Analog and Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer

Job Title

Analog and Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and verify analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits and IP (opamps, comparators, bandgaps, ADCs/DACs, power converters, sensors). Deliver transistor-level designs, physical layout coordination, verification, and documentation for production chips.

Work with cross-functional teams including digital design, package/layout engineers, and test/ATE engineers. Role may be individual contributor or lead small design teams.

Experience Level

Senior — typical experience expectations: Bachelor's +8 years, Master's +6 years, or PhD +3 years.

Responsibilities

Primary duties include design, verification, layout coordination, and test support for analog and mixed-signal ICs.

• Architect, design, and optimize analog blocks and subsystems at the transistor level.
• Perform behavioral and corner/Monte Carlo/aging/over-voltage simulations pre- and post-layout.
• Create or review custom physical layout; coordinate with layout and package engineers on pinout/ballout.
• Define internal chip interfaces and select PCB components for testing.
• Develop and review PC test board schematics and collaborate with ATE teams to develop production tests.
• Characterize and debug IC performance using laboratory equipment; support post-silicon bench testing.
• Document design, verification, and test results.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• Strong analog design skills and deep knowledge of CMOS devices and analog/high-voltage layout techniques.
• Experience with Cadence design environment, including transistor-level design (Analog Artist) and Virtuoso layout tools.
• Experience with simulation, verification, and extraction tools and methodologies (corner, Monte Carlo, post-layout).
• Ability to optimize power, area, and performance and to implement and tune circuit architectures.
• Hands-on experience with lab characterization, debugging, and working with ATE/test teams.
• Effective written and verbal communication and ability to work in a team.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with switched power supplies, high-voltage BCD technologies, LDOs, buck/boost/buck-boost converters, and battery chargers.
• Bench testing for post-silicon evaluation.

Education Requirements

Bachelor’s degree with 8+ years of related experience; or Master’s degree with 6+ years; or PhD with 3+ years of related experience.
