
  • Experience in crafting test bench environments for component and top-level circuit verification.
  • Ability to perform behavioral modeling of analog and digital circuits.
  • Proficiency in analog simulation for noise analysis, loop stability analysis, ac/dc/tran analysis, and monte-carlo.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work as a great teammate (preferred).
