Analog Circuit Design Engineer

Job Title

Analog Circuit Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and validate high-speed analog and mixed-signal circuits for advanced process nodes, supporting IP and custom silicon products. The role works with cross-functional teams across architecture, layout, and validation to deliver robust, manufacturable analog blocks.

Experience Level

Mid-level — typically 3+ years of relevant analog circuit design experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include design, verification, and collaboration to take analog blocks from specification to silicon.

• Design, simulate, and optimize high-speed analog circuits for advanced process nodes.
• Perform circuit validation, post-layout extraction, and correlate measurements with simulations.
• Create and execute test plans to verify designs against block specifications.
• Optimize designs for power, performance, area, timing, and yield.
• Collaborate with architecture, layout, and cross-functional teams to resolve design issues.
• Conduct layout reviews and provide guidance on placement and routing.
• Support post-silicon debug and validation for high-volume manufacturing.
• Improve design methodologies and processes to reduce turnaround time and increase quality.

Requirements

Must-have skills and tools for competent performance in this role:

• 3+ years of hands-on analog circuit design experience (high-speed focus preferred).
• Proficiency with CMOS design and RC circuit fundamentals.
• Experience designing high-speed I/O circuits and modelling interconnects/channels.
• Experienced with circuit simulators and analog design tools such as Spectre, HSPICE, Prime-Sim, Cadence Virtuoso, ADE, or equivalent schematic/layout editors.
• Familiarity with DRC, LVS, and post-layout extraction flows.
• Ability to perform lab measurements and correlate results to simulations.

Preferred / Nice-to-have:

• Exposure to high-speed digital circuit design and analysis.
• Familiarity with digitally assisted analog techniques and Verilog-A behavioral modeling.
• Scripting experience (TCL, Perl, C, Python) for automation and testbench development.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field is required by the posting.
